Hi Jackie, I've been searching my family tree but I can't find Johnathon & Elizabeth. I do have several Henshaws in the tree but can't find Elizabeth. The earliest Henshaw I have in my family tree is Aaron Henshaw (d. 1881) married in 1871 to Hannah Horridge (b. abt 1849). They were in the Basford/Cotmanhay area. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Thank you for persistence in contacting me Susan! I did not see your earlier reply and am so happy to communicate with you further re our common ancestry. Rick remembers his mother saying that Enoch immigrated to USA with the intention of continuing on to Alberta for work in the coal mining industry. His stop in Pennsylvania was to be temporary , staying with a relative who might possibly have been a great aunt. Unfortunately Enoch became ill and as a consequence of his illness did not have money to continue his journey. We always understood that he had to return to work in Pa. Once his health improved. Harriet spoke about their poverty during these years. We think the was also a relative in Alberta with whom Enoch had contact and would help the family settle there. Harriet now suffers from effects of a stroke and has limited memory now. I read you had an old photo of George and Mary Ann and wonder if you could attach to an email for us at rickrobinson55@hotmail.com. So anxious to hear from you again! Sharon

Hi Sharon,

I responded to your post last weekend through the email "Contact" button next to your name but I didn't hear back from you so not sure if you received my response. We are related through George and Mary Ann - your husband's grandfather Enoch and my great-grandfather John were brothers.

Do you know why Enoch immigrated to the States - I'm curious to know his story on how he ended up there.

Susan.

Re: Horridge's of Ilkeston, Derbyshire

hekimer209 — 2014-04-07 01:03:17Z

Can you tell me how we might be connected? I am thinking likely through Enoch's (1882)family of origin......George (1853) and Mary Ann (1856)?

Sharon

Re: Horridge's of Ilkeston, Derbyshire

hekimer209 — 2014-04-07 00:58:41Z

Hello Susan. I am new to ancestry research so it is very exciting to get a response to my note. I apologize for an earlier error having Enoch immigrating to usa in 1920.....it was in 1910 with his wife Lucy (Meakin) who were married in West Hallan in 4/91904. At the time of their immigration on the ship "Arabic" they had three children Clarice 1906, Bertha 1908, Enoch Jr 1909. They settled in Pennsylvania and had three more children Albert 1911, Henry 1913 and Harriet whose birth certificate reads born in 1919. Harriet is my husband's mother and the only child of Enoch and Lucy still living at 94 years. I am so hopeful you can fill in some unknown aspects of ancestry and will really look forward to hearing from you again.

sflint27 — 2014-04-06 23:53:49Z

Hi Sharon, I haven't been on this message board for quite some time and just saw the alert that I had a reply. I have two daughters of Enoch Horridge: Bertha born in 1908 in England and then Harriet born in 1920 in Pennsylvania. Are either of these women your husband's mother? It was only recently that I discovered that Enoch had immigrated to the USA so if this is your husband's family I would love to hear more.

Re: Horridge's of Ilkeston, Derbyshire

RobinsonS68 — 2014-03-21 02:52:52Z

My husband' s mother was a Horridge.....daughter of Enoch (1882) who immigrated to USA in 1920. I am thinking there is a definite connection. Would love to hear from you!

should have said Gordon is the child of Michael and eveline

cheers

Re: search

brian_horridge — 2013-06-25 17:51:54Z

I doubt if Michael's parents both had the surname Horridge. In the GRO marriage indexes, of over 2,300 Horridge marriages there are only 6 marriages where both bride and groom are a Horridge and none are close to the date of Michael's birth year.
Therefore, it's most likely that Michaels mother was not married.
I'm doing a One Name Study of the surname Horridge so have indexed all the Horridge GRO births, marriages and death indexes (and I have a lot of other Horridge information).
As has been mentioned, it looks as if Michael married Eveline Jones (Q2 1966) and they had one son Gordon (Q2 1967). I cannot find an obvious death for either Michael, Gordon (or Eveline).
If you want to contact me off-list for further information, my One Name Study e-mail address is horridge@one-name.org.

Re: search

eggybread — 2013-06-25 08:37:27Z

Hi,

You don't say when you think Michael may have been born. Also which resources you may have already looked at.

