George Richings

[ruthvirr]

Hi

I'M currently investigating my Richings side of the family.. MY GG Grandfather was George Richings B 1815 D 1868 in Martley.. He was resident in Winchcombe. He married Eliza (Elizabeth) Baugh on 10th March 1844.. He is documented as being widowed. However, I cannot find a previous marriage for him!!

Regards
Ruth

Don't think George married to Eleanor is the correct George as they are together on 1851 census when "your" George is with Eliza

I am wondering if Eliza Baugh was related to George's first wife Charlotte baugh???

Will investigate further

It seems a strong possibility Charlotte & Eliza Baugh were sisters -they both have father's named William

Marriage
15 Oct 1839
St Peter leckhampton
George Richings father William Richings
Charlotte Baugh father William Baugh

10 Mar 1844

Eliza Baugh father William Baugh

I can't find Eliza as Elizabeth -where did you find that information??

Hi Suz

I also thought that there was a possibility that Charlotte and Eliza were sisters.. I got 'Elizabeth' from someone else's tree on Ancestry!!

Couldn't find a death documented for Charlotte.. must have another look.
I think that George and Charlotte had a daughter, Francis born about 1841.

Many thanks

It looks like George and Charlotte has a son Cornelius age 4 in 1841 and Fanny age 10mths in 1841

Possibly Charlotte was George's 2nd wife?

so it looks like George married Mary Blower in 1835 (previously posted bu Capetown)
they had a son Cornelius

Mary must have died young

George Married Charlotte Baugh in 1839
They had a daughter fanny in 1840

Charlotte died and George married Eliza Baugh and had lots of children
