My Great Great Grandmother was a Sarah BURRIDGE she was born on
4/4/1844 at Pipe Lane in the Sub-District of Mary Redcliff Bristol.
Her father was Henry BURRIDGE, an Anchorsmith, her mother was
Elizabeth SMITH. Henry is listed in the 1881 London Census as being
born at Bedminster,Bristol he was at age 67 making him born around
1814.
Henry and Elizabeth were married at St Mary Le Port, Bristol on
12/1/1844. Henry's father was a Joseph BURRIDGE (shoemaker) and
Elizabeth's Father was John SMITH (Haulier).

Their daughter Sarah. married William Richard HATCH at St Annes in
Limehouse - Middlesex on 8/2/1864, they sailed to NEW ZEALAND around
1880. They lived in New Zealand for 10 years in the Wellington area,
and finally came to Melbourne Australia where they eventually settled.
They had the following Children, I now a little about Sarah &
Rosamond, but know nothing about the others, some would have been born in England and some in New Zealand.
Walter, Alfred & Florence were the only ones born in Melbourne.