So using FreeBMD www.freebmd.org.uk/ (a natioanal Index of Births, marriages and deaths - in progress) and search only on HORRIDGE and Michael only gives a Michael R born in the December quarter of 1949 in Cambridge.

Using Ancestry.co.uk birth index gives the same result.

FreeBMD does not yet have the marriage, however on Ancestry, a little later than you suggest there was a marriage to Eveline (note spelling) JONES in the June quarter of 1966 in Bolton.

The Cambridge birth and the Bolton marriage may be linked, and his young age may have contributed to the break up of the marriage.

There's something odd about the Cambridge birth, which is more apparent on FreeBMD births. As the mother's maiden name is used on the child's birth you can assume a marriage. It's a HORRIDGE/HORRIDGE marriage. And the ONLY marriage at that. There were similar births with assumed marriages in Lancashire. Could they be the same family?

You will definitely need certificates (or baptisms) and I suggest you take things slowly with an open mind.

Cheers

Mike

John James Horridge and Ann J Mcdonald married 1882

khorridge38 — 2012-02-01 22:19:29Z

Is there anyone who can help me find anymore information regarding my GGgrandfather/mother? I know their names and when they were married but can find no date of death or dates of births for either of them. I am more interested in John Horridges information due to I know who Ann's parents were. They were married in bolton england in sept of 1882 and they had 3 children Stephen Samuel and Edward. I know they died shortly after Edward was born in 1885 but not sure on how or exactly when.

Re: John James Horridge and Ann J Mcdonald married 1882

khorridge38 — 2012-04-09 16:25:30Z

Hello,
Okay I found out that Mary Horridge was John J.'s mother, She was an unwed mother of 2 children. In the 1881 Census it shows them (Mary, John J., Jane and mary's brother James) all living in the same house. I looked at the 1861 census and I found Mary living at home with 6 month old
John. My question is how can I go about finding out who John's father was? Do you know why John wouldn't have is father's last name? Do you think I will ever be able to find the information? Thank you for your help :-)

Re: HORRIDGE Bolton

khorridge38 — 2012-03-22 15:50:11Z

I was wondering if you can find any information regarding Mary A horridge born 1826 in Bolton? She was the mother of John J Horridge and Jane Horridge. I cannot seem to find a husband for her so I am curious if she was an unwed mother. I can only find her on the 1881 Census with John and Jane living with her as well as a James Horridge as a lodger. Was she married and a widow or was she single?

Re: John James Horridge and Ann J Mcdonald married 1882

khorridge38 — 2012-02-02 14:37:08Z

Thanks. What I have found regarding Ann is that her family went by the name Mcdonell and changed it to Mcdonald. They (John and Ann) died around the same time, if not at the same time, and 2 the children were brought over to America by their maternal grandmother. So I do believe that the John Horridge that you found, who died at age 29, was more than likely him. I did find a census here (Salt Lake City)at the Library with him having a birthdate sometime in the first quarter of 1861. He was 20 and lived with his mother (Mary) and sister (Jane) but there was no father. I am thinking that he probably died sometime after 1863 (the year of Jane's birth) But I am not able to find see censuses with a father unless I go back to the Library. Are you able to find and see any other censuses prior to 1880 that may show John's father's name?

Re: HORRIDGE Bolton

khorridge38 — 2012-06-12 13:28:08Z

Thanks Mike!, I have found a relative living in New Zealand that confirmed she was unmarried, never married at that, and that she lived with her children in the 1880 census. From there on she lived with her daughter and her son in law until she passed. I am pretty much at my end here until I can find a way to England and do research there on Mary, to see if she did have a bastardy order, or get a copy of the birth certificate. That is also providing that a father is listed. Thank you for all your help!

Hi Angie,

I have a Henry HORRIDGE, born in Bolton in 1874. He married an Annie UNKNOWN from Wem in Shropshire. They had three children, Frank in Bolton 1898; Bertram and Gladys in 1899 and 1900 both born in Blackpool.

Frank went on to marry my gran's sister Cora HUMPHRIES, in 1918. They soon tootled off to Northern Rhodesia. Cora's 6 siblings were born variously in Texas, Kansas and Gorton.

Does this ring any bells?

