sorry folks. been on the school run AND the school xmas fayre. nightmare. ok. so the info i have is james gregory richards married to sarah. he was born is sussex occupation a shoemaker. his son john married eliza keeble born in woodbridge suffolk. will sort through all the posts in a mo. there are so many - i didnt expect this at all. you are all stars. but does anyone have access to a census to find me an address in woodbridge for eliza keeble. i am hoping that she must have been on at least one census before they moved to london??thanks again.xx

the posting above that mentions hampden place is correct. that is the address of john richards on his marriage cert. because of the names of johns siblings, it also means that posting that mentions braithwaite place, is also correct.xxxx

wonder where in sussex he was born?? as i now live in susex.

Dorothy

If you take the time to read - and digest - ALL the info, you will learn that you have been working with the WRONG info

The FATHER was born in DEVON......and was a BAKER.

the address on john and eliza wedding certificate gives his address as hampden street, which ties in with one of the postings above, with james, married to sarah and a shoemaker. i already have sarah as his wifes name.

or am i going bananas?????

have finally had a chance to read through all of it without ANY interuptions and yes, it is indeed me going bananas. the hampden street info is definately right. purely because of the address on the wedding cert. now, that has thrown me into complete disarray - all the stuff for them on my tree is wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!! but so glad to have found that out. will change it all forthwith and my thanks go out to you all.xxx

Oh thank goodness!!!! I thought I'd have to take your bananas away and explain it step-by-step!! (grin)

put up a further post on here but it hasnt appeared so doing it again. this looking for the information has all come about because my daughter has recently moved from kent to ipswich, very close to woodbridge. and her partner, whose family all come from around that way, thinks his grand mother was a keeble. so i started rooting around. a friend got me the marriage cert and it all went from there. an address for eliza keeble in woodbridge would be the icing on the cake. however, now i have an evening of changing everything i have on my tree on line. its been some time since i have done any work on this and cant even remember where i got the original info that i have, from. couldnt have done it without you.xxxx

She is the only child not born in Suffolk

Do you have the names of the witnesses to Eliza's marriage?

The one I posted for 1851 is still in Ipswich with all the family in 1861...her occupation is Milliner

thats odd. previous census says that she was born in woodbridge, suffolk. witnesses are: Thomas Gates (could be Yates). and M.Buckeridge. no addresses for those census??

I'm not seeing anyone either.

Just a note- the M Buckeridge witness is,I think, Martha Buckeridge who is described in 1871 as a Vestrywoman at a church. Her name pops up quite often.

Maureen

all the work i have done and its all wrong!!!!!!!!!!!! that means the next generation is wrong also. but thats really odd because some of the people and dates, i know are right. one of the girls marrying frederick barber. louisa richards marrying arthur root. i knew these people when they were very old and i was very young.

and i know these are right because the address they all lived at, is the address my dad was born at. his mum was a richards.

No,no,Dorothy,you've got it right from John's marriage onward. You'd just gotten the earlier generations wrong.
