Thanks to Rod for bringing us his latest efforts on the BRIDGEMAN's I also have a BRIDGEMAN I have not managed to trace (yet!!) My 2 x gt grandmother was a Mary Ann BRIDGEMAN,she married James BENDELL at Kingsclere 2 August 1830,they were "both of Ecchinswell" The only Mary Ann B.I have found so far was baptised in 1794 (illigit but I could not quite make out the names)I feel ths may be too early.My gt grandmother Ann was born in 1831. If anyone has come across another Mary Ann I would be interested!. Elizabeth __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
