Hi John,
Is there a link between your Bidmeads of east London and the following family:
Parents = Joseph and Martha Bidmead (there is another couple with these names in Coventry in the 1820s but I don't believe they're the same)
Children = Martha Bidmead, Elizabeth Bidmead, Lydia Bidmead, Joseph Tolley Bidmead and Naomi Bidmead, all baptised in 1826 at Allhallows London Wall.
Also, do you have any connection with these London Bidmeads:
Parents = Edward and Sarah Bidmead (mar'd 9 May 1779, St Marylebone)
Children = Esther 'Bitmead' bap Jan 1780; John 'Bitmead' bap Dec 1780 and Ralph 'Bitmead' bap Feb 1788, all St Marylebone.
My Bidmead ancestress married in 1804 in Gloucester (as advised on Mark Grace's website, noted in your earlier message), but there's circumstantial evidence that she may connect somehow to the above families.
Would greatly appreciate your reply. Thanking you.
