NOTE: This is a TEMPORARY WEBSITE ONLY, and is meant as a stopgap until the Main Website has been updated. Some of the notes are incomplete and many of the links will not work. There is still much data to add and conflicts to settle.

This tree has been compiled with the help of many contributors. Sincere thanks to all, and apologies to those whose information has not yet been added.

I have tried to verify as much information as possible but errors may exist. Individuals with uncertain details have a (see notes) label attached to their name.

If photos exist, they will be found in the individual's Scrapbook. Click the "ScrapBook" link in the left menu for a list. Scrapbooks can only contain a limited amount of text so I am now adding more presentable feature pages containing notes, photos and links. These pages are shown to the right of their Scrapbooks, but are presently very few. NOTE: The Main Menu (Top Left) will not work when you are in a scrapbook. You will have to use your browser's BACK button to exit or use the "Exit Scrapbook" link below or here.

Details and photos of individuals labelled as living are automatically filtered out of the Tree, however a separate list is available here for living people who have permitted or asked for their details to be published.

If you do find errors, conflicts or would like to update your line please let me know. Webmaster

NOTE: The servant, Emily Frances Colwell, was my great grandmother. Her parents are 8 entries previous in the 1881 census.

Emily married Edward James Thomas Bridgen in 1891. His father, Edward Bridgen, was a warder in the prison between 1864 & 1871 (possibly much longer). It would appear that Emily met Edward via her master, John Astridge, the governor of the prison. Edward senior's brother, George Bridgen, was also a dispenser of medicine at the prison.

Another of Edward senior's brothers was Charles Bridgen a dentist (possibly at the prison). Two of Charles' daughters, Caroline & Elizabeth, married the brothers, Thomas Ernest Boyd Broadbent & Frederick Holdsworth Broadbent, whose younger brother was Edward Gerald Broadbent, husband of Harriett Kate Astridge. (John's daughter)

Their sister, Mary Theresa Broadbent, married Francis Jerome Palmes in 1881, who was 14th great grandson of King Edward III of England.
