There is a Lot Wooldridge showing on the 1860 US census in Illinois but I dont have access to view. Maybe somebody could check passenger lists?

EDIT: Maybe not, he appears to be there in preceding and following census'

hi,

There's is a record of a Lot dying in 1890 @ the ripe old age of 82


Transcription Record
Name Lot Wooldridge
Year of Registration 1890
Quarter of Registration Apr-May-Jun
Registration District Shaftesbury
Registration County Dorset
Age at Death: 82
Volume Number 5A
Volume Page 128

Is it possible that he could be a patient in a lunatic asylum, under the initials L W?


I have looked, and there about 2 dozen on the 1861 on ancestry!





sylvia

I wondered if he might be in prison.

Hello to you all

- you have got the right family and Lot - I have been tracking my family down for many years now so I have seen the two threads -

You have "found" two more Wooldridge's i.e. William Henry and Sarah Ann.

Since starting on this branch I know Lot had a son Charles Wooldridge (1839) who married Anna emily Burb(b)ridge - they had a son William C Wooldridge (1864) - having a search yeaterday I found the following:-
WCW married Ellen Blackmore in 1887. WCW and E had 2 boys James Wooldridge and Harold Norwman Wooldridge. Harold died two years old but James married a Edith Mary ? in ?. I have found one daughter Muriel Elain Wooldridge 1924 - By now this brnach have moved to Saffron Wladen Essex - now I need tofind out if there were more children and if so who are they and who did they marry etc.

Thanks again for all your help - I would love to find my cousins

Tant Edith M Wooldridge Saffron W. 4a 1834
Wooldridge James W Tant Saffron W. 4a 1834

This is the only child I can find for them (which you already know):

hello again

thanks for all the help from everybody

Can some advise who the bride is on the following Wooldridge reference please

I think I am doing things right by going backwards but can only do it one step at a time to find the link

Henry Wooldridge 1885 4th Q Shaftesbury 5a461

I hope it will be Rachel if not another Wooldridge branch
thanks

Linda

Still can't find Henry Wooldridge on 1881 Census

In 1881 Lot is a widower born Donhead (from find my past).

The marriage Henry Wooldridge 1885 4th Q Shaftesbury 5a461 is on free BMD.



Have you consulted the online parish clerks (OPCs) for Dorset and Wiltshire parishes?

This is the 1885 marriage:

Surname First name(s) District Vol Page
Marriages Dec 1885
GRAY Rachel Shaftesbury 5a 461
Wooldridge Henry Williams Shaftesbury 5a 461

(Puzzled how you couldn't see Rachel?)

Here's some further detail:


Dorset, England, Marriages and Banns, 1813-1921

Name: Henry Williams Wooldridge - a baker
Birth Year: abt 1862
Age: 23
Marriage or Bann Date: 20 Dec 1885
Parish: Shaftesbury
Spouse's Name: Rachell Gray, age 23
Spouse's Father's Name: Henry Gray < Fishmonger

Henry Williams' father's name has been written into the margin as "Henry Charles William Wooldridge" - it appears his name hadn't been provided when the banns were originally read.

Witnesses: Martha Ann Gray & Alfred T Stainer
