The Souldrop monumental inscriptions record a William F Partridge 1872 - 1931, & along side is Florence Amelia Partridge 1879 - 1961.
I have found a marriage index of William F to Florence A Woods in Oct-Dec quarter 1914 at Bedford RD vol 3b page 811.
I have found Florence Amelia Woods born Souldrop, daughter to Charles & Jane Woods on the 1881/1891/1901 censuses, but not a William F Partridge. However not to far away from the Woods family is George & Susannah (ne Headland) Partridge, but as far as I know they did not have a William ?
Any help or ideas welcome
Regards John

William Frederick is the only entry on IGI baptism to the William and Emily. Other entries at Bozeat to parents John & Emily exist for John Warren 1861, Albert 1863, Christiana 1870; and all these names appear in censuses with the John & Emily you found.
Interesting to see that wife Emily was born 1840 Sharnbrook Beds.
There is FreeBMD marriage index with John Partridge & Emily Warner in Oct/Dec 1860 at Wellingborough (3b/300)

yes Heywood, I do think it is him. I have posted a query on the Northants board re the John & Emily marriage. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks to Sandy, John Partridge, age 18 married Emily Warner, age 20, on 18 Nov 1860 at Bozeat
I'd now like to check out the Souldrop marriages for William & Florence in 1914 to see the other information.

The Oct/Dec 1914 Bedford RD marriage of William P to Florence Amelia was not in Souldrop, Knotting, Sharnbrook or Bletsoe. I will just have to keep looking.
Both the burial entries say their abode was Ringstead. Frederick buried 11 APR 1931 age 53? (very scribbled), Amelia buried 2 DEC 1961 age 81

hey, hey, heywood - I'm trying to save myself £7.00 - I am not too bothered
But why if they both living in Ringstead did they wish to be buried in Souldrop ?

That's very good Heywood; looking at the plan of the monuments when the inscriptions came from, the Partridge's plot is only 2 up from Florence's parents Charles & Jane Woods buried 1931 & 1911 respectively.
