I think that should be
23 Dec 1809 Frederick William Lankshear BRIDGMAN s William & Susanna
Witney St Mary Events
1838 1 Jul BRIDGMAN Fredrick fa, ba, baker, s. William, lab
FLEXNEY Marlin fa, sp, d. Edward, spinner
Wits: Thos FLEXNEY, Ruth FLEXNEY?
Witness
1831 7 Dec SPERING Ephraim PEARCE Maria
Wits: Frederick W.R. BRIDGMAN, Eliza (X) SPERRING
Again its a typed transcript not the original writing
Note Frederick W R - very easy to confuse L with R so I think that indicates he
was FWL Bridgman.
Except he seems to be just Frederick from then but per census with Marlin he
must be the man bapt 1809 Charlbury
except see death 1896 William Frederick BRIDGMAN
Census 1841 to 1891

I think this reinforces that Fred is son of the Susanna who is the Aunt of
1835 William Lankshear
marriage to Charlotte Wiggins
William was a baker and I think Fred worked for him. Wm dies 1844 and Fred is
into wool by 1851
Plus I assume Mary Wiggins is a sister of Charlotte. see baptism 1841 13 Jun
WIGGINS Thomas s. Mary - the families seem very close
