Part 721am - Smith McCullogh Genealogy - 1801 Bond of Marriage - GGGGG-Grandparents Thomas and Mary (née Marsingale) Aldridge - York, England

Good Day,

Following up to Part 653am I continue the search and research of the genealogy of the Aldridge Family Line.



I have been able to discover the 30 May 1801 Bond of Marriage of 5-times great-grandparents Thomas and Mary (née Marsingale) Aldridge. From what I read the Marriage took place "in the Minster in Beverley Parish".

The following are images of the two pages as downloaded from Item 1 of the microfilm FHL [1469549] Marriage Bonds and Allegations for the Diocese of York, 1618-1887.

And my transcription... (The English teacher of my past life comes to fore when I found two published typeset typos.)

Part 690am – Smith McCullogh Genealogy – Could Marsingate Be Marsingale? – GGGG-Grandmother Mary (née Marsinga?e) Aldridge

Good Day

Continuing from Part 653am and my trek with the genealogy of the Aldridge Family Line, I have discovered a possibility that gggg-grandmother Mary Aldridge’s maiden name may have been Marsingale. This is a wee bit different from the Marsingate of which I first transcribed from the 1 June 1801 Marriage Registration.

From a search through Family Search.org I discovered an indexed entry for a Marriage dated 30 May 1801 of Thomas Aldridge and Mary Marsingale.

There is no image of the entry but the citation and source refers to the microfilm collection of Marriage bonds and allegations for the Diocese of York, 1618-1887, Church of England. The microfilm is on order from Salt Lake City.

I have been searching, via the Internet for the surname Marsingate and the pickings of connections are few and far between. Even though there is only a two-day discrepancy between the two sources 1 June versus 30 May, and the surname Marsingate versus Marsingale, there are considerable similaries that would lead me to believe that these two bits of information and data are specific to the same event – the 1801 Marriage of gggg-grandparents Thomas and Mary Aldridge.

Note, too, that the year indexed as gggg-grandmother Mary (née Marsingale) Aldridge is entered at 1780. This is a fair date provided.

I have also tweaked and sharpened my Aldridge Descendant Chart, as follows.

Now to wait for the actual FHL microfilm to compare the two documents.

Part 681mac – Smith McCullogh Genealogy – Updated McCullogh / Aldridge / Christie Descendant Chart

Good Day,

I am working in my area of genealogy to update a number of my Descendant Charts. As they continue to grow I have a number of options, including splitting them into individual Family Lines. But it is sometimes more conducive to been able to visualize as much detail on one presentation. It is certainly better than having to flip from image to image, albeit, page to page…

The only problem with the ever-expanding Descendant Charts and fitting them onto one page, aka computer screen is that the text and details get smaller and smaller.

Or one could find a powerful magnifying glass. And so I try to create an image that is a crisp and clear as possible, without creating a memory hog image.

The above inserted image is my latest rendition of my McCullogh / Aldridge / Christie Descendant Chart. The image is a PNG formatted image, and all-things-being-equal it is easier to view than the previous JPG image.

I will be adding this Descendant Chart to the McCullogh drop down menu at the top of the page of A Genealogy Hunt.

And thanks Ken.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions, comments, ideas, and thoughts.

Part 653am – Smith McCullogh Genealogy – 1801 Marriage Registration – GGGG-Grandparents Thomas and Mary (née Marsingate) Aldridge

Good Day,

Following up from the transcription of the Births and/or Christening Registers of St. John and St. Martin in Beverley, Yorkshire, England, see Part 651a, I thought I would check to see if there may be the equivalent of a Marriage Register.

I never know what direction I may be headed or which path I will follow in this Genealogy thing and quest. And sure enough I located a microfiche which displays the Computer Printout of the transcribed work of the Marriage Registers for Beverley, St. John and St. Martin BTS, Yorks, Eng 1713 to 1837. This microfiche is FHL [6910854].

Following the information, as provided on the Births and Christenings Registers transcription, that the same parents of the 12 Aldridge children/offspring were Thomas Aldridge and Mary, I discovered a 1 Jun 1801 Thomas Aldridge and Mary Marsingate entry.

