BB - have you tried using the "Shrink Link" tool?

Scroll to the bottom of any RC page; in the black section, under "Tour Tools", you fill find "Shrink Link"!

Thanks! I'd often wondered how people did that.

Easy once you've been told

Link shrunk!

Sorry cupcake no photos... the George & Dragon pub is now a private house.

I did find out some probate index information, Samuel Partridge of Cranfield died 11 Dec 1917 & left effects of £329.16.3 to widow Eliza. When she died 29 Dec 1925 her estate was administered to sons Fred Harry Partridge & Leonard Flanders Partridge, bakers, effects value £277.4.5. Some of this administration docs are held at Bedford Archives.

Leonard Flanders Partridge married Lizzie Clara Munday of Cranfield in March 1903 most likely at Cranfield. Leonard died 30 Oct 1946 while at 50 Ford End Road Bedford; wife Lizzie Clara died 23 June 1959 while living at 292 Bedford Road, Kempston. Also at that address is spinster Cecilia May Partridge (Leonard & Gertude's sister) when she died on 19 May 1959. Leonard & Lizzie's effects were left to their daughter Violet Annie born Sept 1905 (now wife of Charles John Munday - married 1939)

John,

Once again, many thanks for the information.

Pity there are no photographs, but not a problem.

John,

Not sure whether you know this :

Percy Charles KIDMAN parents James Julian KIDMAN and Louisa KIDMAN (don't know her maiden though) are buried at Edworth, St George, Bedfordshire. The church has one service each year, on St. Georges Day. I have a photograph of their burial place if you would like it. I was there in 2004 and buried my mother's ashes with her Grandparents as, I didn't know then, her parents were buried in Biggleswade.

Do you know where Samuel PARTRIDGE and his wife Eliza are buried?

Hello cupcake

I have James Julian Kidman marrying Louisa CROUCH at Wandsworth on 9 Oct 1872.

As to the burials of Samuel died 1917 & Eliza Partridge died 1925 I don't know ?, I would suggest they are in Cranfield as that's where they were in 1911, their death indexes are in Ampthill RD. I could check the burial registers next time I'm at the Beds Archives.

Also Samuel Partridge, baker in Cranfield is in Kelly's directory of 1914. I also found in that, Horace Bernard Partridge, baker in Woburn Sands, most likely Samuels's son born Dec 1887

regards John

Hello John,

Thank you for all the information. I didn't have James Julian KIDMAN  marriage details and, Louisa's maiden name.

Yes, it is possible they are in Cranfield if they were there in 1911. If it is no trouble, I would appreciate if you could check the burial registers the next time you are at the archives.

Looks as if Samuel Partridge was still a baker 3 years before he died. So, the son Horace carried on in his father's footsteps.

Kind regards

I realise  this post was way back in 2013 but I was wondering if you will be at the Bedfordshire Archives sometime, regarding the burial places of Samuel & Eliza Partridge.
