William Hambridge 1839 1899 Selina Jane Wade 1845 1881 My Godfather Uncle Roy Hambridge S Grandparents and Their Ancestors IN Bermondsey Camberwell...

William Henry HAMBRIDGE's parents were John William HAMBRIDGE (1812 -1863) and Elizabeth MONRO (1812 -1892), and they married 29 Jul 1831 at Saint Mary, Newington, Surrey

Ten years later in the 1841 Census the couple are living at Bermondsey, residents of West Street, with two sons John born 1833 age 8, and William age 2, both born in Surrey.

In the 1851 Census the family are living in Staple Street, Bermondsey, Surrey and find that father John William HAMBRIDGE's occupation was 'Bag Maker' and that son John, now 17 was also a 'Bag Maker', and William now age 10 works as an 'Errand Boy'- and there are two more children to the couple, Frederick born 1841 age 8 and Jane born 1849 age 2

All four children are given as born in the parish of St Mary Magdalen, Bermondsey in this census, but John is christened at St George the Martyr, Southwark (and gives his date of birth in 1837) - I think that this reflects the growth of population in the area and the creation of further parishes, alongside changes to civil administrative areas. There is a christening for another child for the couple at St George the Martyr, another Frederick in 1836 whom I would suppose had died as the Frederick in this census seems somewhat younger, his birth given as 1843 or thereabouts, and there is a death record for Frederick HAMBRIDGE at Bermondsey in the fourth quarter of 1839.

A child likely to be theirs given the place of residence, Elizabeth HAMBRIDGE, was born in 1852 but was buried on 17 June 1853 at Bermondsey, resident of Staple St.

Only one of the family might be identified in the 1861 Census, son Frederick HAMBRIDGE in the household of his widowed aunt Sarah HAWKES (recorded as HARKES, but all other records pertaining to her and her household are for HAWKES), but his age is given as only 10 whereas if it is the same Frederick, should be around 20 - his occupation is 'Porter' which might suggest someone older than 10, so perhaps the recorded age is an error ? Sarah HAWKES is definitely a sister to Elizabeth HAMBRIDGE, as year and place of birth are consistent across census and birth records, and Sarah HAWKES marries John HAWKES in 1823 at St Giles, Camberwell.

William HAMBRIDGE marries Selina Jane WADE on 30 July 1863 at Kennington, Surrey, her father is Edward Charles WADE - note that I could not find William in the 1861 Census, either.

This couple and their growing family are documented in another Journal

The family does reappear in the 1871 Census, so their absence in the 1861 Census is a bit mysterious ; in the 1871 Census for the parish of St George, London, Surrey
Eliza HAMBRIDGE is widowed and now head of the household, age 58, with daughter Jane age 19 single with occupation 'Stock Maker', and son Frederick age 35 also single, with occupation 'Labourer'.

There are three death records for 'John HAMBRIDGE' in the period 1851 - 1871, two died in Kensington, London in 1853 and 1856 respectively, and 'John William HAMBRIDGE' dies in 1863 at St George Hanover Square, London and there is no further identifying information to determine which, if any, is of interest to this story ; the couple's son John HAMBRIDGE born 1833 or thereabouts, does not appear after the 1851 Census, so these may refer to father or son, or both - because of the exact name, although there is no certainty that it is him, I am taking the 1863 record to be that of John William HAMBRIDGE (until I have reason to think otherwise).

In the 1881 Census for Newington, London, Surrey in the registration district of St Saviour Southwark, residence in Gt Dover Street Elizabeth HAMBRIDGE, widow, is still head of the household and age 68, and as in the previous 1871 Census, living with daughter Jane age 26, single with occupation 'Gentleman Tie Hand', and son Frederick, also single age 30 with occupation 'Warehouseman'

There is now a lot of variation with Frederick's year of birth - there is Frederick HAMBRIDGE born 1836 and christened at St George the Martyr in 1837 but in the 1851 Census Frederick's birth is estimated as 1843, then, if it is the same Frederick in the 1861 Census, he is born 1851 or thereabouts, in the 1871 Census he is born 1833 (more like the year of birth of 'John HAMBRIDGE' in the 1841 Census), and in the 1881 Census he is born again around 1851.

Again, cannot find any of these people in the 1891 Census and there is a death record for Elizabeth HAMBRIDGE in 1892, London ; and once more, it is not a certainty that this refers to this Elizabeth HAMBRIDGE, but it fits well enough that I will take it as Elizabeth's record of death until I learn otherwise.