Using my iPhone I was able to take a copy of the Computer Printout and download the page image. Here is the adjusted image.

My transcription –

Beverley, St. John And St. Martin BTS, Yorks, Eng 1713 To 1837

Marriages

Surname – Aldridge
Marr.(iage) Date – 1 Jun 1801
Given Name – Thomas
Rel(ationship) – H
Spouse/Parents – Mary Marsingate
Ages –

There are two other Aldridge Marriages registrations: 31 Jul 1797 – Hannah Aldridge and Thomas Crabtree; and 24 Aug 1809 – John Aldridge and Mary Robinson. My immediate thought is that there may be a filial relationship between Hannah and John to gggg-grandfather Thomas Aldridge.

There are no earlier indicated Aldridge Marriages that could be construed as a possible parental connection to gggg-grandfather Thomas. All-things-being-equal, the thought is conceivable that gggg-grandfather Thomas’ parents came to Beverley from elsewhere. On the Birth and Christening Register there is a listing for one Thomas Aldridge, son of Thomas Aldridge dated 17 January 1779. (See Part 651a.) Could this be the correct association? Need to check that out.

And now to continue my search and research.

Enjoy,

Part 652acm – Smith McCullogh Genealogy – Three New Descendant Charts – McCullogh, Aldridge, and Christie

Burrowed in my house on this gorgeous breezy, albeit windy day, in sunny Tampa, I am closeting myself away from the floating, yellow microbes of the latest pollen assault. I feel claustrophobic, but my eyes, my nose, and my throat, and my diaphragm sort-of thank me for the consideration.

So what do I do cooped up, sans air frais… I attack my PC with the gusto of a genealogy search and rescue mission.

As promised, previously, and due to the expansion of the McCullogh/Aldridge/Christie Descendant Chart I have attempted to re-created three separate new and singular Family Line Charts…

McCullogh Descendant Chart –

Aldridge Descendant Chart –

Christie Descendant Chart –

These should now all be able to be accessed under the top McCullogh label, just under the “t” in the A Genealogy Hunt title at the top of each page.

I am now working on a Trefry Descendant Chart which should expand JK’s maternal line and lineage.

Stay tuned,

Enjoy,

Part 651a – Smith McCullogh Genealogy – GGGG-Grandparents Thomas and Mary Aldridge – 12 Children

Good Day,

YES, the pollen count is high… Just ask my eyes, ask my nose. Deadened ears by sonic-choos. See the boxes of Kleenex in every room of this house. And two more months of this cranial hell.

Today I continue my focus on the genealogy and construction of the ancestry of the Aldridge Family line.

Following the lead from the 1851 England Census, see Part 650a,on which it is enumerated that JK’s great-great-great-grandfather Thomas Aldridge was born in “Yorkshire Beverly”. I discovered a microfiche, FHL [6910853] with included extractions from microfilm copies of Bishop’s Transcripts from microfilms FHL [0919386-0919387; 0919421 Item 1].

Here is a generation of my updated McCullogh / Aldridge / Christie Descendant Chart. Shortly, and due to the development and expansion of data and information, I may have to sub-divide the one into multiple Charts.

All-things-being-equal there are three Thomas Aldridges; a father, and two sons christened 29 Sep 1809 and 24 Jun 1815, respectively. There are actually a total of 12 children attributed to the parents, gggg-grandparents Thomas and Mary Aldridge. As two of the sons are both named Thomas I would venture a guess, based on my research experience, that the elder Thomas may have passed away in infancy, and that the second Thomas was given the name Thomas in his stead. The second Thomas is who I believe may be JK’s ggg-grandfather.

It can be deduced that JK’s gggg-grandparents may have been Thomas and Mary Aldridge, the identified parents of the 12 Aldridge children.

I have inserted a downloaded image of the printout of the Beverley, Yorks. St. John and St. Martin Christenings, Page 10.

Note that gggg-grandmother Mary's maiden surname may have be Marsingate. Stay tuned.

My Tangent - Written In The Stars? - And Something To Really Think About

Good Day,

Is this something written in the stars?



