It is possible that two more girls belong to this family (Robert Brydges and Ann Shaw)   They fit into the

interval between Robert and Ann's marriage in 1833 and the birth of Frances in 1838.   The confirmation

records for St. James Church, Carleton Place, in 1852, include Amelia Brydges, age 19, and Anne

Brydges, age 17.   That would make Amelia's birth in 1834 and Anne's in 1836.   There is no proof for

this conjecture.

Robert Brydges and Ann Shaw were married in October 1833, and the baptismal record shows their

first daughter, Frances was born in 1838.   That is four and a half years after the marriage, an unlikely,

though not impossible, lapse of time in pioneer days between marriage and the arrival of the first child.

There is no further record available about Amelia, but there is more information about the marriage and

family of an Ann Brydges --- see Ann Brydges #1
