Stredder

[FAB Fiona]

Hi Lincolnshire

I'm trying to trace a William Smith Stredder, who may or may not have come originally from Lincolnshire.  He ended up in the Birkenhead/Liverpool area, but there is no trace of him in the IGI although there are plenty of other Stredders there - all from Lincolnshire!

William Smith Stredder married Margaret Sparks, probably from Cheshire, and he called one of his children Amelia.  'Amelia Stredder' seems to be pretty common amongst the Lincolnshire Stredders, so I'm hoping...

Hi Fiona

It would help with your enquiry if we had a time period to help us.

Have you found them in any of the census?

Any extra info, no matter how small, helps in the search.

What an ommission!

William Smith Stredder and Margaret Sparks' eldest son was born in about 1836 or so (Walter Stredder, he's on the IGI) and was born in Liverpool/Birkenhead.  

In the 1851 census, they already had 5 children at least, so my best guess is that William Smith Stredder would have been born in Lincolnshire in 1810-1815 or so.
