Title: Baptism - George KERRIDGE of Eyke c1705
Post by: sak on Tuesday 10 March 09 21:23 GMT (UK)

I am looking for a baptism for a George Kerridge  B 1705C. He married Mary Pierce in 1730/1 in Bredfield. The marriage entry says they are of Eyke but there is no baptism for them there. Can anyone help?

I believe Mary was a widow, so you may need to look earlier for George's baptism
See below from Archdeaconry of Suffolk Marriage Licences - 1613-1750 from which I transcribed Kerridge entries at the Society of Genealogy, London a few years ago

1730/1 Mar 4   George KERRIDGE & Mary PIERCE, wid, both of Eyke

Although it does not say George was a widower, it is interesting to see in the National Burial Index that on 28 Dec 1730 a Mary KERRIDGE was buried at Eyke, All Saints
