Bainbridge

The Bainbridge branch starts with Isabel BAINBRIDGE ⁽¹¹²⁹⁾, who married Henry REMINGTON⁽¹¹²⁸⁾ at Kirkby Lonsdale, Westmorland, on 22 Jun 1769¹.

Her death on 25 Oct 1812, aged 78, and burial on 29 Oct are recorded in the parish register of St Wilfrid's Church, Melling². Based on her given age at death, she would have been born around 1734. I have so far found no suitable record of her baptism and so do not know who her parents were. According to Burkes Landed Gentry (1871) Isabel Bainbridge or Bainbrig came from Kirkby Lonsdale in Westmorland.

She and Henry REMINGTON had just one child, Reginald REMINGTON⁽¹⁰⁹⁾ (1770-1854)³, who was born in about 1770. The reason for this is that Henry died not long after Reginald was born, and there is a story⁴ that Isabel went back to her mother in Kirkby Lonsdale after Henry's death in 1771, leaving her infant son Reginald in the care of his four maiden aunts. For more about this, see the Reginald REMINGTON page.

Presumably Henry died intestate, for on 25 Jan 1772 Isabel and others signed a bond requiring Isabel, as administratrix, to draw up an inventory of Henry's estate within one year, and to present the account to the Consistory Court at Richmond (Yorkshire). Her signature below is from that document.

1) Familysearch, based on FHL film 1471664, one of four films covering the parish registers of the parish church of Kirkby Lonsdale, Westmorland, and associated chapels from original records at the Cumbria Record Office, Kendal. This particular film contains: Marriages, 1754-1812; Baptisms, marriages, 1813-1901; Burials, 1813-1910.
2) The entry in the 1812 burial register, on FHL film 1849660 reads: Isabel Remington widow of the parish of Kirkby Lonsdale died Oct^r25^th & buried Oct^r. 29^th aged 78 yrs. There is another entry based on FHL film 97387, one of four films of Bishop's Transcripts, but the Familysearch transcription contains some obvious errors.
