Here is the street named after us.

Stephen Liddard's Second Wife!

traceybendik — 2013-04-05 23:17:37Z

Hello to all the Liddards that come from Stephen Liddard 1776-1842

I have a copy of his will and he was married to Ann Burton after Ann Reeves.

Only his first 6 children were born to Ann Reeves:

Ann (1801-1802)
Stephen
Ann (named after the first child that died)
Eliza
Jane
Elizabeth

The rest were born to Ann Burton (no record that they ever married):

Caroline
Mary
Eleanor
Matilda
George
Fanny
Charles
Sarah

If any of you want to look at the will, send me a message and I will forward it to you.

If any of you were able to track down who Stephen's parents were, please share.

Also, we are in the process of doing a DNA test to see if Stephen Liddard's line is part of the Liddiard line. Will post our results when they come in.

My Mother's maiden name was Liddard. Her Father was Walter Liddard and they grew up in Aspden, Ontario. She always told us of a Street named after her family in Bracebridge. Her name was Vera Francis Liddard.

Stephen Liddard & Ann Reeves

traceybendik — 2012-08-07 18:43:24Z

Does anyone have any info on these 2? I know they were married June 1799, and all their children, etc. I am looking for his parents. He was born in 1776, who were his brothers, sisters, anything you have would be appreciated!

Re: I am a Liddard from Canada

traceybendik — 2012-04-21 19:19:57Z

Yes, he did marry Eliza Fary (that is the spelling on the marriage record). I have info on 2 girls they had, but didn't go any futher. So, they went off to New Zealand, cool!

Hi Brad,

I know your father, he is my cousin Dave. He contacted me after your mom told him that I had a daughter (guess your mom worked at the St.Mary's Hospital in Kitchener in 1989). It was your dad that told me that my father had died, as we were estranged from the family after my mom left my father George. He came to my house, and I went to your house where I saw a picture of your great grandfather. He had a BIG nose! Do you remember the picture? Glad we didn't inherit that!

Anyway, thanks for answering. I heard that you guys moved up north somewhere. Hope you and your family are well.

Hello, yes its been awhile. If you read the earlier posts, I was contacted by a brother I didn't know I had, and subsequesntly found out that there was at least one more that I didn't know either, but I haven't met him. I guess that's what happens when you shake the family tree. I picked through info over the years, but it isn't easy. My line can be traced from Stephen Liddard and Ann Reeves. They were married in 1799. Their son Charles William came to Canada and married Mary Diamond of Canning, Ontario (about 5 minute drive from my home in Paris Ontario. The Diamond family still lives here. I don't know them though. I do know I am related to a Dave Liddard.

What is your female ancestor's name? Did she come from Stephen and Ann's children? I have all their names and birthdates.

You can email me if you want, at t.bendik@hotmail.com

Thanks for contacting me Les!

Hello Tracey
Its been over 10 years since you posted this message and I am just wondering if you managed to find any more close relatives?
My mother was a Liddard before marriage and she was born in 1892 in London, she died in 1934.
I do not have any information of any of my related Liddards crossing over to Canada just Australia & New Zealand but there might have been some.
I would be interested to see how you got on after all these years that's if you ever receive this message.

wendymurphy_nz — 2011-08-31 20:37:53Z

hiagain -i should have noted on my first message that of course my mother's maiden name was Liddard. I now remember that Uncle Ken's (Ken Liddard) daughters were susan and gail (i think)and his wife was dorothy (called dot).
Brian was his youngest son. His other sons were Ken, Murray?? and ???. My Mother had connection with the Salvation Army through her great Aunt Ada who may have been a cameron and related to mum's cousin - a Colonel (salvation army colonel) Cameron who I think was the second highest salvation army officer in Canada at the time. I a very interested in the remaining liddard family that i knew . especially
Brian and his sisters. I am particularly interested in learning more about mum and Ken's father who I never knew. Thank you. wendymurphy_nz@hotmail.com

Re: Liddard family tree

Hi April, and all those interested in the Liddard family.

Not sure this will be off direct assistance, but my mother's mother was a Liddard before marring a 'Cook' from Peckham, South London. Before becoming a Cook, she was Elizabeth Liddard, born 11th Feb 1884 at 7 Marmaduke Place, John Street, near Cable St, St George in the East, East London. Her Father was John Richard Liddard (a Lighterman on the River Thames) born 1857, St George in the East, East London, and his wife was Elizabeth Liddard (formally; Connell, from Cork in Ireland). John Richard's father was James Robert Liddard (a Waterman / Lightermen on the River Thames), born 1815, also St Georges in the East, London and his wife was Hannah Liddard (formally; Bromley). I believe my Liddards all where born and lived around John Street (which no longer exsists, but the site off can be located between Ponier Street and just north of the current railway line crossing Cannon Street Road close to Cable Street). This site of Marmaduke Place and John Street is now covered by ocal authority flats.

Sorry that's as far back as I've got so far with my Liddard relatives, although I do have quite a few brothers and sisters from these three generations.

