Found them in 1841 in Cranfield, mistranscribed on Ancestry as Harridge:
William Berridge 50 Ag lab Born in Beds
Ann Berridge 50 Born in Beds
Mary Berridge 20 Lace maker Born in Beds
William Berridge 15 ag lab Born in Beds
Thomas Berridge 15 Born in Beds
Ann Clarke 20 Lace Maker NOT b in Beds
Ages over 15 in 1841 were rounded down to the nearest 5 below, so 15 covered a range of 15-19 and 20 a range of 20-24.

Still can't find a marriage of Ann Clarke and John Berridge in England. Might they have married in the US?

Kerri, your tree on Ancestry shows John and Ann as having a son John Duke Berridge in England in 1841. What's the evidence for this? I can't find anysuch baptism or birth. It looks to be an uncanny coincidence that in 1848 Ann Barage should have married Wright DUKE in Indiana.
