Turnastone marriage - Broade/Lodington 1722

[James R. Yeowell]

Sandy,

That was a rather swift reply!  Thanks for that.  It does help a little knowing he was of St. Albans in Wood Street (although I'm not sure if that's referring to a church of St. Alban in Wood Street or not -- I'll have a look).  He is not an ancestor but I am always interesting in finding potential new cousins.

A look at the original PRs would be very much of use to me.  Thank you for the kind offer.  I am mostly trying to find out where Ann Lodington fits in as I only have the one Ann Lodington who seems to fit right now and I'm not sure if it is her or not.

The Anne Lodington I have was born 14 April 1695 and christened 15 May 1695 at St. James, Westminster.  She was the daughter of William Lodington and Elizabeth.

Alas, that is all I know of her and her family.  I am not even sure who William Lodington her father is as of yet.

I believe the only links I have to Benefield are via the Broade family when they were rectors there, so I am unsure whether there will be many others to look for.  Unless, of course, Thomas Bradford and his wife Mary Broade had children in Benefield.

And in case anyone else is following the family  James from same indexes.

Southwick By License   

10 Jun 1755
Francis BROADE of Benefield, clerk to Martha LYNN otp

I believe Martha Lynn's uncle was rector of Southwick at this time, so I am surprised this record does not mention this.  I am sure the information relating to Rev. Thomas Broade's wife Anne Lodington is around somewhere though.  That's the problem with clergy and middle-class families, they tended to move around a lot so it's not always easy to pin down a daughter to a specific branch.  Although in this case I am sure she's related to her son-in-law Thomas Lodington in some kind of close kinship.

Addendum: oh and Sandy, thanks again.  There are a few other Lodington researchers on Rootschat, so posting such information is especially welcome.

Hi James.

The above is only from an index so when I look at the original
for you it will note more hopefully.

Sandy

[James R. Yeowell]

I was indeed correct.  St. Alban was a chuch in Wood Street, so Thomas Bradford may have been a clerk, or related to a clergyman.  I shall see what I can find.

Addendum: ah, thanks for the explanation.  I hope the full PR does indeed glean more information.  Some parishes are better than others though, of course.

[James R. Yeowell]

I found this in relation to Charterhouse Chapel:

1751 Oct. 31 Thomas Bradford, of the Parish of St. Alban's, Woodstreet,

London, Widower, and Susanna Killett, of ye same Parish,
Spinster. With Licence, W. Ramsden.

So it looks like he remarried within 2 years of his first marriage, which obviously suggests Mary Broade died between 16 July 1749 and 31 October 1751.

Although here it says he's of the parish of St. Alban's in Wood Street, so he may have just lived in Wood Street and not been associated with the church.

I shall return the compliment James, "that was quick".

I will look at the fiches hopefully tomorrow for the village
which had an Upper and Lower if I remember correctly.

[James R. Yeowell]

Well I am usually pretty good with Google searches but it seems other researchers of this interesting family group have different eyes than I do, as they've found lots of interesting information I had not come across before.

I look forward to finding out what the PR entries for Benefield say.  I know they often have notes in the margin written by the vicar, rector or clerk, so I am hoping this is the case here.

Of course, if anyone has access to the Turnastone PRs too, I would be extremely grateful to hear from you.

[James R. Yeowell]

A quick update:

Mary Bradford, née Broade was buried on 8 August 1750 at St. Alban's, Wood Street, City of London.

John Berriman was the rector at this time.#

Addendum:

Thomas Bradford and Susanna Killett had at least 2 children:

1. Thomas Bradford, born 28 January 1753 and chr. 16 February 1753, St. Alban's, Wood Street
2. Samuel Killet Bradford, born 23 July 1754 and chr. 26 August 1754 St. Alban's, Wood Street

Something else I should add, just in case anyone reading this can be of assistance, as it is relevant to Herefordshire also:

I'm seeking further information on Rev. Thomas Broade, of Mordiford, Herefordshire who married Margery Hereford (chr. 28 Feb. 1636, St. Martin, Hereford and daughter of Roger Hereford, of Sufton Court, Herefordshire and his wife Frances Rodd, daughter of James Rodd, of Hereford) on 13 April 1665 in Mordiford, Herefordshire.

They had 3 children, one of whom was Rev. Francis Broade, M.A., B.A., prebendary of Hereford, vicar of Brinsop, vicar of Yazor, rector of Stoke Lacy, rector of Bromyard (2nd Portion).  He may have also been canon of Hereford but I think the source meant prebendary instead.

All I know about the above Rev. Thomas Broade was that he was of Mordiford.  I do not know if he was vicar or rector of this parish.

His two other children were, viz. Thomas Broade, chr. 17 November 1669 and Richard Broade, chr. 18 September 1673, both at Mordiford.

The Broade family's arms and crest are as follows, just in case this helps pin them down:

Arms: Gules a chevron Or. between 3 leopards' faces Argent, crowned of the second
Crest: On a chapeau Azure, turned up ermine, a leopard's head coupled Argent, crowned Or.

Granted 27 June, 13 Chas. I. (1639) by Sir Edward Bysshe. Garter.


I therefore presume the above Rev. Thomas Broade took these arms as he fl. during the reign of Charles I.