Summary

Parents of William HAMBRIDGE (1839 - 1899) who married Selina Jane WADE (1845 - 1881) in 1863, John William HAMBRIDGE (1812 -1863) mother Elizabeth MONRO (1812 -1892) married 29 Jul 1831 at Saint Mary, Newington, Surrey. Children :
1 Frederick HAMBRIDGE 1833 - 1839
2 John HAMBRIDGE 1837
3 William HAMBRIDGE 1839 - 1899
4 Frederick HAMBRIDGE 18??
5 Jane HAMBRIDGE 1849
6 Elizabeth HAMBRIDGE 1852 - 1853

William Henry's father John William HAMBRIDGE was baptised in 1812 at St John Horsleydown, Bermondsey, Surrey with parents William & Tryphena HAMBRIDGE (1774 - 1839).

William HAMBRIDGE marries Tryphena JENKINS 1802 in Devon, children to the couple thus far :
1 Elizabeth HAMBRIDGE born 1803 at St Saviour, Southwark baptised there 1804
2 William HAMBRIDGE baptised 1807 at St Saviour, Southwark, buried three months later in 1807 at Horselydown, Surrey
3 Mary Anne HAMBRIDGE born 1808 at St Saviour, Southwark
4 Tryphinia [sic] Eliza HAMBRIDGE born 1809, and baptised 1809 at St Saviour, Southwark
5 John William HAMBRIDGE baptised 1812 St Saviour, Southwark
6 Tryphina HAMBRIDGE born 1813 and baptised 1813 at St John Horsleydown, Surrey ; 1832 Tryphena HAMBRIDGE marries Alfred MONRO (born 1809) at St Dunstan In The East, London

Note : John William HAMBRIDGE married Elizabeth MONRO in 1831, his sister Tryphena HAMBRIDGE married Alfred MONRO in 1832, that is, HAMBRIDGE brother and sister John William & Tryphena married MONRO brother and sister Alfred & Elizabeth

There is one Tryphena HAMBRIDGE born 1845 at Bermondsey, dies 1847 at Bermondsey - don't know the parents, but by the name she was likely to have been part of this story, perhaps named for her grandmother so the father maybe was another son, that is, brother to John William HAMBRIDGE ?

Neither father William HAMBRIDGE nor mother Tryphena can be found in the 1841 Census, so perhaps both had died by then, and there is a death record for Tryphena HAMBRIDGE in 1839 at St Saviour, Southwark, buried November 1839 at Horsleydown, Surrey.

William Henry HAMBRIDGE's mother Elizabeth MONRO

Elizabeth MONRO's parents Robert MONRO (1769 -1827) & Mary INSTANT (1772 - ) marry in 1793 at St Olave, Bermondsey, Surrey with children :

Family of William Henry HAMBRIDGE's wife, Selina Jane WADE (1845 - 1881)

Selina Jane WADE was born 1845 at Walworth, Surrey, her parents were Edward Charles (1825 - 1873) & Jane Anne FISHWICK (1817 - 1893) married 1843 at Camberwell, Surrey.

Silena's father Edward Charles WADE was baptised in February 1825 at St Saviour, Southwark parents Henry Rice WADE & Tereza, and died at St Saviour Southwark in 1873.

In the 1851 Census Edward Charles and wife Jane WADE are living in Alpha Street, St Giles, Camberwell, Surrey, he is age 26 born 1825 at Southwark St Saviour with occupation 'Shoe Salesman Journeyman', wife Jane is age 33 born 1818 at St Saviour, and daughter Selina age 6 born 1845 at Newington St Mary, Scholar.

In the 1861 Census the family is living at Crosby Row, Walworth Road, St Mary Newington, London, Selina age 16 is anomalously recorded as 'Janett U WADE', with siblings Edward E WADE born 1847 at Southwark, age 14 occupation 'Errand Boy', Frank W WADE n 1850 at Newington age 9, Alice H WADE born Camberwell age 9, Kate S WADE born Newington age 6, Arthur H WADE born Newington age 5, and Mary Anne P WADE born Newington age 4.

In 1863 daughter Selina marries John William HAMBRIDGE, and in 1864 her youngest brother is born, Charles WADE at Walworth (the same year Selina's first child, Martha, is born).

In the 1871 Census the WADE household remains in St Mary Newington and consists of Edward age 44, occupation 'Salesman', wife Jane age 53, daughter Alice age 19 occupation 'Shoe Binder', son Arthur age 14 occupation 'Shop Boy' and Charles age 7 - cannot yet find what happened with Frank, Kate or Mary Anne.

Father Edward Charles WADE dies 1873 at St Saviour Southwark.

In the 1881 Census widow Jane A WADE is living in Mount Street, St Saviour Southwark, London age 62 with occupation 'Annuitant' - perhaps husband Charles had life insurance, given that their son-in-law Henry HAMBRIDGE was an insurer ? And her son Charles A WADE age 17 is living with her, his occupation 'Boot Clicker' - a boot clicker is a skilled craftsman who cuts the uppers for shoes from leather skins, making sure pairs of shoes match for colour, texture & finish, and maximising the number of uppers cut from a piece of leather (and Charles's late father sold shoes).
