Find Ancestors

Hi all, can anyone help me find any information on William cir 1806 Penhow, Langstone, Monmouthshire area, and his family. On the 1841 Census William, Rebecca and children William 6, Valentine 4 & Rebecca 2 were named as Steder, on the 1851 William, Rebecca, William 15, Rebecca 11, James 9, Emma 6 surname was listed as Stidder - I am trying to find a marriage for Rebecca, and James. My family have always spelt their surname Steddar. Valentine is my ancester and I have a lot of information on him and his family.

Thanks for the information, you are great.

my pleasure!!!

A little more help please, Sarah Ann Steddar b 1872, had two illegitimate children Wyndham b 1896 and Edith b 1900 at Langstone, is there any way to find out who fathered the children - the family think their father might have been Hezekiah ? Sarah married Thomas Davies in 1903, Edith married as a Davies, Wyndham remained a Steddar.

These look like the birth registrations, both in the name Stidder.

Births Jun 1895 (>99%)
Stiddar Wyndham Newport, M. 11a 200

Births Dec 1899 (>99%)
Stidder Edith May Newport, M. 11a 172

If there is no father named on the certs, it's going to be very difficult to know who the father was, unless a name is mentioned in baptism records.

Do you have the family on the 1901 census?




Christine

Yes I have the 1901 Census

Was Sarah Ann living alone with the children?

Christine

No, also listed on the Census were her widowed father Valentine 66, sister Mary 14, as well as her 2 childlren

poss marr, but a groom is missing

Marriages Jun 1858 (>99%)

Gwillim Enoch Newport M 11a 280
>>>>>>>Stidder Rebecca Newport M. 11a 280
Thomas Elizabeth Newport M 11a 280


EDIT

poss death

Deaths Jun 1896 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Thompson Rebecca 57 Bedwelty 11a 57

Anne of Green Gables has already given me the marriage of Rebecca to Abraham Hodges in 1858. Can you find a marriage of James Steddar born 1832? I have checked free bdm but am having trouble with different spellings of surname.

Can't find any marriage for James but found this poss death

Deaths Jun 1852 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Stidder James Chepstow 11a 5

The district Chepstow spans the boundaries of the counties of Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire

EDIT
Sorry that'll be wrong just found him in 1861, birth listed as 1842 not 1832

Sorry I gave you wrong birth year, should have been 1842, I'm starting to think surname is stidder not steddar!! that would be a shock to the family

you may already have this baptism at Langstone

11/07/1834 Stedder William William & Rebekah Langstone Lab

no suggested father on the baptism records

21 May 1895 Wyndham s/o Sarah Anne Steddar, Llanbeder, single woman
