Berridges of Exton

[womble42]

Hello-
A few years ago, I used this forum to ask for help on my "Michael Berridge" and someone kindly found a man with that name but married in Exton (not in Cottesmore as first thought).

Having taken a break from the whole family history thing - I have now gone through my notes and realised that Michael Berridge may well have lived in Cottesmore for a long time but on the 1851 census his birthplace IS down as Exton.

Sorry for "smudge" when I didn't fully realise that you had found my ancestor on the marriage records - but you had! So, I now know that he married Mary Cooper in 1821, in Exton but have no idea of baptism and who his parents would be?

Would anyone have access to this information, as there seems to be scant Rutland info available on the internet at the moment.

Thank you , and I shall try to take slightly less time than 4 years, to suss out the obvious!

Hi,

I found one likely baptism in Exton:
Day Mon   Year  Forenames               Surname    son/daughter of    Parents
19,  MAR, 1797, MICHAEL SHARMAN, BERRIDGE, S/O,                       SARAH

Thanks for that Laura - that's about right - he says on the census that he was born "around" 1801 - and there cannot be loads of Michael Berridges born in exton during that era?

Does this mean that only his Mother is listed then?

Hi,

Exton is a small village. As far as I know it has never been much bigger. Here are all the Berridge baptisms for Exton. As you can see, Michael Sharman is the only likely one.

Forgot to say - yes - only the mother is mentioned, so it looks like he was illegitimate. However, you may like to wait an see if anyone has a fiche record of the original register to make sure. However,  have found these transcriptions to be very reliable.

[womble42]

Linda, that is absolutely brilliant. Many thanks, have been trying to get back beyond Michael Berridge and now I find loads more Berridges! Would you have marriage records for the Berridges in Exton as well (really pushing it now!! ) as it would be interesting to see if Sarah married after she had Michael.

Many thanks again for your efforts.

Brilliant  - thanks for that. No sign of Sarah after that birth, so I can only guess where she disappeared to? Michael Berridge spends a lot of time in COttesmore (1841 onwards) , so possibly she moved there? Who knows!

[Fayetta]

Laura do you have a copy of the Exton records available as I am helping with a history project in the village and it would be most useful. I saw how helpful you were to the other reader. Only just signed on to this site so not sure how to do it.
Do hope you can help
