Please can someone take a look for the parents of Catherine Bickerdike born 1842 in Thirsk. She married Henry Terry in 1874. She later married Joseph Richardson after Henry had died.

There is however a Catherine Paulina Bickerdike born in York this is not her. This one is on the 1851 census with parents James( a wine merchant) and Ann and she married a John Dodds Fryer.

Many thanks


Edit, I cannot find her on census until she is married to Henry Terry

Are you sure about the date of birth? there is this one but I can't see one in 1842

If they are the correct people then she is not a Bickerdike:


TERRY, BENJAMIN CREED

I have just checked and they definitely had a daughter Mary. That census states 1842 but who knows Rose

The birth for Mary shows Bickerdike as mother so the sons to a previous marriage for Henry?

Possible for Henry in 1871 so prev married and the sons ties in?

Reading back Henry Terry was married to Mary Ann Creed before Catherine. She is mother to the boys Benjamin and Joshua and died in 1874 so he did not waste time remarrying

If the one born 1853 possibly this one in 1871??
