Hi,

I'm trying to track down some information regarding a Harridge travelling from Essex (Canvey Island area I think) to Ceylon in the early 1800s I believe. I have some sketchy information about a Peter Harridge belonging to the 19th Regiment Light Dragoons and being stationed in Ceylon in 1812 but this is unconfirmed.

There is alot of information regarding Crisp M Harridge and family but I'm not sure if the person I'm looking for is releated somehow.

Essentially I'm looking for the ancestors of W(illiam?) Harridge (married Emma in Ceylon) who then had Edgar Clarence Harridge. Edgar's daughter Iris was then born in 1914.

I do have contacts in Sri Lanka but still it's proving difficult to make a match.

Hope someone can help.

Nathan.

Hi,

Can someone provide an further information on Nellie Anderson and Harry/Henry Striethorst's marriage?

This is the information I have so far from Family Search.

Groom's Mother's Name: Emma Emerick
Bride's Name: Nellie Anderson
Bride's Age: 18
Bride's Birth Date: 1896
Bride's Birthplace: North Seaton Colliery, England
Bride's Marital Status: Spinster
Bride's Residence:
Bride's Father's Name: George Anderson
Bride's Mother's Name: Ellen Swan
Film Number: 1983706
Digital Folder Number: 4400861
Image Number: 1259
BC Archives Film Number: B11378
Registration Number: 1259

BC Archives has it listed here also:

http://search.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/sn-28D51AA/view/Genealogy/find%2Bnellie%20anderson%2B%2B%2B%2B/2


I know that this is already enough info to satisfy most but what I'm particularly interested in is how long she was in Canada for at the time she was married. Was this recorded on Canadian marriage records back in 1914?

Many thanks,

Nathan.

Hi there,

My first cousin twice removed was a Raymond Conrad Striethorst born BC. His father was Henry/Harry Striethorst and his uncle was William Striethorst.

I'm currently researching the brothers William and Henry. I have located them on the 1901 Census here - http://automatedgenealogy.com/census/SurnameList.jsp?surname=striethorst&districtId=3&desc=Search+province+of+British+Columbia+in+the+1901+Census+of+Canada+records+for+surname&Go=Go

and also the marriages here - http://search.bcarchives.gov.bc.ca/sn-198EA00/query/Marriages/find-adv%2B%20surname%3D%28striethorst%29%20%2B%2B%2B%2B

Nellie Anderson who married Henry/Harry is my great grand aunt.

Now, according to the BCarchives marriage records, William Striethorst married Amy Dwyer in 1920.

I stumbled upon these records only today saying that he married Eliza Wilkinson.

Father William: http://www.geni.com/genealogy/people/William-Striethorst/6000000007540971280

Son Conrad (mother Eliza) http://www.geni.com/genealogy/people/Conrad-Striethorst/6000000007540954582

Mother Eliza (married James Johnson???) http://www.geni.com/genealogy/people/Eliza-Wilkinson/6000000007540934212



I'm not sure if anyone can clarify any of this. I'm sure I can rely on the BC Archives as being accurate, but I'm not sure about these other records (or maybe I'm just confused)

Many Thanks,

Nathan

Hi All,

I have a George Anderson born 1872 marrying a George Ellen Swan born 1872 in Woodhorn.

The Swan side I have sorted.

My 1901 census of the family - RG13/4837 Pg 10 has George being born in Northumberland, Sleekburn.

I purchased George and George Ellen's marriage certificate from the GRO (married 9th July 1896, Woodhorn). It states that George's father was Alexander Anderson, no age or birthplace.

I had mistakenly placed George Anderson's father as another George Anderson from the area but the marriage certificate clearly states Alexander.

Now I'm on the trail of Alexander Anderson with son George born 1872.

I've tracked down an Alexander Anderson in both 1891 and 1881 census'. Both have a George Anderson born 1872. He was born 1852 in Seghill and he married Mary Ann born Durham 1848.

1881 - RG11/5119 Pg 31
1891 - RG12/4260 Pg 37

Can someone with a better knowledge of the areas provide some help making this link? The birthplaces from 1881-1901 for the 1872 George Anderson change from Bedlington to Barrington to Sleekburn.

Many thanks.

Nathan.

Hi All,

I have a 1911 census record that states the address as Deuchan Terrace, Hirst, Ashington. I took a look here http://gis.durham.gov.uk/website/interMAP/viewer.htm but had some issues searching.

Can anyone find this address?

Thanks.
