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. Witnesses were Mary Ann Tremlett & John Cockrell, no addresses given. 1841: William & Mary were at Red Cow Village, Exeter St David's; William was; 25yrs, Labourer, born in Devon. He died at Exeter St David on April 11 1847, aged 33 yrs (death cert) & was buried at Exeter St David, (Church record) April 18 1847, William Burridge, 33 yrs, labourer of Red Cow Village. The 1851 Census showed Mary to have been born in Kenton & her father John Cowell was still the blacksmith there. So the only information I have to go on trying to find William Burridge's birth record is that he was born c 1813, in Devon, the son of James Burridge. I have purchased the DFHS print out for Burridges and there is one in Sandford who fits, but I am trying to find any others who may not have been transcribed by them. I don't want to trace the wrong family! If anyone has access to baptisms from around that time I would appreciate a look up please. I think I have exhausted all possibilities from here?
