Tagg in Thames Ditton, Surrey

[DebbieAnn]

I am looking for information (exact birth and 2nd marriage dates) on John Tagg b: abt 1761 in Thames Ditton. John Tagg is my gr-gr-gr-gr-grandfather.

I would also like to find out for certain who his parents were. He married twice, first to Susanna Crouch (m: 3 Feb 1777, Esher) and then to Susannah Silvester, who had been previously married to Richard Saunders.

In addition to John's parentage, I would like to know if there is a record of the first wife's death - it would have occurred between 1782, when her last child was born, and 1786, when John married his second wife in Southwark.

Susannah Silvester (b: 23 Jan 1763, Mitcham) had a child by her first husband (m: 11 Aug 1782, Mitcham) by the name of Liddy Saunders (b: 3 Jun 1783, Beddington). I have no further information on Liddy. I would like to know if she ever married and when she died.

Thank you so much to anyone who can help!

Did you know that there is a Tagg's Island in the Thames near Thames Ditton?

Hello DebbieAnn,

I hope this may help.

IGI Pilot Search has a burial at Merton, Surrey for a Lydia SAUNDERS on 30th July 1851. It might be worth a look, Merton is just down the road from Mitcham and Beddington. It would mean she was in her late sixties and unmarried when she died.

This looks like the death on freebmd:

Sep 1851 SAUNDERS Lydia Croydon 4 87
