It seems that there are a few intersting facts to be gleaned from this record. First of all William Frederick Bourn was born in Faversham, Kent, so the entry of Mary Ann Judge coming from Sheldwhich, Kent, could apply more to William and secondly the witnesses R Gent and E Gent apply to Robert Gent and Elizabeth Gent (nee Judge), Mary's sister and brother in-law.

She was living with her daughter Mary Ann Post (nee Bourn) and her family. The house was shared with another couple and their stepson. The couple were David and Mary Pelhem, whilest David's stepson was James Flicker. Both David Pelham and James Flicker were employed as Labour's.

Mary Ann Bourn's (nee Judge) daughter Mary Ann Post was married to Alfred Post a Steam Engine Driver. They had five children living with them Harriet Post, Pricella Post, Caroline Post, Mary Ann Post and Louisa Post.

By 1866 Mary Ann Bourn (nee Judge) had been moved into the Union Workhouse, Poplar, Middlesex. She died in the workhouse on 28th May 1866.

Eleanor Judge 30th July 1797 - c. 1837

Eleanor Judge was the third child of Henry and Dorothy Judge. She was born on 30th July 1797 at Harrow on the Hill, Middlesex.

She married on 1st July 1821 at St. Georges Hannover Square, Marylebone, Middlesex. The Marriage Register reads; Ebenezer Conquest of this Parish and Eleanor Judge of this Parish were married in this Church by Banns with Consent of ----- this First Day of July in the Year One Thousand Eight Hundred and Twenty one.

This Marriage was solemnized between us {Ebenezer Conquest
                                                                 {Eleanor Judge
In the Presence of {John Wilkins
                            {Ann Selwood

John Wilkins and Ann Selwood seem to be professional witnesses, just like Caleb Grevill and Martha Sunita had been for Eleanor's parents back in 1793.

By 1823 Eleanor and Ebenezer were living in Islington, Middlesex and they had one child William Henry born 1823.

Eleanor Conquest (nee Judge) appears to die some time between 1823 and 1837, due to the fact that her husband Ebenezer Conquest remarries in 1838.

Thomas Judge c.1795 - 28th May 1859

Thomas Judge was my 4x Great Grandfather. He was the second child of Henry and Doroty Judge. He was born c.1795 in Harrow, Middlesex.

Elizabeth Judge 13th April 1794 - 25th October 1833

Elizabeth Judge was my 4x Great Aunt. She was the first born child of Henry and Dorothy Judge. Elizabeth Judge was born in Harrow, Middlesex on 13th April 1794. She was married at St Mary's Harrow on the Hill, Middlesex. The marriage register records that Robert Gent of this Parish and Elizabeth Judge of this Parish were married in this church by licence with consent of ---- this sixth Day of August in the Year One thousand eight hundred and fifteen.

Elizabeth and Robert went on to have at least three children; Elizabeth born 1816, Henry William born 1819 and Robert born 1821. The first two children were born in Harrow, Middlesex, whilest their youngest was born in Southwark, Surrey.

By 1823 their youngest child Robert had died and by the 1830's the family had moved back north of the River Thames to Marylebone, Middlesex, were by 1833 they were resident in St Marylebone Workhouse. On the 18th October 1833 Elizabeth Gent (nee Judge) died in St Marylebone Workhouse and was buried on 25th October at St Marylebone Church, in the burial register her age was given at 42, this would mean that she was born in 1791, the internment was overseen by a Peter Moody.

Henry Judge c.1766 - 15/02/1821

Henry Judge is my 5x Great Grandfather. I found out about him when I was going thou some papers that my 2x Great Aunt left me after she died in 1993. I had managed to reseach my family as far back as my 3x Great Grandfather Henry Judge, (I know it gets very confusion with my Judge ancestors), and I had got stuck. Amongst the papers was the marriage certificate of Henry Judge and Mary Frances Oates, which infromed me that his father was a Thomas Judge, whose occupation was that of a baker, because the marriage took place in 1853, I looked at the 1851 Census and found Thomas Judge living with his wife Elizabeth and their four children; Henry, Jane, William and Charles in Samford Street, St Marylebone, Middlesex. It gave his age as 56 and his place of birth as Harrow, Middlesex.

I then went over to the London Metropolotain Achive Centre and looked at the Parish Records for St. Mary Harrow on the Hill, Middlesex and found (after some searching) the baptism entry for a Thomas Judge on 21st February 1796, stating that he was the son of Henry & Dorothy Judge of Harrow.

I then went to the Public Record Office, which used to be based in Chancery Lane, City of London, and found a copy of Pallot's Marriage Index for England: 1780 - 1837 and in there was the entry for a Henry Judge to a Dorothy Pratty held at St George's Hannover Square, Westminster, Middlesex.

I then went over to Westminster Libary and found the Parish Records for St George's Hannover Square and found in the Marriage Register for 1793 the following entry; Henry Judge and Dorothy Pratty, both of this Parish were married in this Church by Banns this twentyfirst Day of May in the year 1793 by me Thos Ash Curate This marriage was solmnized between us }The Mark x of Henry Judge
                                                                                     }Dorothy Pratty
In the presence of {Caleb Greville
                             {Martha Sunita

It seems from looking at other marriage entries that Caleb Greville was a proffesional witness for the marriages at the time.

On http://www.ancestry.co.uk/ I have uploaded a family tree relating to the Judge Family and having made a connection to an individual who happended to be reasearching the same Henry Judge, they informed me that in 1805 a "Bond in £600 to accept arbitration in disputes. Henry Judge of Harrow, baker to John Read of Wembley, mealman. Signed and sealed by Henry Judge." This record was found at the National Archives, Kew, London.

So it seems that my earliest ancestor that I can confirm is my 5x Great Grandfather Henry Judge, who was born in c.1766 possibly in Harrow or Westminster, Middlesex, he was married on 21st May 1793 to Dorothy Pratty at St George's Hannover Square, Middlesex. They then moved to Harrow where they went on to have seven children; Elizabeth born 1794, Thomas born 1795, Eleanor born 1797, Mary Ann born 1799, Henry born 1802, Jane born 1806 and Charlotte born 1809 all in Harrow and they were all baptised at St Marys Harrow on the Hill, Harrow, Middlesex.

He was employed as a baker, but was not affliated to the Worshipful Company of Bakers, because he was not born or lived within the City of London, so he must of trained at a local bakers either in Harrow or Westminster. He got in dispute with a mealman, a person who dealt with grain. So somebody who was surpling the grain to make his bread.

He moved to Islington, Middlesex sometime in the early 19th century and died c.8th February 1821 whilest living at Wells's Row, Islington, Middlesex, which now might be Wells Terrace, Islington, London. He was buried on 15th February 1821 at St Mary's Church, Islington. The burial entry records that he was 55 years of age, living at Wells's Row and the presiding priest was a Revd W. Denham.

Welcome

Hello and welcome to my new blog. My name is Marcus Lionel Judge and I have been researching my family history since 1993, when my brother-in-law gave me the encouragement to take a leap in the deep end.

I had always been intrested in my family and when my Great Great Aunt Phyllis Mary Judge had to move home she bequeathed us the Family Bible, which presented me with loads of new names, that made me curious as to who they were.

With this blog I hope to inform my readers as to what I have discovered about my various ancestors and hopefully connect with other people who might also have a connection with me.
