It looks like Joshua SUGDEN & Ellen REYNOLDS had 11 children all born Preston

Bertha b1891
William b1893
Joshua b1895

It looks like Richard may have died, there is a death for Richard SUGDEN in 1903 Preston aged 2.


On 1891 Census Joshua SUDGEN (instead of SUGDEN) 5 Trower Street Preston, with wife Ellen and children Thomas, Albert, Sarah & Bertha.

On 1901 Census Joshua SUGDEN 17 James Street Preston with wife Ellen and children Albert, Sarah, Bertha, William, Joshua, Joseph, Ellen and Richard - Thomas living elsewhere.

On 1911 Census Joshua SUDGEN 32 Brixton Road Preston - No sign of Richard b1901 image states 10 children living 1 deceased.

I found a Thomas SUGDEN b1883 Preston on 1911 Census living at 34 Talbot Street Oldham, married 2 years wife Sally, son Thomas Reynolds aged 2 has been crossed out but still says 1 child living, none deceased.
I found Thomas Reynolds SUGDEN with his grandparents Luke & Martha Ann HAMPSON at 36 Herbert Street, Watershedding, Oldham.

There is a birth for Thomas Reynolds SUDGEN in 1909 Oldham and a marriage for Sally HAMPSON and Thomas SUGDEN in 1908 Oldham.

It looks like the one deceased child on the 1911 for Joshua and Ellen is Richard b1901 and died 1903.

BMD is showing 2 Richard SUGDEN'S born 1901, one in Preston presumably to Joshua & Ellen and the other Richard Lee SUGDEN born Oldham.

On the 1911 Census Richard Lee SUGDEN is the only Richard SUGDEN I could find and he is living with his parents Richard Lee & Jane SUGDEN at Werneth Oldham, 6 children all living, 5 living with them including Richard.

McArthur Dorothy Sugden W.Derby 8b 827
Sugden Richard McArthur W.Derby 8b 827

you will need to purchase the certificates to verify all the details and match them up, the best one to start with would be your father Joseph's and his mother & fathers marriage certificate and work from there, the marriage certificate will give you an approximate age for your Grandfather Richard - this will save you searching the wrong family line.

If the marriage to Dorthy is correct then there are three other siblings to Joseph & Joyce.

Richard was born abt 1890 and it looks like Leeds Yorkshire and not Preston Lancashire.

Births Jun 1890 (>99%)
Sugden Richard Bramley 9b 374

Births Dec 1892 (>99%)

Could be either one of these two. I think probably the fist one
