Looking for William Biddiss and Harriet Seeley
« on: Sunday 12 February 23 03:46 GMT (UK) »
Hi, I had so much help on my last post about this family I am back again. Thank you to all those that gave a helping hand, it was much appreciated. I ended up rebuilding my tree just by going on the direct line. My computer program brought up an old tree I had done in the late 1990s and it just about matched what you gave me.
Background information here; https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=866183.0
I am now looking for the family of William Biddiss and Harriet Seeley.
William was the son of William Biddiss and Eleanor Perry.
William was born on 20 September 1812 in Southwark. He married Harriet in December 1833.
I can not find the marriage. I have nothing on Harriet.
Their children were
William b 9th of March 1832
Saint Mary Newington, Surrey 1834
Oct 19th Born 9th March 1832 No 560
William son of William & Harriet Biddiss
living at Paragon Row
Father a Twine Spinner.
Francis b 26 April 1834
Saint Mary Newington, Surrey 1834
Oct 19th, 1834  Born 26 April 1834 No 561
Francis son of William & Harriet Biddiss
living at Paragon Row
Father a Twine Spinner
John b 10 July 1837 ( Found on F.S.) d 1838 S quarter St Mary Newington ( found on GRO)
Sarah b 1839 (BIDDISS, SARAH       SEALEY 
GRO Reference: 1839  S Quarter in ST MARY NEWINGTON )
I found the family in 1841  Pg 14, piece/ Folio 1085/48  Ann Street Southwark, Surrey ( F.S).
The only children on the census were William aged 9 and Sarah aged 2
1851 has the same family members but now living at Austins Rope Ground Bermondsey Pg 37 Piece/Folio 1562/ 214
Any information on this family would be greatly appreciated. Even where to start looking would be good.
Carol

So they married 9 months after the first son was born in 1832.
Thank you for the marriage.

"William was the son of William Biddiss and Eleanor Perry.
William was born on 20 September 1812 in Southwark. "

How have you identified William and Eleanor to be the parents?

Using Ancestry London BDM I am not seeing this.
