no Thomas Strudwick born in Berkshire 1845-1855

jax -- they were living in Berkshire in 1861

sister Charlotte was born there 1849

he undoubtedly thought he was born there too

one more lesson in the importance of giving all the info to start with, especially complete census records :-)

Deaths Dec 1883

no other Strudwick death in Lancashire of ours to 1930


although this was quite probably another child of the couple

it very clearly says STRUDWICK on the image of course

this Grace

Deaths Sep 1888
Strudwick Grace 36 Blackburn 8e 244

is unaccounted for

( the only other possible Grace to Strudwick marriage is 1878 Frances Elisha Strudwick and we know he actually married Hannah Maria Williams )


looking for Grace Strudwick in 1881 ...

actually, this one would have a birthdate of c1844 ... and the age at death could be a rounded one

Frank/Francis seems to be an unfortunately popular name for Strudwicks !

Charlotte Strudwick m John Clisby and ended up in the London area
James Strudwick m Annie Wigley and remained in the South Moreton area
John Strudwick Unknown
William Strudwick Unknown
Mary Ann Strudwick m Jacob Rosser in Pontypool but moved up to Wigan.

Mary Ann is my direct decendent and am looking into Frank to see if he was the reason Mary Ann ended up in Pontypool, at a wedding perhaps? Family wise I am sorted down Mary Ann's line.

Regards

Rhys

there's no death or remarriage for either a Grace or an El*r Strudwick that looks applicable

emigration is looking likely !

there's a marriage for that name in Pontypool in 1876 ...



meefy can you tell us which of the children you descend from, presumably, and what you know of the others, to possibly save some hunting ?

just wanting to see where the others went after 1861


ah we crossed in the post, I was guessing what you've said to be fact about Mary Ann and Pontypool ...

One of his siblings, Mary Ann got married in Pontypool to a Jacob Rosser, and Frank could be the reason she ended up in Pontypool. She is my direct ancestor (my great great grandmother) in all this.
