Biography

Bridget Cordray was the daughter of William Cordray of Chute, Wiltshire and his wife Bridget, daughter of Edward Goddard.^[1][2] She was baptised at Chute on 24 September 1692.^[1][2][3]

Bridget married Samuel Ironmonger/Iremonger of Donningron, Berkshire. The licence for their marriage, at Chute, Wiltshire, was dated 23 July 1628.^[1][2][4] They had the following children:

• Bridget,^[1][2] named as eldest daughter in her father's will^[5] and baptised at Chute, Wiltshire on 3 May 1629^[6]
• Samuel,^[1][2] who was baptised at Chute, Wiltshire on 29 July 1630,^[7] and who died before 3 February 1639/40 when his father was granted administration of his estate (the young Samuel had been left £20 in the will of his uncle William Corderoy and that was presumably why his father obtained the grant of administration)^[8]
• William,^[1][2] named as eldest (surviving) son in his father's will^[5]
• Elizabeth, named in her father's will,^[5], who was baptised at Shaw, Berkshire on 24 March 1631/2^[8] and who married Anthony Evernden^[1][2]
• Anne,^[1][2] named in her father's will,^[5] who was baptised at Shaw, Berkshire on 28 March 1633/4 and buried on 17 August 1674 at St Botolph's, Bishopsgate, London^[8]
• Francis,^[1][2] baptised at Shaw, Berkshire on 17 June 1634/5^[8] and named in his father's will^[5]
• Eleanor,^[1][2] named in her father's will,^[5] who was baptised at Shaw, Berkshire on 9 January 1636/7^[8]
• Martha, named in her father's will,^[5] who married Robert Jones^[1][2] and who may have been born in about 1638^[8]
• Margaret,^[1][2] named in her father's will,^[5] possibly born about 1640^[8]
• Corderoy,^[1][2] probably born in 1643 or 1644: his father's 1643 will does not name him but says that his mother was with child when the will was signed^[5]

Bridget's husband made his will on 6 July 1643; it was proved on 28 October 1650, and she was granted probate, so she survived her husband and was widowed by then.^[5] Her death date is not known.

Research Notes

Previously-shown Daughter

Catherine, whose profile is unsourced (as at 3 November 2023) and who is said to have been born in Virginia, has previously been shown on WikiTree as daughter of Bridget and her husband. There is no evidence for this, and there is nothing to suggest that Bridget ever went to Virginia.

This profile was re-reviewed for the Magna Carta Project by Michael Cayley on 3 November 2023.

Bridget (Corderoy) Ironmonger is listed in Magna Carta Ancestry in a Richardson-documented trail from the Iremonger Gateway Ancestors (Martha, William and Francis) to Magna Carta Surety Baron William Malet (vol. II, pages 459-460 IREMONGER) that was badged by the Magna Carta Project in 2015. This profile also appears in badged trails from the Iremongers to surety barons Saher de Quincy and Robert de Vere. These trails are set forth in the Magna Carta Trails section of her sister, Anna Cordray's profile.

See Base Camp for more information about identified Magna Carta trails and their status. See the project's glossary for project-specific terms, such as a "badged trail".
