On the chance that you may check this board from time to time, I may be able to provide some help.
While researching branches of my Gilbert ancestry, I have links with an Elizabeth Gilbert who married John Bridgland 1728 in Aylesford, Kent. My research on this line is, for now, in the early stsages, and as yet I have only two daughters confirmed by parish register baptisms to this couple. However, their wills do refer to at least one grandchild of John, so there must have been male children as well which I have not yet located.
These Gilbert lines involve families in Linton, Hunton, Marden and East Peckham, and are bequeathed to in the Bridgland wills.
Chances are the Bridgland's you are looking for may be in this line. You can email me directly at [email protected]
