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

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

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?

Hello to you all

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

Linda, are you aware of this thread on Ancestry?

http://www.british-genealogy.com/forums/archive/index.php/t-23535.html

It's about Angelina.


Also this one that names Lot's parents.

I wondered if he might be in prison.

Ozi

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!
