Hi Ludlowlad
I am a direct descendant of the Ward End Pardoe’s; my great grandfather Herbert was born in Ludlow, and moved to Birmingham with his brother John, who live in the house next door.
Herbert was married to Martha Martin and they had about 15 children. They lived for a short item in Cleobury Mortimer 8 New Road before moving to Birmingham.
One of the more famous Pardoe’s was Tommy the boxer, who won the amateur flyweight championship of Britain 20 March 1920 and defended the title a further five time. Tommy also represented Great Britain in the 1932 Olympic game, winning a bronze medal.
Herbert Pardoe was an entrepreneur, he had a sand pit on his land in Ward End and sold sand to Walsall Council. He also converted old busses into caravans for holidays.
I have traced about 94 Pardoe’s, and I know there are still Pardoe’s in Ludlow, however I only work on the family tree on a casual basis.
Of you have any other questions, please ask

hello MORTURN
Yes, we are related. From way back in the 1790s Samuel Pardoe married a Mary ? They had a son Samuel b 6-9-1795, and it is from him that my branch of the family begins.
Samuel had a brother James, b 29-11-1799 and as you probably know, he starts your family line. I know very little about Herbert and Martha other than they were born in Ludlow, then moved to Cleobury Mortimer.
I am very interested in them, also I would be pleased to try and answer any questions you might have. Regards, Ludlowlad.
