Peter Francis Judge 23rd May 1916 - 4th March 1992

Peter Francis Judge was born on 23rd May 1916 at 95 Olive Road, Crickelwood, London. He was the only child of Francis Henry Judge and Ethel Mary Judge (nee Merriman).

In 1927 Peter Francis Judge was sent to St Pauls School, Lonsdale Road, Richmond, London. Whilest at the school he excelled at sports, primarly at cricket.

Peter Judge was a skilful fastish medium right-arm bowler who made a remarkable entry into first-class cricket as a 17-year-old in August 1933, only weeks after he had left St Paul's School. Middlesex gave him a game against Surrey at The Oval; he took 5 for 77 in 37 overs and 4 for 62, one of the best first-class debuts a bowler has ever had. In the next game, against Derbyshire at Lord's, he rapidly dismissed the first three batsmen and finished with an analysis of 20-10-27-5. Everything after that was an anticlimax. He only played a handful of matches the following year and then disappeared from the first-class game until 1939 when he became a professional for Glamorgan, taking 69 wickets, including eight for 75 against Yorkshire at Bradford. In the war, he was in the RAF and played some first-class cricket in India. He then returned to Glamorgan and continued to take useful wickets, including seven for 23 on a drying Cardiff pitch against Derbyshire, before injury forced him to retire in 1947. The previous season Judge had the bizarre experience of being dismissed for nought twice inside a minute. In the game against the Indians at Cardiff, he was bowled by C. T. Sarwate at the end of the first innings, at which point Glamorgan followed on. But with little time left, the captain Johnnie Clay decided to give the crowd some entertainment, so he waived the ten minutes between innings, and reversed his batting order. The batsmen then at the crease stayed out there and Sarwate bowled Judge again, first ball.

The reason why Peter Francis Judge went missing from cricket in 1934 is simple, he started a family.
One day in 1933 he and a bunch of friends went to the Lyons Tea house in Piccadilly, whilest being waited on he took a shine to the young lady who was waiting on them. Upon asking her name, he was informed that it was Lilian Biss. He asked her out, which is agreed to. On one of their dates he took her up to Hampstead Heath, which is a large expanse of open countryside with large ponds which are used by people to swim in and back in the 1930's the heath was also used to graze cattle, well one night whilest getting romantic, Lilian, who had her hair done especily for the evening, laid back and put her hair in a cow pat.

By 1934 Lilian Adeline Biss infrom Peter Francis Judge that she was pregnant and after he informed his father Francis Henry Judge, who was very impressed that at the age of 18 he got a women pregnant, insisted that he did the right thing and marry her.

On 2nd November 1934 Peter Francis Judge married Lilian Adeline Biss at Willesden Registry Office. The marriage entry reads; 1934 Marriage solemnized at The Register Office in the District of Willesden in the County of Middlesex.

The marriage entry reads; William Frederick Bourn of this Parish Mary Ann Judge of the parish of Sheldwich, Kent were married in this Church by license with Consent of ----- this seventh Day of August in the Year One thousand eight hundred and 25.
By me  J m Cunningham.
This Marriage was solemnized between us {William Frederick Bourn
                                                                 {M A Judge
In the Presence of {R Gent
                            {E Gent

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.

After the marriage William and Mary Ann Bourn moved to Faversham, Kent were they would go on to have five children; Mary Ann Bourn born 1826, Louisa Thomazin Bourn born 1828, William Frederick Bourn born 1830, Agnes Bourn born 1833 and Elizabeth Bourn born 1837.

By the night of 6th June 1841, when the census was held, they were living in White Street, Southwark, Surrey. At home that night there was William, Mary, Wiliam, Agnes and Elizabeth. Mary Ann and Louisa Thomazin were not at home that night.

Living in the Bourn household were William Bourn working as a Cooper, Mary Ann Bourn, Agnes Bourn and Elizabeth Bourn. They also had two visitors, Mary Ann Stokes and Louisa Stokes.

On the night of 7th April 1861 the census was held. Mary Ann Bourn (nee Judge) was living at 9 Stewart Street, Poplar, Tower Hamlets, Middlesex. She was living with her daughter Mary Ann Post (nee Bourn) and her family. The house was shared with another couple and their stepson.

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.

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.
