Looking for any info for a Benjamin Etheridge 1769
« on: Sunday 03 January 16 15:58 GMT (UK) »
Hi I'm new to all this so hope I'm in the right place,

Ive been doing my family tree on Ancestry and Ive come to a dead end on a Benjamin Etheridge Born 1769 Baptism Date 8 Jul 1770 Mother:   Sarah Etheridge, maybe,Ive not found much info on Sarah Ive found a couple of records on her one said she is Sarah Etheridge born maybe 1742,i did find a parish record but it just says Sarah no surname but cant find his Father name.
Any info or help would be very welcome regards Daniel Etheridge.

If your Benjamin is the one christened in Maisemore it says base born son of Sarah Etheridge. In other words he was illegitimate.

There was a Sarah christened in 1746 and one in 1742 so you have to decide which one. There was also a Benjamin Etheridge buried aged 94 in 1767 at Maisemore who could well be a connection. You may need to research both sarah's and see if there are family names that tie in with your Benjamin's family.
