1861 census on FMP.
RG09 Piece:4438 Folio:29 Page:13
RG09 Piece:4441 Folio:248 Page:2
I found a possible death in Rye but I don't think it's him as there is a Henry Bridger born in Rye bout the correct time.
I'm just googling for newspapers for the Lambeth area to see if there was a report of his death.

Hi

This post is from quite a while ago - I have obtained the Seaman's death certificate for Henry Charles Bridger - he was age 50 when he died (so born approx 1825) and was aboard the Adria when he unfortunately drowned.

Just wanted to update everyone who helped and to say a big thanks again

xx

Hi

Still trying to trace my relative Henry Charles Bridger, I haven't got a subscription to Find My Past, this seems to indicate there may have been a will for him between 1875 and 1876 but am unable to view, I have a subscription to Ancestry and would be willing to look up anything on there as a swap if someone wouldn't mind looking on Find My Past for me.

Many Thanks

Janet

I am havng similar issue trying to trace grandfathers service in the MN during WW2, no records whatsoever anywhere.

This info is from family who said he served and there used to be pics of him in some type of military / naval uniform but all searches fetching up a blank :(

Joseph Banor born 1919 Prestwich Manchester, mother was Fanny Goldberg c 1887

registered birth was 123 Crescent Road, think its a workhouse poor law.

Could also be Joseph Banov as this was common mistake with the r and v.
