Nepolian Boneparte Riddle
« on: Wednesday 04 November 09 12:12 UTC (UK) »
Hello as I was searching for a Riddle ancestor in South Shields I came across this one,
Nepolian Boneparte Riddle son of William and Margaret christened St Hilda's 1826, on another site his middle name is given as Boneycarte, poor boy,I probably have no link to him at all but would be interested if any one can find any further details on him.
I haven't found him in any census and wondered if he changed his name,
Thankyou Gillian

the question has to be would you change your name to something a bit less long windered i would.one of my rellies either went by his 1st or his middle name or both it changed in 3 different census.so as you say may be boney decided to have a change of name.

I would definitely change it if my parents had named me like this,I found it quite amusing that they chose the name ,and will research just to see if he was named for a particular reason,if possible,I think a trip over to the North East might be the easier option with this man,
thankyou,

I think he changed his name to William after his father.  Smiley

In 1841 census there is only one William and Margaret Riddle in South Shields, they have a 14 yr old son William plus other children.

Although I can find the baptism for Napoleon with parents William & Margaret, I can't see one for a William with those parents
