If you look at the end of Rosemary's letter which follows you will note the listing of the family of Henry T and Eliza Jenkins. From Rosemary's notes one could conclude it was Titheridge... however, see above and click here

Dear Mr. Tidridge,

Your entry in the August, 1986 HGS journal caught my eye as I too am interested in the name Titheridge. My connection seems to be in Southampton and dates back to the marriage of John Tithridge and Mary Tucker on 9^th October, 1768. John and Mary were my great grandparents by 4. My line is from them as follows:
John Tithridge to Mary Tucker their children were: (For more information on John and Mary click here)
Mary born/bap(tized) 1770 m(arried) John Cooper 1789
Sarah b(orn) 1772 m(arried)Paul Diaper 1791
Anne b(orn) 1773 m(arried) Robert Giles 1794
Elizabeth b(orn) -1782 m(arried) James Wheeler 1806
John b(orn) 1784 1. m(arried) Harriet Diaper 1807 2. m. ? Jane?

According to John's will date 1824 all of his five children had issue.
Anne Tithridge married Robert Giles 22^nd November, 1794 their children included Anne Giles bap(tised)/born. 1797 who married Thomas Gibbens in 1818.

The children of Anne Giles and Thomas Gibbens included:
Celia Gibbens born 1838 or 1840 who married Robert Tribbekk in May 1862.
The children of Celia Gibbens and Robert Tribbekk include my grandmother Rose Tribbekk, born 1870.

Unfortunately my time for searching any of the names I am interested in is very limited and I have not gone far into the Titheridge line. However, if you do not know already, you may be interested that the Wills index in the Hampshire Records Office at Winchester includes three Titheridges. The earliest is that of Annae T. (presumably latinised Anne) of Kilmeston dated 1730. On asking for sight of this will I was told it seems to be missing which is very disappointing. I was fortunate to obtain the will of John Titheridge mentioned above which is dated 1824, and was proved in 1825. If you have not already got this, and think it would be useful I would send you a copy which I would have to obtain from the HRO. Lastly, the Index refers to the will of Daniel of Kilmeston dated 1844, who was apparently a tailor. Again I would be pleased to get you a copy if you would find it helpful.

I daresay you are familiar with the geography of Hampshire and will know that Kilmeston is a small village a few miles south of Cheriton, which in turn is a few miles south of Alresford. I enclose a sketch plan in case you are not familiar.

To go back to my ancestor John. His will indicated that four of his children were alive at his death:
Sarah the wife of Paul Diaper had died some years earlier.
Also Mary his wife had died in 1817 aged 74.
John himself was a mariner, owned his own fishing smack and lived to the good age of 85. He was based at the east side of Southampton water - an area which has now been swallowed up and is probably better known as the district of Woolston.

I see that another HGS member, Mr. V.F .L. Grevitt (No. 1458) of 45 Holmwood Road, Chessington, KT9 lQU is also interested in the name Tithridge at Swanmore, Hampshire, circa 1830. No doubt we shall both be contacting Mr. Grevitt about our common interest in the Titheridges. Please keep me in mind if you come across anything of interest, and I will do the same.

To conclude here are a few other Titheridges I have come across :
Elizabeth T bap(tised) 6 April, 1828 Dau(ghter). of John T. Labourer and Sarah (Meonstoke parish Records:
Frances T m(arried) 18 Sept. 1785 to John Silly (sp(ecial) licence) Twyford Parish
Henry T m(arried) 27, July 1828 to Eliza Jenkins, All Saints, Southampton children include:
Henry Bap(tised) 28 June 1829
James Bap(tised) Sept 1830
Sarah Anne Nov 1834
Henry Sr, was a painter and lived at 14 Cross Street, Southampton
John. T. married 24 December 1789 to Mary Berry, Twyford Parish records.

Good hunting.

Yours sincerely,

Miss Rosemary Cole.
