Edward Storey’s, The Winter Fens, chapter two, records an interview with Jack [John} Kerridge, (1916-1997.)

The Kerridge family moved from Norfolk to Ely during the agricultural depression of 1840. James Kerridge of South Lopham, Norfolk, came with his wife Mary,  née Leeder, to Littleport, where they had nine children.

The youngest son, Michael, b 1861, married Eliza Sallis, b 1863, of Littleport.  They went on to have 11 children of their own. One of these was Horace Ernest Kerridge, b 1888 who married Annie May Henson, b 1861. These were Jack’s parents.
