Notes

Christening of Thomas Bridger in the IGI on 29 January 1797 in Headley, Hampshire, parents John and Hannah Bridger.

The same information is in Headley Baptisms.

Marriage of Thomas Bridger and Sarah Hill in the IGI on 28 March 1830 at Saint Mary, Newington, Surrey.

All the children were christened in Battersea in 1830-1845 - there is a 6 year gap 1834-1840 so some children may be missing. I cannot find an entry in the 1841 census.

In the 1851 census as Thomas Bridger aged 50, born in Handley (sic - Headley on the original), Hampshire, a railway porter and living with his wife (Sarah aged 41 and born in Crawley, Hampshire), son (Edward) and wife's sister (Anne Bridger aged 35 and born in Crawley, Hampshire.) at 8 York Street, Battersea, Surrey. I am not sure who Anne's husband was.

Death of Thomas Bridger in FreeBMD in April-June 1859 in Wandsworth (1d 250) which included Battersea.

There are six entries in Ancestry Public Member Trees for Thomas Bridger born on 29 January 1797, parents John Bridger and Hannah Triggs (but no evidence of their marriage).
