Possibly that is down to the hearing of the Parish Clerk Mabel?

As to George's Death, he was alive in the 1871 census, and not showing as deceased in Alice's Marriage cert in 1876.

Thanks all for your help.

Possibly/probably (Bloomfield/Flatt):

Marriage of Eliza and George:
Parish Register: 31 July 1855 - Syleham, Suffolk
George Bloomfield of age bachelor occ lab res Syleham father Stephen Bloomfield occ lab
Eliza Flatt of age spinster res Syleham father Thomas Flatt occ lab
Witness: Betsy Richards - Witness: James Blois



Eliza gives her place of birth as Thorpe Abbots, Norfolk and her mother, Harriet, is living with them in 1861. Harriet is aging well!

Thanks Mabel.

The Flatman family is a bit more straightforward, and I think that the Blomfield family will be as well after we get past George's possible marriage/arrangement.

Eliza Flatman (Father John Flatman)
Charles Cooks  [possible Cocks - seems to use the surname Buck on censuses]

Marriage    25 Dec 1851 St. Mary, Redgrave With Botesdale,

Thanks for the reply.

They appear in the 1871 census down in Surrey and then vanish except for Alice's Wedding to William Dansey.

There are a couple of Eliza Deaths back in Suffolk that may be hers but I'll try workig that out later.

Thanks.

The marriage cert shows his Father as "deceased", no name, no profession. I don't know if this was John being evasive or not. He married away from Wormingford in Stapleford Abbotts.

At the Baptism of one of his children, the Father is named as Thomas.

I wonder if there are Church records that would show the parents' names, Banns were read.

John Dansey, born c 1811. Nicholas/Lydia were thought to be his parents, but their children are well documented in St. Andrews and elsewhere. I am aware of Robert Dansey in the 1831 census, but that is slightly mysterious to track down as well.

John is mentioned (as coming from Wormingford) in a couple of ploughing contests in the area, and in 1841 is in Hutton, then moves to Navestock, then Wanstead.

We just can't place him into Nicholas/Lydia's family, and the dna test suggested that the progenitor was earlier.

Thanks - Terry

p.s. all of Nicholas/Lydia's children stayed locally, John "migrated".

Good "evening".

Are there any Wormingford experts in this forum please?

My paternal family hails from Wormingford and after years of research, a dna test, and head scratching, I know which line I am related to, but not where our line (aka my GGG Grandfather) fits in to it.

I could do with some helpful Wormingford lateral thinking help please.

Thanks in advance - Terry

Suffolk / Another Blomfield.. this time George in Syleham
« on: Saturday 04 November 23 17:59 GMT (UK)  »
Hi.

My GGGrandmother Alice Blomfield was born in Syleham/Scole in Feb 1859.

Father George Blomfield, Mother Eliza Flatman.

There does not appear to be a marriage between them, although Eliza may have married Christopher Blomfield in 1851 (GRO cert on its way).

There is a Baptism in Feb 1859 for an Alice Blomfield, but the parents are said to be Henry and Mary?

To lose one parent... to lose both...

Can anyone assist please?

Thanks in advance - Terry

p.s. we have considered Christopher dying and George "taking over", but we can't find a death for him.
