Birth & Baptism

Judith's origins are unknown and it is not even certain that her surname at birth was "Bridge". If that was her surname at birth than 1594 in Suffolk is a reasonable estimate of her birth.

Marriage & Children

John Ffyrmin married Judith Bridge 3 Jun 1614 at St. Nicholas, Ipswich, Suffolk, England (also transcribed as 23 Jun 1614 on freereg)[1] Ipswich is about 12 miles from Nayland and was possibly Judith's home parish as it was common for the marriage to occur at the bride's parish when the couple was from different locations.

Per Anderson's entry for John Firmin (spelling varies) in his "Great Migration" series[2] they had 3 children baptized at Nayland:

  1. ELIZABETH bp. 27 April 1615;[3] possibly m. by 1639 Richard Beers of Watertown,
  2. JOHN (twin), by first wife, bp. 10 February 1617/8; bur. 18 May 1625[4]
  3. JUDITH (twin), by first wife, bp. 10 February 1617/8; no further record[4]

Death

Judith was buried at Nayland, Suffolk on 24 Feb 1617/18 as "wife of John Fyrmin" so this is assumed to be her burial record as there was no other marriage of John Fyrmin recorded in the parish at the time and her widowed husband married Susan Bush Warrick/Warwick, widow of Roger at Nayland on 30 June 1618.[5]