Thank you for the info. I will look for Baysville to see where it is. located. I have all the information on Eliza, birth: March 22 1874 in Toronto, On, Can.
death: June 18 1900 in Niagara Falls, On, Can. Married: June 4 1895 in Bracebridge, On. Can. Parents full names: Father Thomas William Fairy
Mother: Suzanne Maloney Crumby
This is all I have except if you want information on Charles and Eliza's children.
Talk to ya soon, April Hill

Re: Liddard family tree

2006-09-09 06:34:50Z

Kia Ora from New Zealand
I always put the name of the town/village that appear in my family tree into Google seeking a public library, local history society or genealogical society.
Baysville is a village /town obviously and has it's own library with an email address. I'd suggest you write to them. I know there's an entry for William Charles Liddard's wife Eliza Fairy's family. So you could seek a copy. I didn't ask about the Liddards but it's possible couple of them were born there so it might be worth a try.
I am trying to find descendants of Arretta RYCKMAN : Lucy May BRITTON both of whom settled in Bracebridge and George FAIREY who stayed in Baysville - Eliza Fairy's siblings
Cheers
Marlene

Re: Liddard family tree

2006-09-08 23:37:55Z

Thank you for the information.

Can i Help you with any information?

Where is Baysville Library? Is it in Bracebridge?

I would really like this information.

I am always looking for more information on my family History. Thank you April Hill

Re: Liddard family tree

2006-08-29 21:40:13Z

Kia Ora April
Since writing my earlier message I have tracked William Charles Liddard back to Stephen & Ann 's names on Charles William's marriage details. I did this out of interest only as some of the Family trees posted are not quite right!

As with any family tree you do have to watch brothers and cousins naming children with the same names about the same time!!

Eliza LIDDARD died in pregnancy in 1901 so that really ended my particular line with the Liddard family except for her children whom I now know about.

In Bracebridge was Aretta RYCKMAN with husband William and 12 kids!
Having been diverted into the Liddard line I now need to get back into sorting out the rest of the Fairy lineage!

Ask at Baysville Library for a copy of the article on Thomas Fairy -that will be easier than me sending it from New Zealand. In fact you can buy the whole book which might be of use to you with some of the Liddard Line as well. Ask the Librarian for advice as to the content..
Regards
Marlene

Re: Liddard family tree

2006-08-29 15:29:51Z

Yes this is my family tree.

I am very interested in the article about the fairy's and about Eliza Amy's sister who married in Bracebridge. Our family settled in Bracebride. There is a homestead which still stands today on Liddard street in Bracebridge. I live in Orillia so I am 30 mins. from Bracebridge. Please contact me. Thank you April-Lynn Hill (nee Liddard)

Re: I am a Liddard from Canada

2006-08-19 12:03:32Z

Kia Ora Linda from New Zealand
I had just replied to April then noticed your email. Did your William Charles Liddard marry Eliza Amy Fairey by any chance??

If so I have Eliza's family tree back to the 1760s if you're interested in swapping info. I would love a photo and any children as I am hoping to publish a book by 2008 for the 130th anniversary of my great grandmother's arrival in New Zealand.

Eliza's father and my great grandmother were 2nd cousins.
Hope to hear from you
Marlene

Re: Liddard family tree

2006-08-19 11:44:33Z

Kia Ora from New Zealand!
I have William Charles Liddard married to Eliza Amy Fairey 4 June 1895 Bracebridge Ontario.
Assuming the first names have been reversed at some time , is this likely to be your family?

Eliza Amy was my main interest as her family settled in Baysvillle and her father was related to my great grandmother who came to NZ in 1878.
There is an article about the Faireys in the Baysville Public Library which I have just got a copy of in the past week!
Eliza Amy 's sister also married in Bracebridge 2 years later.
Hope to hear from you - as I haven't got any children for this marriage yet.
Regards
Marlene

Re: Liddard family tree

sld124 — 2004-03-09 23:53:08Z

Do you have any further information on Charles William Liddard besides being born in England in 1835? Charles, and William are both common names throughout the Liddiard clan in the 1700 and 1800's. Do you have his fathers name? An area where he might have been born? When did he emigrate to Canada? Liddiard has been spelled many ways, children have had it spelled one way when christened and another way when married all and yet another way on the census. Illiteracy was normal in England until the 1881 Mundellas Education act, which made it compulsary for children between 5 - 10 years to go to school.

Re: Liddard family tree

sld124 — 2004-03-09 23:53:08Z

Where did you get your information on his birth? I looked at the Bracebridge 1891 census. Your Charles claims he was 52, if that was the case he was born about 1839. Do you have any documents from when he arrived in Canada?

Re: Liddard family tree

sld124 — 2004-03-09 23:53:08Z

I really think that you need to get the documents from when he arrived in Canada. With the dates and possible address' provided from England, you may be able to locate him on a census. The Liddiard/Liddard family seems to come from Wiltshire, I am expecting the Ramsbury Wiltshire BT's any day, but with so little information I doubt I will find anything, or what I do find will be the wrong information for your branch of the family as his parents names are very common.

Re: I am a Liddard from Canada

2004-01-29 21:47:17Z

My names Brad Liddard. Iam from Ontario and my dads and grandfathers names were both Dave.

Re: Liddard family tree

2003-10-07 00:32:37Z

How do I get the documents? Where do I go to get them?
I know he settled in Bracebridge. there is a street named Liddard Street and his homestead still stands today in Bracebridge.

I think Liddards and Liddiards are related in someway. I have heard that two brothers came over from England one brother settled in canada and one brother settled in the states. They changed their spelling of last name when they settled here from England. I'm just trying to find the connections.

Re: Liddard family tree

2003-09-29 17:10:16Z

I went to bracebridge and got alot of the information there. I also took a photo of the headstone. This is were I got the dates. I also have a cousin in Nova Scotia that has been doing research too. We e- mail on aonther. I have no documents when he arrived into canada.
