Dorset / Squibb Family (St Mary's Bridport?)
« on: Tuesday 14 August 07 23:55 BST (UK) »
I am looking for a James Squib(b) born about 1792 in Bridport Devon.
I have checked the IGI without success. Records for Bridport consist of i) New Meeting Barrack Street-Independent, ii) Presbyterian and iii) Wesleyan Methodist.
The Parish Records for St Mary's Bridport do not appear to be available to the public, but I believe there may be Bishop's Transcripts. If anyone has access to these and could do a look up that would be great.
For the record, I have his marriage to Elizabeth Winlow in 1812 Oct 4 at St Hilda South Shields. He is described as a Mariner. He had 6 children (Robert 1813, John 1816, Mary Ann 1819, Elizabeth 1822, Suzanne 1824 and James 1828). He is recorded in the 1851 census as a Pauper, born in Bridport, aged 58 years.
Any comments would be appreciated. This is the first time of posting a message on the board! I am a novice at rootschat.
