Ancestors of Thomas Caddick b. circa 1766
« on: Friday 02 December 11 17:35 GMT (UK) »
I would be so grateful if anyone could trace the parents of my ancestor above or his wife.  The facts I have to date are: he married Mary Harris in Oldswinford Worcsestershire on 22nd March 1792. Mary was born circa 1766  (Thomas' birth year is only a guess based on her). They had a son Thomas born 1794 Sedgley Staffordshire and who died 12th April 1861 West Bromwich.

Thank you

Hi there

familysearch.org have this parish register extract for a baptism for Thomas Caddick Old Swinford 30 Aug 1755 parents Thomas Caddick and Priscilla. It's a bit earlier than you were expecting given Mary's estimated birth year but it's possible he may have been married before?

Have a look at the site as there are 6 possible baptisms for a Mary Harris in Old Swinford between 1756 and 1769, might take you a while to narrow down which one might be yours of course.

Shirl
North,Noble,Harrison,Seller - North Riding Yorks parishes
Brown,Brooks,Watson - Belper/Duffield Derbys
Hole - Ashover Derbys
Webb, Flavell, Mason - Staffs (mainly Sedgley)
Bevan,Beamond - Chirbury Shropshire
Longridge - Northumberland/Durham
Freeman - Hampshire, Oxfordshire,Sussex
Smith - Derbyshire and Yorkshire
Whitehead - Yorkshire
Morris - St Pancras Yorkshire etc

Thank you so much Shirl,

I'll look into it and let you know how I get on as soon as I have anything more definite.

Your help is much appreciated!

Julie

Hi again,

I've just looked into all the info. If Thomas' parents were Thomas and Priscilla (Stevens), he had 3 siblings: Priscilla bp. 22.10.1758; Ann Hopkins bp. 11.03.1752 and Nancy bp. 13.02.1757. The trouble is I just can't find a link after researching them. As for mary Harris, I found the 6 baptisms but again am stuck. I'll see if I can get a copy of the church records for St Mary's Old Swinford  - there may be more detail there.

Again, many thanks for your trouble.

Julie
