Hello listers am reposting names. Last time I did this I had the Badtrans virus so I apologise if I infected anyone--I didn't know it, but it had come from a "trusted" source. Les Buckle, your address had an underscore before it tonight when I checked my emails, which indicates you may have this virus.

Names:

Robert Bridges (born BSt Ed 1872) married Rose Phillips 1898 at Hendon, London, (daughter of Algenon Phillips dec'd, she had sister Kate as far as I know)--Would love to know about the Phillips family?

Also would like to know what happened to Thomas Bridges (Robert's brother) born 1870 at B St Ed (possibly lived in the Bristol area in 1955).

The brothers had a sister, Elizabeth born in 1874, but I think she may have died as a 2 year old.

Robert and Thomas' father was Arthur James Bridges (born 1849 in Fornham St Martin, died Bury St. Ed 1920 (married Elizabeth Todd in 1869). Does anyone know if he had siblings?? Arthur's father was James Bridges (married to Elizabeth Foreman).

James Bridges appears to be one of eight children belonging to James Bridges and Ann Beales. James was born christened on 7 January 1816. Can anyone confirm that I have the correct family??

The other children were George (illegitimate), Thomas, Michael, Louisa, Eliza, Ann Elizabeth, Susannah and Martha.

I am pretty sure that i have the right family as Thomas and Ann Elizabeth were witnesses to the marriage of James in 1849.

Love to hear from someone.

Thanks
