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.

Enjoy,

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,

Jim

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.

Enjoy,

Jim
