Hi,
I am connected to the Partridge's via my maternal line.
My 2x Great Grandfather was William Partridge, b. 1785 d. 1852, Gun & Lock Smith of Darlaston, m. 1. Elizabeth Samson 19 Nov 1808. b. 1788 d. 1823. m.2 Nancy Pew 9 Nov 1823, b. 1803 d. 1863.
William Had a very large family by today's standards, totalling 10 children.
From m.1

I hope the above is of interest to you, I realise that some of the detail above my conflict with some of those who have contacted you previously. I too also have many supporting documents, Census, B,M,D's, probate and some Christening/Baptism records.
I would be most grateful to hear if you or anyone else who may have any information regarding furthering the knowledge of the family. My aim would, if its possible link the Partridge's to those of the Wishanger Manor in Wiltshire, dating back to the 11 hundreds.
Regards
Paul.
