Re: Paul and Sarah Bridson (nee Clarke), Douglas

Sorry Heather, I don't. I have William Bridson & Mary Hogg only as parents of Paul Bridson b 1836 Douglas but nothing else.

I have a William Bridson bp 21 Dec 1799 St Mathews Douglas, s/o Paul Bridson (buried 8 Aug 1820 Braddan age 53, a Merchant of Douglas) & Mary Ridgway (buried 13 May 1817 Braddan age 45). Both Paul & Mary left wills that are transcribed and available in the Lawson Will index. This William might be the one who married Mary Hogg, but I haven't checked it out. Paul's 1820 will mentions a son named William amongst 8 others, so that's a positive sign.
