Have found a Birth on BMD for a William George Plumb June qtr 1854 reg Wangford 4a 670.   Wangford is in Suffolk not far from the coast at Southwold. You mentioned Ship Meadow so it sounds possible.

Only two probable 1871 Census
William Plumb   Servant aged 18  Ag Lab  born Cambs?Huh??
with Thomas Hunt (Farmer) at Cowbit Bank, Spalding Lincs

and
William Plumb 15 NEPHEW   Ag lab  Born Brinkley
with Uncle
William Plumb Head 64  Ag Lab   born Brinkley
Mary       "                56           
At The Street Brinkley, Cambs

Location not great but Brinkley is near Newmarket  which is now Suffolk as is Bungay.

another Birth
Sept qtr 1855 reg Newmarket 3b 475.

Also 1871

Hi Pam,
Thank you so much for the information you have passed on to me. I think the William born in the Wangford area is the correct one as thats the sort of area most of the Plumbs originated from. I'll keep the two Williams from the 1871 census, on file, and see if I can match either of them.
Thanks again.
Regards, Joan

Just a thought  Smiley

Shipmeadow, whilst being a small, scattered village with a population of around 250 in the mid 1800s, was also home to the Wangford Union Workhouse.  At the same time there were about 135 inmates included in that number (there was room for 450 inmates).

Hi SM,
I expect a lot of the Plumbs were living in the Workhouse at Shipmeadow as I think most of them were quite poor. Thank you for the information you sent about it, its always interesting to hear about the history of these places.
