Help pretty help! 1841

[Phoenix]

Humphrey Pridden again. Odd rot him. I thought I'd found him and a brother as apprentices or servants, or dealing in skins in 1841. Very dark image and I can't locate it! Nor can I find the original. I think they were calling themself John & Joseph. I think it was St Marylebone.

Can anybody find them????

[Phoenix]

Of course, it would be helpful if I told you he was born in 1814

Do you mean you have the image, but it's v dark? Can you read any of the other names?

[Margaret in Burton]

I found some Pridden's living in St Marylebone but not the right ones

[Merry]

I'm a bit confused! Humphrey is aliasing as Joseph or as John? And which of them was b 1816?

In 1841 there's a "Humphry Prider" aged 20 and John Prider aged 14 in St Marylebone, but they are both Journeyman Bakers, so I guess that isn't them (and the image is a lovely one, though the surname does look more like Prides to me!!)

[Phoenix]

That must be what I found!

Merry, would you quote the ref to me, then I can check it later. The quality of the image I saw was so poor, and it did not copy at all well.

As my man used the alias Timothy Cannon c 1831, and John Briddon in 1851 and had deserted his wife in 1841, I am prepeared to believe anything of him!

Double drat! That must be why I can't find it. Find My Past ISN'T RECOGNISING THE REFERENCE

He's transcribed as Bedes on FMP but it's a terrible image. PM me your email address and I'll send you the one from Ancestry
