Blackwell/Bridgeman marriage 1810
« on: Sunday 28 October 18 07:21 GMT (UK) »
Sarah Blackwell married Robert Bridgeman 2 August 1810 Burwell Cambridge, is she the daughter of
John Blackwell and Sarah Rogers baptized 1 December 1793.

I also have a Robert Bridgeman who marries a Sarah Blackwell 4 October 1790 Burwell, who would her parents be?

Any thoughts welcome

Have you seen this death notice -
"BRIDGEMAN - At Burwell, on the 24th instant, Sarah, wife of the late Robert Bridgeman, in her 76th year."
Cambridge Independent Press, Saturday, March 31, 1860 pg 8

So Sarah born c1784?

Although ... now I see there are 2 Robert and Sarah BRIDGEMAN families in Burwell in the 1841 around the same age. Which family is yours? (Children: John, Grace and Sarah, at Parsonage House; or with children Charles, William and Sarah Ann)

The Robert Bridgeman in my line married Sarah Blackwell 4 October 1790 she died 1793 after two children Sarah 1791 and Robert 1793, so her death probably due to childbirth complications.
Robert Bridgeman married second Susanna Casburn 11 March 1795.
I am guessing Susanna died 1824 aged 48 and Robert 1808.

I haven't been able to find out what happened to Sarah 1791 from the first marriage, of the seven children found of the second marriage only William lives to age 77 the others died In infancy or in their twenties.
The Bridgeman families all seem to name their children the same so there are a lot of Robert Bridgeman's. Wills found re Bridgeman have not related to my line.

Just trying to find out who Sarah Blackwells parents are?

This bap is possibly more right for the 1790 marriage, though a little young..

Cambs FHS, Burwell:
3 Jan 1773 Sarah Blackwell, d/o John & Sarah, bap.

If you haven't seen the witnesses for the 1790 marriage.. Philip Parr & Mary Bridgeman.

Hope this helps

Given this marriage, I wonder if Sarah b. 1773 is the dau of John & Sarah Rogers.

Burwell PR:
23 Feb 1772 John Blackwell & Sarah Rogers botp, marr.

Thank you for the witnesses to the 1790 marriage.
This is such a confusing family.

I have question mark against the Sarah 1773 as I have another daughter Sarah born 1793 same family.

 Thanks for the death notice, if my notes are right that would be the Sarah nee Blackwell who married 1810 to Robert Bridgeman he was a sawyer.

The other Robert was a farmer.

I'm a bit late with this but only just come across this site. My researches show that Sarah Blackwell, baptised 01 Dec 1793, was the eleventh child baptised to John Blackwell and Sarah Rogers. They were both from Burwell and had married there on 25 Feb 1772. Their first child was also Sarah, baptised on 03 Jan 1773.
 Sarah #1 (1773) married Robert Bridgeman on 04 Oct 1790 in Burwell. He was son of John and Grace Casburn. They had two children, Sarah, bapt 11 Sep 1791 and Robert bapt 01 Dec 1793. Sarah #1 died around the birth of Robert, and was buried on 11 Sep 1793. Husband Robert remarried Susanna Casburn in Burwell on 11 Mar 1795. As you already know, only one son of theirs survived young adulthood - William.
Robert and Sarah #1's son Robert (1793) married Mary Iverson on 31 Dec 1812. They had six children and after her death in 1833 Robert married Sarah Scott on 21 Oct 1833. It is this Sarah that died in Burwell on 24 Mar 1860 aged 76 (See Maddyr52).
So, John Blackwell and Sarah Rogers were still adding to their family when their first daughter Sarah #1 died. Not unusual then for them to call their late 1793 newborn Sarah too (Sarah #2)
My researches show that Sarah #2 married another Robert Bridgeman in Burwell on 02 Aug 1810. He was son of John Bridgeman and Mary Layton. John, bapt 1768 was elder brother of Robert, bapt 1769.
Hope this is helpful !GFHB
