Herbert
Edward
BURRIDGE
[
Parents
].
Born
31/7/1858
in
St
Pancras,
London
and
baptized
30/12/1860
in
Holy
Trinity
Church,
Camden.
Herbert
died
1932
in
Wandsworth,
age
73.
The
first
name
given
for
the
birth
registration
was
Herbert,
but
the
name
given
at
baptism
was
Albert,
a
name
he
used
throughout
his
life.
It
was
used
in
all
his
census
records
and
to
register his death.
In
1878,
when
Herbert
was
age
about
20,
he
married
Mary
Ann
Louise
STRACHAN
in
St
Giles
in
the
Fields,
London.
Mary
Ann
Louise
was
born
about
1864
in

was
just
14
when
she
presumably
lied
about
her
age
and
married.
Her
first
census
as
a
married
woman,
in
1881,
gives
her
age
as
20
(she
was
17)
but
the
1891,
1901
and
1911
censuses
record
her
age
as
27,
37,
47
respectively,
all
of
which
are
consistent
with
an
1864
birth.
