Joseph Goodridge
« on: Sunday 22 May 22 06:36 BST (UK) »
I am looking into the Goodridge Family.  In particular Joseph Goodridge.  He was born around 1808 (according the census) in Plymouth.  He married Sarah Rogers in 1833 by banns (Sarah is also another brick wall for another day).

They had at least 7 children that i could find, including my 4th great grandfather William Joseph (or just Joseph) Goodridge.  He was a Porter from what i can gather.

I am struggling to find any birth records on Joseph around 1808.  I have looked at all the usual places.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 From FindMyPast:
Plymouth ,St Andrew's church has a baptism on 26 Dec 1808:
"Jos.h Skinner son of Jos.h and Mary Goodridge". It has been transcribed  as "Josh Skinner".

In the later census records, Joseph , born 1808 , is still in the parish of St Andrew's.

Marriage between Joseph Goodridge and Mary Skinner at St Andrew's 16 April 1800.