Here is the weirdest thing I have come across in my short sojourn and workings of this my obsession of genealogy.

It is possible that my son’s ggg-grandfather John Robertson, from his father’s maternal line's and his ggg-grandfather Thomas Aldridge, from his mother’s paternal line's families may have known or at least passed by each other at the regular services at the now no longer existing St. Peter’s Church in Liverpool.

Check out the following images, downloaded from the Bishop's Transcripts.

8 November 1845 Bishop's Transcript, St. Peter's Church, Liverpool - William Donaldson aka Robertson
Item 9, FHL [1068927]

10 September 1849 Bishop's Transcript, St. Peter's Church, Liverpool - Thomas Henry Edward Aldridge
Item 4, FHL [1068940]

Now this would have been no big deal if JK’s ancestry, like so many were all from an immediate location on this planet we call Earth. But here’s the rub, JK’s father, me, was born in Jamaica. My gg-grandfather, JK’s ggg-grandfather John Robertson was born in Lanark, Scotland.

JK’s mother, Maureen was born in Montreal. Maureen and I met in Fredericton, New Brunswick at University. All-things-being-equal I believe I have deduced that her gg-grandfather, JK’s ggg-grandfather Thomas Aldridge was born in Beverley in the East Riding of Yorkshire in England…

But at a moment in time, it appears that the Robertson and the Aldridge Families were in Liverpool. It was between the years of 1845 and 1849 that there were Robertson and Aldridge children baptized in the same Parish Church, St. Peter’s in Liverpool.

Happenstance? Maybe? A chance meeting? Perhaps? But 167± years later I discover that there may have been an earlier connection.

Written in the Stars? Definitely something to think about.

Enjoy!

Part 650a – Smith McCullogh Genealogy – 1851 England Census – GGG-Grandfather Thomas Aldridge and Family

Good Day,

And the explosion continues. This genealogy thing is just amazing…and all-things-being-equal I haven’t even started.

Today I decided to search the birth of JK’s great-great-great-grandfather Thomas Aldridge. Based on the 1851 England Census taken in Liverpool, ggg-grandfather Thomas’ birthplace is indicated as “Yorkshire, Beverly”. Source Citation - The National Archives, London, England. Class: HO107; Piece: 2183; Folio: 350; Page(s): 56,57; GSU roll: 87185-87187.

Part 648a – Smith McCullogh Genealogy – 1860 and 1861 Baptism and Birth Registration – GG-Grandaunt Maria Aldridge – Liverpool, England

Good Day,

And the search goes on. The genealogy of the Aldridge Family continues with the fourth and youngest daughter, JK’s gg-grandaunt Maria Aldridge.

The location of abode for the Aldridge Family changed from Bedford Street North to Waterloo, both in Liverpool. GG-Grandaunt Maria was baptized, as were her three elder siblings at St. Peter’s Church. The above inserted image is an 1880 image of St. Peter’s.

To date the only record I have discovered of gg-grandaunt Maria is that of her Baptism Registration entered into the Parish Register and kept at the Liverpool Records Office. The reference number is 283/Pet/2/50. The date of the Baptism is 8 July 1861 and the noted Birth date is 5 March 1860.

Here is the image.

And my transcription –

[PAGE 288]

BAPTISMS solemnized in the Parish Church of ST. PETER in LIVERPOOL, in the County of LANCASTER, in the Year One Thousand Eight Hundred and Sixty One.

Part 647a – Smith McCullogh Genealogy – 1855 Baptism and Birth Registration – GG-Grandmother Julia Adelaide (née Aldridge) McCullagh – Liverpool, England

Good Day,

The next connection in my genealogy quest is JK’s great-great-grandmother Julia Adelaide (née Aldridge) who married his great-great-grandfather William George McCullagh 31 December 1881 at the Mission Church of Dublin, South Dublin, Dublin, Ireland.

GG-Grandmother Julia Adelaide (née Aldridge) was baptized 15 October 1855 at the Parish Church of St. Peter in Liverpool. This was the same Church that her two elder siblings were also baptized.

