Susannah Aldred married my 3 x Great Grandfather George Sporle, Ipswich St Peter, 6 Mar 1831 St.Mary Stoke, Ipswich, Suffolk.
On 1881 census, Susannah (Susan) age 72, born Ipswich, was a widow and shoe binder living with her sister, Caroline Chaplin (widow age 77 -Head - Mangle woman) at 27 Whip Street, Ipswich.
Unable to find a baptism for Susannah I traced her sister Caroline (baptism 1803) back to parents George Aldred and Elizabeth Girling.
When Susannah died 22 March 1886 aged 76 at Stoke Street, Ipswich, Elizabeth Cork, niece, (daughter of Susannah`s sister Sarah), of 88 Croft Street, Ipswich was present at her death. Sarah`s marriage and baptism confirmed that she too was the daughter of George Aldred and Elizabeth Girling.
Query: Am I safe to assume Susannah is the daughter of George Aldred and Elizabeth Girling?
George Aldred and Elizabeth Girling married 12 Jan 1794 at St Matthews Ipswich. George is a widow by 1851. The birth on his last census says b 1770 Brantham, Suffolk.
The only baptism I can find is a George Aldridge Bap 8 April 1770 at Brantham. Two trees on Ancestry, one is my cousin to whom I sent a gedcom and she promptly put it public (!) and another one, both have George born Ipswich with parents George Aldrid and Mary Woollard (married Ipswich) which I think is wrong as he says born Brantham not Ipswich.
Funnily enough although I have the death cert for George Aldred – 1854 I cannot find a suitable death for his wife Elizabeth Aldred (Girling) except for this one:
ALDRICH, ELIZABETH age 76 GRO Reference: 1847 D Quarter in IPSWICH Volume 12 Page 235
Elizabeth Girling – I found a bap for her 9 jun 1769 to Robert and Catherine at St Matthew, Ipswich and a marriage for Robert and Catherine Basket at St Matthew 19 Nov 1764.
Query: Assuming Susannah is the daughter of George Aldred and Elizabeth Girling, do you think that there has been a name change from Aldridge to Aldred?
