The clockmaker! My mother says yes - her father was supposed to join become a clockmaker too, but ran away to sea instead. West Tisted near Alresford, is a village not 10 miles away from where we live now - it's an extraordinary co-incidence. The village of Ropley, where Elizabeth was born is also close by. My mother had no idea that her grandfather came from here. We have a photograph of Mary Purdue: a demure young woman in a Victorian dress. |

Hi, I see you are related to the Dridge's in Emsworth Hampshire, if you are interested in that family I do have a lot of information which I would be only to please to share. My husbands grandfather although born a Dridge in Emsworth but was registered as Dredge on his marriage in London and it remains Dredge. Uncle Ted has confirmed everything I have found so I know its all correct. |
