Researching my BURRIDGE family history in Newfoundland. My gg-grandparents were John BURRIDGE and Maria WARREN BURRIDGE married 04/14/1859 in St. John's, Newfoundland. Children: Theodore Francis John b: 9/5/1861 Cyprian Halse m: Julia HANEBURY -g-grandparents Heber Edward Warren BURRIDGE Edith Elizabeth Coyle BURRIDGE Ernest W. BURRIDGE Henrietta Frances Jane Colton BURRIDGE John Harold BURRIDGE b: 1872 d: 10/15/1894 Donald Morrison BURRIDGE Miriam Leah BURRIDGE The children were all baptised in St. Mary's Anglican Church in St. John's, Newfoundland. I have been searching, to no avail, for the parents of John. John and sons Cyprian and Ernest were stone masons by trade. In fact this tradition continued with my grandfather Hubert, father and two of my three uncles. My grandparents Hubert Frederick and Martha Fogwill came to the US (NewYork City) in 1927. The family has little to no information on our BURRIDGE family in Newfoundland other than they came from England originally. Any information anyone can provide is greatly appreciated.
