Hi Elizabeth Thanks for your reply. There is a William Burridge baptised in Sandford in 1813, son of George & Ann Burridge. There is also a William Burridge baptised in Sandford in 1814, son of James & Elizabeth (Betty) Burridge. These 2 William Burridges are 1st cousins both named after their grandfather. I think the William who married Joanna Lock in Sandford in 1835, was the son of George, as in 1851, Joanna is the daughter-in-law, widow, living in the household of George & Ann, still in Sandford. So I wonder who the William Burridge is who "is still going strong in 1851 is? I am trying to find what happened to William baptised in 1814, the son of James & Elizabeth. Thanks for the information about James Ward, I have tried unsuccessfully, to find out more about him, as he may be a link somehow?

The William bapt in Sandford is I think in the 1841 married to Joanna and seems to be still going strong in 1851 . There is a John Ward , 2, living with the Burridges , who may be the 11yr old John of the 1851 census son of Thomas and Emma Ward, both b Exeter , and brother to Emily . Emily is I think living in St Thomas Exeter in the 1841 with a family of John Borrow, 35, tanner. and his 6 sons and 1 dau. I don`t know how this helps or if it helps !!! The main cluster of Burridges seems to be around Crediton and William and Joanna get a removal order from Sandford to Upton Helions ........but of James nothing further . Have you got the marriages DFHS from 1754 - 1837 ? that might give you a clue too . life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: "Judy & John Smith" <jsmi7918@bigpond.net.au> To: <devon@rootsweb.com> Sent: Sunday, January 12, 2014 2:54 AM Subject: [DEV] Where was William BURRIDGE born > > > Happy New Year everyone. > > > > Time to try breaking down the old brick walls. > > > > Can anyone please help with locating the baptism record/birthplace of > William BURRIDGE? > > > > Nov 5 1837, William BURRIDGE married Mary COWELL, by Banns (15th, 22nd, > 29th > October) at Exeter Holy Trinity. > > Both were of "Full age" & "of this Parish" living at Trinity Street > Exeter. > He was a labourer. > > > > His father was James BURRIDGE, also a labourer.