The inserted image is of Bedford Street North in Liverpool in 2012. This was the approximate location of the Aldridge home in the early 1850s.

From the Baptism Register from the Parish Church I have captured an image of the Registration Page. My source for this document is the Parish Register as maintained at the Liverpool Record Office; 283/PET/2/43.

The following is the image –

My transcription -

[PAGE 145]

Part 646a – Smith McCullogh Genealogy – 1849 Birth Index – GG-Granduncle Thomas Henry Edward Aldridge – Liverpool, England

Good Day,

This day’s first Posting is a follow up to Part 644a. As you know I like to gather as much documentation as possible pertaining to each and every individual in my search and research and re-creation of my associated genealogy. In this case, this new document is the Page from the BMD – Birth Marriage Death Index referencing JK’s gg-granduncle Thomas Henry Edward Aldridge actual Birth Registration.

The above inserted image is the Page as downloaded from Ancestry.co.uk, as provided by the General Register Office, England and Wales Civil Registration Indexes. The original Indexes are held at the General Register Office in London, England.

Not included on this Page is the indication of the Quarter and Year. It was Jul-Aug-Sep 1849. And my transcription –

SURNAME of PARENT – Aldridge
NAME (if any) or SEX of CHILD – Thomas Henry Edward
SUP. REGISTRAR’S DISTRICT – Liverpool
Vol. – XX
Page – 405

Quick and simple. Corresponding and correlating information and details will be provided on the actual Birth Registration. As you can see this then can mean that, at this point in time, I have discovered three documents relating to gg-granduncle Thomas Henry Edward Aldridge’s birth and baptism.

And now on to the next.

Part 645a – Smith McCullogh Genealogy – 1853 Baptism and Birth Registration – GG-Grandaunt Sarah Elizabeth Aldridge – Liverpool, England

Good Day,

In keeping with this train of genealogy (or perhaps genealogical) thought, here are two Pages from two Registers reflecting the baptism of JK’s great-great-grandaunt Sarah Elizabeth Aldridge. Also I have included the Births Registered in October, November, December 1853 Page.

This is where it becomes a wee bit confusing. According to the Births Registered Index gg-grandaunt Sarah Elizabeth Aldridge’s birth was registered in Liverpool sometime in the months of October through December in the Year 1853. The Baptism Register from the Parish Church of St. Peter as does the Bishops Transcript records the baptism as of 3 June 1853.

All-things-being-equal gg-grandaunt Sarah Elizabeth should have been born sometime prior to 3 June 1853. This means that all three of these mentioned documents do not indicate the actual date of her birth. To acquire the actual date of her birth one would have to obtain the birth date information from the 3rd Quarter Volume #8b and Page 142. The logical conclusion at this point is that she, gg-grandaunt Sarah Elizabeth Aldridge was born sometime before 3 June and that her parents may have been late in registering her actual birth.

Above is the Page ALD-ALL from the Births Registered in October, November, December, 1853.

My transcription –

BIRTHS REGISTERED IN OCTOBER, NOVEMBER, DECEMBER, 1853
AlD-ALL
ALDRIDGE
NAME – Sarah Elizabeth
SUP REGISTARS DISTRICT – Liverpool
VOL – 8B
PAGE - 142

The next is the Baptism Register from the Parish Church of St. Peter in Liverpool. The image of the Register Page is downloaded from the Liverpool Record Office. The corresponding Reference Number is 283/PET/2/41.

My transcription –

[PAGE 151]

BAPTISMS solemnized in the Parish Church of ST. PETER in LIVERPOOL, in the County of LANCASTER, in the Year One Thousand Eight Hundred and Fifty Three.

When Baptised. – 1853 June 3rd

Parent’s Name.
Christian. – Thomas & Sarah Elizabeth
Surname. – Aldridge

The third Page is that of the Bishop Transcripts. It is also located at the Liverpool Records Office; number 283/PET/8/2. Here is the image.

