There is also a Benjamin Biggadite with the birth of 16 Jul 1809 which I think must be a transcription error and they were twins as 18 Jul for Matthew and 16 for Benjamin both Christened same day same parents

Matthew Bickerdyke's parents were Joseph Bickerdyke born Yorkshire and Ann Day born Cheshire.

Many thanks for everyones help especially Mel. I have found out that there are several spellings of BICKERDYKE which is very interesting. I am sorting out the maze of info given, just one murky bit is:

My understanding of the family is

JOSEPH BORN 1786 MARRIED 18 JULY 1819
ANN DAY BORN 1788.

I cannot figure out how Matthew born 18 July 1809 can be their son

I did find twins called Matthew and Banjamin but they appeared to die before they reached one years of age.

Is it worth joining Ancestry.co.uk. Will I learn quicker and is it easy to use and finally when I have all this info what is the best web page to build my tree on.. Thanks again

You can either ask someone to get you some software for Christmas eg Rootsmagic, Family Treemaker etc. or you can download Personal Ancestral File (PAF) free at www.familsearch.org I used the free one for years and the advantage of it is if you want to share with other members of your family everyone has free access to the software.

I did a course a couple of years ago and they wanted us to use Family Treemaker which I now use for my own family stuff. The benefit of it is if you have a subscription to Ancestry.co.uk, when you enter a new name you can see if there are possible matches on Ancestry (eg Census records that match the name and year of birth).

The references that your were asking about are where the helpers have given you the "Source" reference so the record can be found again. Software programmes for storing your tree usually allow you to store your sources. They can also be a useful way of filing hard copies of your material.
