He was christened on the 14th of January 1826 in Stoke St. Milborough. His mother was Hannah Bridgwater(s), from whom he received his surname. She was christened on 13 August 1806 in Stoke, the daughter of Edward Bridgwaters and Elizabeth Edwards. Thomas was a miner in 1846 and married Maria Lewis (on 14 Dec 1846) in the Church of Brockmoor, Stourbridge. He was in Kingswinford, Stafford in 1881. Hannah also had a bastard son named William. I want to find a bastardy order or bishop's transcript or something at all which would prove or indicate the identity of his father. I am desperate to know the truth behind my male line! Can anyone help? I want to find out what happened to Hannah. Did she ever get married? When/where did she die? I need as many answers as possible.
