Hello There,
I came across a very probable Tydeman link while looking into my family tree at the Library, on Ancestry. co.uk:
One of my 4x Great Grandad's was baptised with the name of Robert Butcher, in Debenham, Suffolk, on the 24th of Feb 1810. His birth date was put down as the 5th of Feb 1810. His Mother's name was listed as Susan Butcher. But the Father's name was not given.
However, I found something on the National Archives via another family tree that has Robert Butcher in it. It's reference on the National Archives is: FB47/G8/72.
The record stated that William Tydeman was a Farmer of Debenham, and was:
"Bound in £100, to indemnify the parish from the maintenance of a male child born to Susan Butcher". It appears to be dated 26 Oct 1810.
I had a look, and it seems this William Tydeman was born sometime in 1793, in Suffolk. Most of the trees I have seen, seem to state he was the child of Jonathan Tydeman (1764 -1833) and Elizabeth Robinson (1767 - 1855). I cannot seem to find a date of marriage for these two.
William Tydeman married Margaret Leggett on the 27th of June 1815,in Gislingham, Suffolk.
In the 1841 Census, William is in Stoneham, Suffolk, with Margaret and family. His Mother Elizabeth (nee Robinson) also appears to be in the household.
In the 1851 Census, he appears to be a Gardener. His date of birth has been transcribed on Family Search as 1800. But looking on the original Image on Find My Past, he is 57 years old, and place of birth reads: "Little Stonham" The old Elizabeth Tydeman is also there again, down as aged 84. Her place of birth has been put down as what looks like: "Brockford, Suffolk".
On the 1861 Census, William is a Master Gardener. William died I think in Stonham Parva, in early 1871, before the Census was done.
I wander if anyone else on here has these Tydeman's in their family tree?
Thank you.
