Gary, >From Phillimore's Marriage Index of Minchinhampton: 27 July 1703 Thomas GAY of Stroud married Margret ALDRIDG There are some ALDRIDGE wills on Gloucestershire Archives searchable database, but unfortunately not one for Thomas. The ones that are on there from Minchinhampton seem to be connected with weaving and perhaps they may give you a clue as to your Thomas and his family. There is also an extracted baptism on the IGI for a Thomas ALDRIG on 21 January 1633 at Minchinhampton, father Francis which could be relevant to you. Janet > Does anyone have information on Thomas ALDRIDGE? Thomas had a daughter > Margaret who was born 6 April 1682 at Minchampton, Gloucester, but that is > all I know about Thomas & his family. Is anyone else researching this > family?
