Tidbury of Tidbury's Toll, Fort Beaufort, Cape Colony
« on: Thursday 09 February 06 12:10 GMT (UK) »

Have fairly good info on descendants of George Henry and Charles T, through NASA, personal contact, CWGC, etc. They were born 1849 & 1853 resp., Portsmouth, Hampshire, but few records found in UK.
Seek info on:
- GH & C's arrival in Cape.
- parents George and Ellen, who may not have come to Cape.
- other Tidbury family in F.Beaufort from the 1820's (Ellen T b 1821, m Wm Hry Smith 1857, F.Beaufort)
- Evered Vivian T (Death notice 1889), who does not appear in any of our family records.
- Walter T b abt 1871, , Cape. m Amy Sweetham abt 1895.
- GAD T d 1942 at El Alamein. (CWGC)
Thanks,

Updated info.
Unsubstantiated claim Geo & Ellen married st Michael's Limerick 1842. Geo Hnry & Chas born in Preston Lancs, poss Fulwood Barracks, although we have entry for Chas baptised at Portsea. The Fulwood based Queens Lancashire Rgt (47 & 81 Rgt) do not have record of Tidbury, but other rgt's also based there over the years.
Still looking for connections ZA & UK

Latest update.
Confirmed Geo & Ellen (O'Brien, b. abt 1821) married 1842 Limerick St Michael's.
1851 census has Geo and brother Chas at Fulwood barracks while Ellen, (mis-transcribed as Sidbury), is in Preston Lancs with Mary A, 1844 Ireland; Ellen, 1849 Ire; and Geo, 1850 Preston. I have not yet found any trace in England of the family in 1861, so I guess that they had left England by then. There is a death registered in 1857 of a Geo. T at Preston, so there is the possibility that our Geo died in military service (in Cape Colony perhaps).
There is also a marriage in Fort Beaufort in 1857 of Ellen Tidbury (b. 1821 Fort Beaufort Huh) to William Henry Smith, but I have been unable to find any further clue as to who they are.
Going back to the soldiers, Geo & Chas, were born in Thatcham, Berkshire of Charles T b 1800 Midgham and Ann Robbins b 1800 Thatcham, sib Hannah 1829, John 1831, William 1833, Eliza 1840, Matilda 1842.
If anyone has any further info or copies of documents, please let us know.
Thanks,
