I have tried to track down for 20 long years my GGGrandfather's birth/ bpt.
John bridson married Catherine Sansbury at Malew 1815 (Cert)
They appear in the following Census of K Patrick.
1841 John aged 45 IOM Ag Lab. Glen Rushen.
Catherine aged 40 IOM Malew "
1851 John aged 50 (55?) Malew "
Catherine aged 50 Malew "
1861 Catherine aged 72 (60?)Malew "
John was buried 1854 K.Patrick aged 60.
I've taken 60 years off 1854 =1794.
But there is no John Bridson bp in that year ,
only 1790,1791,1792,1798,1802,in Malew, I
don't trust the ages on the Census.
I've looked at the I.G.I,and most of the Websites.
My eyes have gone square so any ideas would be most welcombe.
I'm going to have a cup of now,but you don't
want to know that.
Basil. P.Brideson. Salisbury. whiltshire.