And my transcription –

No. – 1203
June 3rd
Sarah Elizabeth / Thomas & Sara Elizabeth Aldridge Bedford St. North Agent

J.T. Amos Curate – do

And here is the new piece of information gg-grandaunt Sarah Elizabeth appears to be have been named for her mother, JK’s ggg-grandmother Sarah Elizabeth. It is a wonder how bit by bit pieces of information and data are gathered and accumulated from document to document.

Stay tuned for details on gg-grandmother Julia Adelaide (née Aldridge) McCullogh.

Part 644a – Smith McCullogh Genealogy – 1849 Birth and Baptism – GG-Granduncle Thomas Henry Edward Aldridge – Liverpool, England

Good Day,

As per Part 643a I have discovered four Baptism Registrations of JK’s Aldridge Family and genealogy.

The inserted image is of St. Peter’s Church in Liverpool. It was established in 1704. In 1919 is was the Pro-Cathedral for the Church of England and demolished in 1922.

From the Parish Register of the Parish Church of St. Peter in Liverpool, Lancaster, England I have downloaded an image of Page 319 from the Liverpool Registrar’s Office - #283/PET/2/38.

This is the 1849 Baptism Registration of JK’s gg-granduncle Thomas Henry Edward Aldridge.

Part 643a – Smith McCullogh Genealogy – Four Aldridge Baptism Registrations – 1849 - 1860

Good Day,

Well today I stumbled upon some new info.

I discovered four baptismal records in the St. Peter’s Church Register from Liverpool, Lancashire, England. It really is amazing that when I might be looking for one thing I discover something completely different. This genealogy search and research is certainly a strange game.

I was looking for the death registration of my great-great-grandfather John Robertson’s first wife, Margaret (née Dennison).

From the information that I have gathered she may have died sometime between 1845 and 1849 and somewhere between Liverpool and London. I am almost there, I think.

But in the meantime, while I followed a tangent in the Registers of Liverpool I discovered four baptism registrations for JK’s great-great-grandmother Julia Adelaide (née Aldridge) McCullogh and three of her siblings; gg-grandaunts Sarah Elizabeth, and Maria, and gg-granduncle Thomas Henry Aldridge. The baptisms are registered: 1849; 1853; 1855; and 1860. All documents are from the Liverpool Register Office. Amazing stuff!

Here is my newly updated McCullogh / Aldridge / Christie Descendant Chart.

I will present each of the four baptism registration in subsequent Postings in A Genealogy Hunt.

Stay-tuned,

Part 613ma – Smith McCullogh Genealogy - Addition to McCullogh/Aldridge/Christie Descendant Chart

Good day,

And here we go again. I have discovered some new, possible additions to the McCullogh Family Tree. But as yet, these are tenuous additions of the Aldridge genealogy. My previous McCullagh/Aldridge Posting to A Genealogy Hunt is Part 607ma.

We know that JK’s great-great-grandmother was born in England. This fact is supported by the information provided on corresponding Canada Censuses. The 1901 Canada Census of Montreal, Quebec records gg-grandmother Julia Adelaide (née Aldridge) McCullagh’s birth as “8 Fevrier 1863” or translated “8 February 1863”.

I have discovered the 1861 England Census page and a Parish Baptism Register entry that in all consideration could provide leads to the genealogy and ancestry of gg-grandmother Julia. The issues are the corresponding dates and calculation of her age and birth year. These I will continue to investigate. I will also follow up my notes in subsequent Postings to A Genealogy Hunt… So stay tuned.

Part 607ma – Smith McCullogh Genealogy – 1881 Marriage – GG-Grandparents William George McCullagh and Julia Adelaide Aldridge – Dublin, Ireland

Good Day,

Isn’t Genealogy sweet… especially when the mailman delivers a large brown envelope to the house from the Office of The Registrar General of the Civil Registration Service directly from Convent Road, Roscommon, Co. Roscommon in Ireland.

It is the 31 December 1881 Marriage Registration Entry of JK’s gg-grandfather William George McCullagh and gg-grandmother Julia Adelaide Aldridge. Hurrah, another piece to add to the puzzle…

Included in the Marriage Registration are the bride’s and groom’s fathers; JK’s ggg-grandfathers Hugh McCullagh and Thomas Aldridge. And the locations of the residences of both gg-grandfather William and gg-grandmother Julia are definitely new clues to find further branches of the McCullogh and Aldridge Family Trees.

