I query whether Thomas Bridges' birthplace is correct. I do not believe that Lucas reported Thomas' birthplace in his book. I have read another report which puts his birthplace as near Bristol. I no longer have the reference to that source. However, the UK census returns for the years from 1841 to 1881 inclusive do not have a Thomas Bridges, nor anyone with the surname Despard in Lenton. There is however a concentration of Despards in Clifton, Bristol but no Thomas or George Despard.
Thomas Bridges' marriage certificate gives his residence as Bristol but that would only have related to his residence during the period of the banns i.e. on return from south America. FHBridges (talk) 15:14, 4 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