Cheers

Mike

Re: horridge george matthews

Hi Angie,

Good luck

Mike

Re: John James Horridge and Ann J Mcdonald married 1882

eggybread — 2012-04-09 19:13:13Z

Hi,

The short answer is that unless John's father was mentioned in a church baptism or possibly a bastardy order I think you have little chance.

Another descendant relative may give a clue, or perhaps a family bible. Family historians like to think their ancestor simply slipped up with a boyfriend, but the truth is just as likely to have been something less acceptable.

Whether you go digging down that road is up to you.

Mike

Re: John James Horridge and Ann J Mcdonald married 1882

eggybread — 2012-04-20 06:52:01Z

Hi,

You would need to check with the local or county record office to see if there was one. GENUKI is the portal you need - http://www.genuki.org.uk/big/eng/LAN/

If you are lucky and they are held there they may have been indexed. Email if you can't get there, but a visit would be be lots more use to see everything else they have. Not everything is on the Internet.

Re: John James Horridge and Ann J Mcdonald married 1882

eggybread — 2012-05-03 21:07:19Z

There are a few, but they are very rare, as most were destroyed. And even those that remain, and certainly the 1811 and 1821 are Heads of Household names only.

Re: HORRIDGE Bolton

eggybread — 2012-06-12 08:03:39Z

Hi,

Have a look at the 7th column of the census it says "Unm", meaning unmarried. However, some people declared themselves Unmarried when, technically, there were Widows/Widowers.

There is, however, another explanation. She may have had a cousin marriage, so that her maiden name was the same as her married name. Yet another explanation was that although she had a family she didn't bother getting married.

Try these websites to find out more, before buying certificates:

http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/
http://www.lancashirebmd.org.uk/index.php
http://www.freebmd.org.uk/
https://www.familysearch.org/

You will need all of them as they all have different data or similar data searched in a different way.

Mike

Re: John James Horridge and Ann J Mcdonald married 1882

eggybread — 2012-02-02 11:13:06Z

Hi,

Go to FreeBMD, http://www.freebmd.org.uk/ Remember dates are quarters and are for date of registration, NOT date of birth. You need the certificate for that.

There were plenty of HORRIDGEs in Bolton, so be sure they were born there, before you select Bolton as the only registration district. I looked for Johns, not John James, and found 7 between 1845 and 1868. Then looked for James only. There were 8 James, only one of which was James John in 1860.

I used a surname only approach for McDONALD, only finding an Ann in 1867. So checked MacDONALD, with no joy at all. So went back and re-ran the search to 1870. (The legal minimum age for marriage I think was 12, for girls) I suspect this is your relative, possibly with the Jane being added at baptism. (You may also call yourself whatever you like at a marriage, so long as isn't for fraudulent purposes.)

You say both parents died post 1885, how do you know this?

There was a 29 year old John who died in the December quarter of 1890. You need the death certificate. That will give you an address with luck. So you can look around there for the 1891 census. Ann may have re-married, she would have been desperate for income, and all the children taken on the new husband's name. (Even if they reverted back to their HORRIDGE name later.)

Hope that helps

Mike

Re: John James Horridge and Ann J Mcdonald married 1882

eggybread — 2012-02-03 11:01:05Z

Hi

In the 1861 census Ref: RG9; Piece: 2830; Folio: 22; Page: 37 there are parents Joseph (33 yrs) and Mary (33 yrs), with a Thomas W (3 yrs) and a James 7 months. I think you need sight of the original, if you've only seen a transcription. There was an unmarried James HORRIDGE (31yrs) living with them, possibly a younger brother of Joseph.

You should also understand the enumerators marks on the census regarding households in a single property. I suspect conditions were the wrong side of appalling. My interpretation is that 3 families, including the HORRIDGEs, lived in one house, perhaps with only 2 or 3 bedrooms, and an outside toilet perhaps shared between houses. You need to dig up some local history books on Bolton.

Using the above information and entering in to FreeBMD, Mary was probably Mary Ann WALLIS. (You need to get a birth certificate of James to be certain. Follow the links to see where to get it from.)

You may find more transcriptions here http://www.lan-opc.org.uk/ but again, at some point you will need original images.

I suggest you post to the Lancashire board http://boards.ancestry.com/localities.britisles.england.lan.... and separately ask about housing conditions and HORRIDGE.

