Henry REDCAY
Lydia BICHER

WARNING: Secondary sources are mixing up this Lydia BICHER with the one who married William MEILY and with the one who married Richard JONES. These are three different women!

Husband: Henry REDCAY
Birth: 9 Aug 1809, Berks Co., PA
Death: 9 Jun 1890, presumably in Adamstown Borough, Lancaster Co., PA
Occupation: butcher
Father: Elias REDCAY (1782-1867)
Mother: Sarah HARNER

Marriage:

Wife: Lydia BICHIR / BICHER
Birth: 22 Feb 1817, Lancaster Co., PA
Baptism: 25 Apr 1818, East Cocalico Twp., Muddy Creek Reformed Church, Lancaster Co., PA
Death: 6 Aug 1898, presumably in Adamstown Borough, Lancaster Co., PA
Occupation: homemaker
Father: John BICHER (1791-1847)
Mother: Catharine SCHNEIDER (1794-1852)

Some secondary sources show Lydia born in 1811, but all four censuses (1850, 1860, 1870, and 1880) show Lydia as born in 1817 or 1818. My guess is someone misread her tombstone or some other document.
