Request Lookup Dingley of Bridgwater, Somerset

[syljun]

Several web-sites with Bridgwater - St.Mary BMD's. Lots of Dingleys - Edward, Thomas, John, Elizabeth, and many more. Earliest I found was 1674 so you have a lot of ground to cover. Good hunting, Syljun

It looks as if William and John's father was also a William Dingley born Birmingham 3rd April 1814 and died 29th November 1883. He married Mary Ann Beet 17th November 1834 at St Phillips Birmingham (from Family Search)

According to the 1851 and 1861 censuses he was a Pearl Button maker.

That means that if there was a move from Somerset to Birmingham it was before 1814.

From Family Search I think William's (1814) parents were John Dingley and Mary.

Got it! That's one of the connection I was wondering about, groom!! Wow, wish I'd found you all 4 years ago! I hope I can walk where they walked and see what they saw....one day.....

In reference to John Dingley b:1803 d:1880 in Bridgwater:

Trish,

His second marriage was to Mary Hucker nee Benington, 1856, Bristol and his father's name is Edward, right?

Is there any information on Edward available? Was he married to Mary Cock (b:1777 Bridgwater d: 1861). I suppose Edward's birthdate would be around 1777 as well but have no information on him.

I would be so grateful for any information on Edward Dingley, the father of John b:1803 and Edward b:1816.
