Hello Vanessa
We obviously have my 3xgreat grandfather Joseph Pardoe 1758 as a common ancestor. He was the father of Richard 1802 and George 1787.
Richard was the father of your rather interesting relative John Henry 1840. George was the father of William 1828 then William 1862 and my father Bill (also, of course, a William) born in 1904. As a side line I had no further information on John Henry and yours is fascinating! So hello, cousin.
My picture, taken by grandfather William, shows my father Bill surrounded by his sisters Florence Mabel (Maisie), Gertrude Elsie (Trudie), Floss Rose (Floss) and Azubah Elizabeth (Zu).
As far as I can tell the Pardoe line goes back further, though the further back you go the less sure you can be without too much being available.
My research suggests:
Joseph Pardoe 1758 married Jane Brook 1761 in 1781 and had 12 children, including our Richard and George.
Thomas Pardoe 1724 married Mary Farmer 1722 in 1744 and they had 7 children including the above Joseph 1758
Joseph Pardoe ? married Sarah Perks ? in 1716 and had 4 children including the above Thomas 1724.
That's as far back as I can go. I can give you the source references if you want to check them out yourself.
I also see that Linell has John Pardoe 1753, the son of George Pardoe and Elizabeth Brooks. My gg grandfather George 1787, married to Jemima Wooldridge 1786, had a son George (also a Lye butcher) in 1815. This must be the same George as yours, Linell, because he married Elizabeth Brookes 1824 in 1845 and they had 5 children including John Brookes Pardoe in 1853.
John Brookes Pardoe married Elizabeth Bullingham 1853 in 1873 and the line continues down from there.
I hope the names followed by birthdate make sense to everyone - its the only way I can keep track of the different ancestors with the same first names.
Let me know your thoughts on this!
