Yes, that's it!, no idea what became of her...

Chris :)

Chris I think this is the thread you were referring to.

On image Bridget is in roughly middle of list for 1689, followed by a line, then begins 1690 Baptisms.

Chris :)

For Rostherne Parish on the above site - under baptisms at St Mary's there are only two Bridget Masseys

1. Bridget daughter of George Massey, gent of Denfield, bap 1654/0/0

2. Bridget daughter of Mr Richard Massey of Denfield, 1690/01/05

Both named I presume after their gm / mother - Bridget Pershall who married George Massey of Denfield in 1648.

It is the second one am trying to track down. And whose siblings went to Liverpool.

thank you

Must be another 'Thread' relating, remember looking at Baptism image, was 1689 5th Jan. (Find My Past. Cheshire)

I dont think any of these people you noted are connected.

Bridget Massey was baptised at St Mary, Rostherne, Cheshire, 5 Jan 1690.
Richard Massey was her father.

There are several females of this name, Massey being one of the commonest names in Cheshire - its place of origin in the UK.

So without some sort of connection or further information its hard to be sure.
I am not familiar with Liverpool Records, But she is not mentioned in any of the Wills. so may be died early? either in Cheshire or Lancashire.

thank you for looking.

I am looking for the eldest Bridget, sister to these 5 who was born in 1690.baptised at St Mary Rostherne.

cannot find marriage or burial.

At some point three sisters , children of Jeffrey Massey of Rostherne, nieces of the above join them.

b. Dolly (dorothy) Massey born 1741 died Liverpool - Will
