In my previous message, I mentioned that the name should be RIDER not BIDDER. Baptisms of Samuel RIDER (1830), Mary Anne RIDER (1826) and Elizabeth Virtue RIDER (1833) at Bedminster Langton Street Methodist would indicate that they are the baptisms of the three you have mentioned. Parents were John and Christiana RIDER. Father's occupation was Chairmaker at Mary Anne's baptism and Brass Founder at the baptisms of Samuel and Elizabeth Virtue. The address at the time of Samuel's baptism was Somerset Place, Bedminster and Wellington Street, Bedminster at the time of Elizabeth Virtue's baptism. These baptisms are included in the CD of Nonconformist Baptismal Registers in Bristol Record Office 1754 to 1837, which is produced by B & A FHS. www.bafhs.org.uk Josephine -- Josephine Jeremiah www.ianandjo.dsl.pipex.com
