Caddy's part 2

This is a picture of the church at Cartmel, now known as Cartmel Priory, church name St Mary & St Michaels.














I finally got round to going to Kendal RO, good day as well I managed to get a parking space outside the building.

Searching through the Cartmel St Mary & St Michaels registers I found another child of my John Caddy and Elizabeth (still no surname) who was called Philip and baptised on 1st April 1821. Since coming back from Kendal I found a Philip Caddy who I thought might be the right one and he married Eleanor Thompson in 1859. So I sent for the marriage certificate to see who it had for Philip's father, this does confirm that it's a good match. Father down as John Caddy, Labourer and they are living not too far from Cartmel where the family are from.

I then couldn't find Philip on the 1861 census but did find a possible death on 19th December1860, which I sent off for. The age matches my Philip. Poor guy's cause of death was "killed by falling down an iron ore shaft" and place of death was Lindale Moor, which I have since found out was a local Iron Ore mine close to where they were living. I then finally tracked down his wife, noted as being called Ellen Caddy on the 1861 census living with her mother Marie Thompson and her daughter Elizabeth Margaret Caddy (born in 1860). So thats another line to follow when I have some spare time.

Back to what I found at Kendal - I wanted to find a link between my John Caddy (1787/1788) and Henry Caddy (c1784) who is the ancestor of a lady who has contacted me recently and I feel they were probably brothers. Anyway I found a John Caddy born 5 July 1788 in Flookburgh, which is the place of birth my John has used on the census returns. The fathers name was Jonathan Caddy and mother Anne. So searching through more baptism records I found Jonathan baptised 23 Feb 1777, Margaret born 20 Dec 1778, another Jonathan born 20 Aug 1781, Harry born 14 Dec 1784, Michael 28 Jan 1793 and William 29 Jan 1796 all born in Flookburgh and parents Jonathan and Anne Caddy. I think Harry is the Henry I have been trying to find a link too. I was a little worried at first because of finding 2 Jonathan's but searching the burials I found a Jonathan who died 26 Sep 1777 so that must be the first child.

Searching further back I couldn't find a marriage of Jonathan and Anne, so will have to search in the area of Cartmel when I have some more time to go back to Kendal.

I do have more to tell but not enough time to tell it now, will follow on soon
