my Grandfather Edmund Tegerdine 1854-1913 kept the White Horse Moulton Seas End from about the year 1894 he having been the landlord of the plank hook and shovel there previously.He split up with his wife Mary Jane[ Woods] 1853-1927 in 1896 and was joined there by my Grandmother Mary Frances Pordham 1870-1949. They left in 1900 to take on Lockspits farm, Redmere, Burnt Fen near Littleport. I have a photograph of Mary Frances Pordham with her 6 month old daughter Mary Ethel Pordham taken circa September 1897 in the pub’s back yard. From Martin W. Tegerdine.
Hi Martin, my name is Emma Tegerdine. I am married to Jamie Tegerdine. I have just started researching the Tegerdine family tree as we have two daughters and I think it is such an interesting name. I have got stuck at Jacob Tegerdine (b.1809) who was Jamie’s great, great, great, great grandfather. It sounds like you know a lot about it. A couple of sites suggest that Jacob’s parents were James and Jane, however it doesn’t quite seem to stack up. Is there any chance that you could help me put the next piece of the puzzle together please? Thank you! Emma
Hello Emma, I have only just tonight found your response to my posting my grandfather Edmund Tegerdine’s [1854–1913] brief history when he kept the White Horse pub, Moulton–seas–end, Lincolnshire circa 1896–1900. He left his wife Mary Jane Woods by 1898 [she became fond of the drink and found the keys to the tap room which had been hidden from her]. He met my grandmother in 1897 and they left for a 400 acre farm in Burnt fen in 1900. Of Edmund’s ten children my father William Pordham Tegerdine was the last born on 10 Jan. 1905. He had a very long life, dying on 9 September 1997, Lowestoft, Suffolk. You are indeed correct in saying that Edmund’s father Jacob Tegerdine [1809] was a son of James Tegerdine born 1854, Wisbech St Mary. Over the past 40 years I have researched and compiled the whole world tree back to one French–speaking Walloon couple. John Tegredin arrived in England circa 1635 and was found in Sir Cornelius Vermuyden’s land drainage colony in the Isle of Axholme, Yorkshire. He married Marie Burette in the Anglican church St Pancras, Wroot, Lincolnshire in 1639. I would be pleased to share my whole tree with you. From Martin W. Tegerdine.
Hello Emma, I FOUND YOUR MESSAGE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO BUT COULD NOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO REPLY UNTIL NOW. BELIEVE IT OR NOT [IMPOSSIBLE IN THE TIMESPAN] JACOB TEGERDINE, BORN IN 1809, THOLOMAS DROVE, WISBECH ST MARY, CAMBRIGESHIRE, WAS MY GREAT GRANDFATHER. HE MARRIED ANN SUSANNAH ESTHORPE ON 30 OCTOBER 1832, WISBECH ST M. WHAT IS MORE I HAVE THEIR ORIGINAL MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE WRITTEN WITH QUILL PEN. Their youngest of 8 sons [no daughters] was Edmund Tegerdine 1854 Wisbech St M.—–1913 Pakefield Hall Farm, Lowestoft, Suffolk. His youngest son was William Tegerdine 1905, Burnt Fen, Cambridgeshire–9 September 1997, Lowestoft, Suffolk. I am his eldest son Martin W. Tegerdine born 1944, Lowestoft. From what you say, and without looking at my records are you connected to Nicholas John Tegerdine of Nottingham who I believe was the son of John Stanley Tegerdine of Manthorpe near Bourne, Lincolnshire?. Then your branch is descended from Edmund’s older brother Abraham Tegerdine 1841–1910, Holbeach. I was lucky in obtaining yet another brother’s Victorian photo album, that of Mark Tegerdine 1849–1925, March, Cambridgeshire. In that album is portrayed Abraham taken circa 1887, Hunstanton, Norfolk. Going back to Jacob 1809, he was a son of James Tegerdine 1784–1852, a publican and victualler of Tholomas Drove and his wife Jane Etherington. James was a son of William Tegerdine 1747–1828, Wisbech St M. and his wife Mary Leverington. William was a son of Pierre Tegredin 1700–1747, Thorney, Cambridgeshire and his wife Miriam Culy or Cuvelier circa 1710–1788. Pierre was a son of Jean Tegredin circa 1648, Kent–1714 Thorney and Susan Cattieaux, born 1664, Thorney French Colony. Jean Tegredin was the son of Jean Tegredine 1st born circa 1610, Calais area, France who died 1655, Thorney. Jean Tegredin 1st married Marie Burrette in 1639 Wroot, St Pancras church, Lincolnshire and a daughter Jenne Tegardine was baptized there in 1641. They returned to Maidstone in Kent in 1641 and Jean and Marie had a second marriage there in 1654 in the Walloon church. A daughter Anne Burrette Tegredin was baptized at Maidstone Walloon church in 1654. The family, complete with another daughter Marie, walked back north to Thorney where Jean Tegredin 1st died in May 1655 shortly after arriving there at the French Colony. For 250 years the family lived in a circle around Thorney, Spalding, Holbeach and Wisbech St Mary the latter being the family stronghold. They used several different surname spellings including Tiggerdine, Tigerdine, Tegardine, Teggardine. After about 1830 the Wisbech St Mary Parish Clerk, schoolmaster and later registrar of births, marriages and deaths, John Bull regularised the name as Tegerdine. There is one Tigerdine left at Spalding; all of the Tiggerdines have died out but one family exists in Scotland bearing that name via a Tiggerdine from Lincolnshire who settled there. For forty years I have researched the whole world Tegerdine tree back to the Thorney couple. I have completed my work and hope shortly to publish together with the many photos I have obtained. I can of course, let you have a copy of my tree and I do still look for more family information. From Martin W. Tegerdine.
Hi Martin.
I came across this post randomly. My family has a branch of the Tegerdine’s and some names you mention in this post are found in my family tree also. Sarah Ann Tegerdine is my great great grandmother she married John Lupton. Her parents were James Tegerdine and Sarah Mitchell.
