George Biddlecombe b. 1793
George Biddlecombe was born on 24th April 1793 to Joseph Biddlecombe and Mary Biddlecombe nee Boon
Birth and Baptism
Using the Dorset OPC for the Parish of Thorncombe;
22-Nov-1807; Joseph BIDDLECOMBE (born 23-Sep-1791) son of the late Joseph BIDDLECOMBE & Mary his wife
22-Nov-1807; George BIDDLECOMBE (born 24-Apr-1793) son of the late Joseph BIDDLECOMBE & Mary his wife
Both Joseph and George were baptised together on 22 November 1807, some 26 years after the baptism of John in 1781. At a time when the majority of baptisms were of infants it is a surprise that Joseph was 16 years, 2 months old and George was 14 years, 6 months, 30 days old at date of their baptisms. Noting that Joseph died before 22 November 1807, was he perhaps the reason for the delay in their baptism.
Joseph and George Biddlecombe baptism record. On the same page William son of George Pomeroy and Betty daughter of Richard Bailey, both surnames of interest to me.