Hi Hilary,

We seem to have a lot of similar names in the family tree so there is an excellent chance that the two lines are connected. The information I have on the Horridges prior to the 1840's comes from another Ancestry.com member and I haven't personally verified the data. I'll give you a brief outline of what I have.

Johnathon Horridge married Mary Unknown prior to 1793. One child is Thomas Horridge (b. 1793) married to Mary Sifson (b. 1796) Thomas & Mary have John Horridge (b.1820) who marries Mary Ann Hardy (b. 1828). John & Mary Ann have six children: 1. Mary (b. 1848) married to Frederick Bostock Brown (b. 1845); 2. Hannah (b. 1849) married to Alfred Henshaw (b. 1848); 3. George (b. 1853) married to Mary-Ann Toplis (b. 1856); 4. Harriet (b. 1856) married to Joseph William Gamble (b. 1853); 5. Pamela (b. 1860) married to Alfred Beardsley (b. 1850); and 6. Elizabeth (b.1863) married to James Henshaw (b. 1861).

Not sure if this info is going to help but maybe you'll be able to see a connection.

Re: Horridge's of Ilkeston, Derbyshire

George Horridge (b.1853) & Mary-Ann Topliss (b.1856) were married in Dec. 1875. They had 15 children, 1 is unknown but the others are: George (b. 1876, d. 1879), John (b. 1877), Louisa (b. 1879), Enoch (b. 1881), George (b.1883), Arthur (b. 1886, d. 1891), Harriet (b. 1888, d. 1973), Ezekiel (b. 1890, d. 1892), Clarence (b 1892), Bertha (b. 1894), Ethel (b. 1895, d. 1896), Joseph (b. 1897, d. 1897), Mary Eliza (b. 1900), Vera Irene (b. 1901, d. 1903). This information came from a family bible given to my grandmother in 1935 as well as various census records found on Ancestry.com.

Louisa Horridge (B. 1879) married Joseph Maycock (b. 1878). Joseph's parents were Jesse Maycock (b. 1858, d. 1886) and Sarah Ann Riley (b. abt 1860).

I have information on George Horridge's (b. 1853) ancestors going back three generations but don't know if you want to know about that line -- if you would like that information let me know and I can forward it as well. I don't have anything more on Mary-Ann Topliss or her ancestors. I do have a picture of George & Mary Ann along with their children Harriet, John, Louisa, Enoch, George, Bertha and Mary. Mary looks to be around 3or 4 years old so must have been taken around 1904. If you would like I could try posting it as an attachment.

Hello
My husband's family originated in Ilkeston and includes the HORRIDGE (sometimes ORRIGE, etc)-
Mary HORRIDGE (Orrige on marriage cert) married Francis Hallam in the Parish of Radford, Notts 9 July 1843.
In 1851 they were living in Ilkeston and in census records it states born Ilkeston or Cotmanhay, DBY.
Mary's father was given as Jonathan Orrige, Brick maker.
The Horidge family were shown to be living in Cotmanhay, near Ilkeston in the 1841 Census "Jonothon Horidge" was stated to be 42 a Brickmaker; William 18; Brickmaker; Thomas 20; Brickmaker. Elizabeth (probably his wife) was shown to be 48; Rachel 16 F.W.K.; Ann 14; Hannah 9; Elinor 7 and Esther 6.

I am looking for any information on John Horridge, Born abt 1806, possibly Lancashire or Manchester.

He lived in Wales in 1841, I have details of 1841 Wales Census, but no further record of him.

He had two children, John 1845 and Jane 1844 to Charlotte Richard/s. I don't think they married.

Any information would be greatly appreciated as this man has become my "brick wall"

I belive my grandmother Mary Ann Toplis Downs (b.1880) was a niece of George and Mary Ann Horridge. She grew up in Ilkeston on Byron Street. Her parents were Susannah Barker and George Ezekial Toplis (Topliss on the marriage certificate).Her father's sisters were Moriah T. Stevenson?,
Louisa T. Baker, Mary Ann T. Horridge, Angelina T. ?, Sarah Jane T. ? Did George and Mary Ann have children Robert, John Enoch,George, Clarence, Ezekial, Louisa, Harriet, Eva?
Did Louisa marry someone named Joseph?
I would appreciate information on any of these families. Thank you.
