Richard & Joane Coldridge of Doddiscombsleigh

Richard COLRIDGE, baptised in Dunsford in 1667, is the son of Richard & Grace COLDRIDGE of Dunsford. I have found no record of his marriage to Joane around 1685, but the Doddiscombsleigh parish register has records of the baptisms of their three daughters:

Joane COLRIDGE was baptised on 5th December 1687 daughter of Richard & Joane.

Elizabeth COLRIDGE was baptised on 30th May 1695, daughter of Richard Junr.

Joan COLRIDGE was baptised on 30th May 1699, daughter of Richard.

The Doddiscombsleigh parish register also has records of their daughters' burials:

Joan COLRIDGE was buried [aged 9] on 22nd August 1697, daughter of Richard Jun. [†]

Elizabeth COLRIDGE was buried [aged 10] on 3rd June 1705, daughter of Richard. [†]

It is probable that Richard's youngest daughter Joan also died in childhood since she is not mentioned in Richard's 1719 will according to J.T.H. DuBoulay.

Joan COLRIDGE was buried on 20th November 1695, wife of William.
