John Herridge B1837 Mere m Joal/Jael Herridge. Have the 1881 Census and that is all, I was wondering if anybody could please look up for me 1891/1901 Census. On the 1881 they are living at Holwell, Mere with 5 children, but the ones most likely to be on the 1891 Census would be Eliza J B1874 Emily B1876 and Rosa B1879
Any help would be appreciated

thanks

I've just looked at that census above again ......... I don't think they are GRANDCHILDREN!! I think Jael has married again! She and Henry are onlt 50, birthdates about the same year as Jael/Joel Herridge!

It looks like Jael remarried doesn't it, thanks for all of that, yes I think Joseph is family but not quite sure where yet as there are so many I didn't realise. I have the 1881 Census of Joseph and John. I have heaps to go through after dinner, I am trying to get in as much as possible. I will keep my genes on line just in case I get any more messages from you.

Julia

Could this be Jael before she married (maybe) John Herridge?

As far as John Herridge is concerned, this is what I found

I'll leave you with that little lot!!


I think you need to try to sort some of the fmailies out.

Maybe John Herridge did marry Jael Herridge. Was she his cousin???


sylvia

One final thing (for tonight anyway)


family search (the LDS site) has this


Jael Herridge Pedigree
Female

Event(s):
Birth:
Christening: 09 AUG 1840 Mere, Wiltshire, England

Death:

It doesn't say, but I think it is an EXTRACTED record, which as you know is as trustworthy as any other recrd on the web.

Hi Sylvia, this is a weird family isn't it, Margaret who was checking something out for me and I mentioned Jael married to either John Norris or John Herridge and she came back with Jael married to John Alford in 1861 but in 1871 John was married to Rachel so I gave that one up as I found John & Jael Herridge on 1881 census.
After checking it all out it seemed strange that is why I posted a message about the 1891/1901 Census. I have been on the BMD and found a couple of things but it looks like tomorrow I am going to be extremely busy sorting it all out.
Thankyou for everything you have done for me, I have just printed it all out to have a good look at. I gathered John was a relation but haven't been able to check that out either, they must be cousins of some sort will have to check it out with all of my other paperwork. Yuk!!!!

Thanks Julia

Hi Julia

ERROR ERROR


Put it down to the lateness when I was typing this, and not checking before posting (and also the typing mistakes!!)


I put :-

Simialrly, I can find a marriage for Henry Burfitt in September 1855 Mere, 3a 357, but not a mathcing reference for Jael/Joel.




It should read:-


Similarly, I can find a marriage for Henry Burfitt in September 1885 Mere, 3a 357, but not a matching reference for Jael/Joel.


yes 1885 ..... NOT 1855!



sorry for that

Here is Jael Herridge with her parents in 1841 (misspelled of course!! I have sent in a correction).

Thomas Herridge abt 1776 Wiltshire, England Mere, Wiltshire Head, Ag Lab

Elizabeth Herridge abt 1821 Wiltshire, England Mere, Wiltshire



Very tempting to suggest a connection!



sylvia

??? John's birth registration ... the certificate would tell you his paretns names and his mother's maiden name

Births Dec 1837 (>99%)

Herridge John Mere 8 299


sylvia

I wonder if "female Herrington" on here is Jael???


Births Jun 1840 (>99%)

Herridge Jane Mere 8 369
Herridge Female Mere 8 368



sylvia

This is an interesting entry if only because of the name of the daughter.

I entered jael, Wiltshire to see how many turned up with that unusual name ................. it is such a strang ename, and looks as though it might be a family name of some sort. This came up on he 1841, and then the family shows in 1851 but wife and daughter are shown on that one only as J Lampard

I've looked on family search, but nothing seems to be on there.


sylvia

Julie,


I think you need to get a look at the parish records for Mere.

I've looked on family search with no results, and on the Hugh Wallis IGI site, but all that is showing on there is the non-conformist chapel, with christenings to about 1837. There are NO Herridges showing there.
