Hi Barbara
There were in fact 4 children born, of which John Liddle is the father.The mother was Ruth Richey b1791.
There were:
Ruth b1820
Elizabeth b1821
John b1826
Joseph b1828
All were born in Cox Close, Lamesley, Whickham, Durham
Sadly Ruth died in 1837 aged only 46.John then went on to marry Maximillienne Babbage, like you said in 1839, from France.
I cant find any information as to wheteher they had any children but accordiing to the census they didnt..
There was talk amongst the family that Maximillienne did have a child outside of wedlock,and the father was the head of the household at Ravensworth where she worked as the school governess. John Liddell was the gardener there....
The child was apparently brought up by the Liddell family, as one of their own, living at Ravensworth and hushed up.
How much of this is true i havent a clue, and there is no documentation to prove it. But you know how family stories get handed down, bits addded here....
From which part of the Liddell family do you descend from??
