Badingham and Witherstead

[Mercian7]

Hi

I have a bit of a mystery. One of my ancestors Daniel Pead was baptised in Badingham but in the only census which mentions a birthplace (1851) it has his birthplace as Witherstead or Wetherstead. I cannot find any mention of either spelling as a place near Baddingham.

Of course he might have lied on the census but I wondered if any of you with local knowledge of the Badingham/Laxfield area have ever come across any mention of either birth place?

many thanks
John

Where have you got details of the baptism at Badingham?   Who were his parents?

I cannot find his baptism online at all.

I have looked at the original 1851 census.

The ending of ..... stead is most unusual in the county of Suffolk. We only have Harkstead, Hawstead, Henstead, Nettlestead, Stanstead Whepstead and Wherstead - unless anyone can think of any others?

If you say Witherstead our loud with a Suffolk twist, it can sound most like 'Withrinsett' (that is, Wetheringsett-cum-Brockford to give it its full name).

However, that is not a parish close to 'Baddigham'!
