This page contains some notes on a family whose origins we are researching. At present we know very little about their early history, but we hope that by publishing this summary here we can make contact and exchange data with people who can tell us more or who can point us in the right direction to continue our own research.
The Liddon family were living in London when census records began, but were at one time in Dorset. We are interested in the following generations of people who bore this surname:
John Liddon (no details known) and Sarah Bent (1780 - 1854)
Thomas Liddon (1820 - 1854) and Charlotte Jeffreys (1822 - 1900)
Sarah Liddon (1847 - 1920) and Richard Allison (1849 - 1932)
John Liddon was married in 1814 in Melcombe Regis, now part of Weymouth in Dorset, but we have not found his baptism or burial. Sarah Bent originally came from Kingswinford in Staffordshire. Thomas Liddon was born in Weymouth but later lived in Chelsea, London. Thomas died young, and Charlotte later married Robert John Percival. Sarah Liddon's two brothers emigrated to Canada.