GG-Grandfather William George is listed as a resident of Enniscorthy, and gg-grandmother Julia Adelaide’s residence is provided as Wexford. The above inserted map, from Google, depicts the connected distances from Wexford to Enniscorthy to Dublin as approximately 87 miles, 140 kms. And my next question is “Why? Why, travel the distance to Dublin to get married?”

Something to think about. GG-Grandparents William George and Julia Adelaide (née Aldridge) McCullagh were married in 1881. According to the 1911 Canada Census they and least three of their eight children immigrated to Canada in 1890. More clues in the re-creation of the McCullogh Family Tree…

Here is an image of the 1881 Marriage Registration. The writing is excellent; I do not have to transcribe.

The following is a discussion I discovered at the site Irish Church Missions. This could be a reference to be filed regarding the location of the Marriage as indicated on the Registration; "Married at the Mission Church of Dublin according to the Rites and Ceremonies of the Church of Ireland..."

Definitely something else to think about.

If you have any comments, questions, and ideas, please feel free.

Part 600ma – Smith McCullogh Genealogy – 1882 Marriage – GG-Grandparents William George and Julia Adelaide (née Aldridge) M’Cullagh – Dublin South, Ireland

Good Day,

Guess what? My PC Desktop is back in the house… and Taylor is managing to get up off her bed and the floor unassisted. Tremendous news!

And now I’m back to writing my journal of my search and research into my and my families’ genealogy.

Tonight I start with a focus on the McCullogh Project. I have been attempting to track down the Marriage Registration of JK’s gg-grandparents William George M’Cullagh and Julia Adelaide Aldridge. See Part 579ma for my preliminary work.

I have been able to locate the actual pages, 1 and 29, from the General Index Marriages Registered in Ireland During The Quarter Ended 31st March, 1882.

Here are the following pages 1 and 29 as downloaded from Item 2 of the microfilm FHL [101254] Marriage records, 1845-1870, with indexes to marriages, 1845-1921, in the General Registry Office of Ireland.

GG-Grandmother Julia Adelaide (née Aldridge) is listed on Page 1, and GG-Grandfather William George M’Cullagh on Page 29. This is the Index of the Civil Registration of their Marriage in the 1st Quarter of 1882 in Dublin South. The actual document, Marriage Registration, should be found in Volume 2 and Page 656.

The issue is that of the 334 similarly related microfilms held at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, it appears that the last year included is at 1870. Where is the year 1882? That is the next quest…

And I’ll keep searching, and researching.

Enjoy,

Part 579ma – Smith McCullogh Genealogy – 1882 Marriage Index – William George M’Cullagh and Julia Adelaide Aldridge - Dublin South

Good Day,

The search for the genealogy of the McCullogh Family Line continues. I discovered a reference to a Marriage Index identifying the 1882 Quarter, January through March marriage of gg-grandparents William George M'Cullagh and Julia Adelaide Aldridge. The location of the marriage is indicated as Dublin South in Ireland.

And now begins a new trek for me into the realm of genealogy research. I have no, and I mean zippo, none, zero experience researching Irish Ancestry. I am devoid of an enigma of understanding of the geography of Ireland… And if that doesn’t make sense, this is what I know.

Here’s the Atlantic Ocean… Here is Ireland, and island divided in two parts. Across the waters are Wales, Scotland, and England. And there are more Irish-claiming descendants in the United States and Canada on March 14th than there are green shamrocks in Ireland. And that is my experience with Irish genealogy.

Here are the two transcribed database entries.

Check out the surname… It is M’Cullagh versus McCullogh. The entry from the Marriage Index is transcribed from the “Ireland, Civil Registration Indexes 1845-1958”, Registration District – Dublin South; Volume 2; Page 656, Quarterly Returns held in Belfast, Ireland. The Indexed entry is available on the microfilm FHL [101254] available through the Family History Library at Salt Lake City and via online database through FamilySearch.org.

And now to continue the search.

Enjoy,

Jim
