WADE/HARRINGTON - Cavendish, Suffolk

[elizasutton]

Hi there,
I am looking for information on Elizabeth Wade Harrington b1810 in Cavendish. She was married to James Cattell Morton in 1836 Chelmondiston.
I have found all their census records but cannot find any sources relating to her birth, parents or marriage.
I know that in 1819 she was living in a village called Pertenhall in Suffolk thanks to a sampler that she made that is still in the family. I have only been able to find reference to this place once - in the 1841 census, after that I cannot find any record of it. (although there is a Pertenhall in Bedfordshire)
In the 1841 census she is living next door to a Susannah Wade b1796 and Thomas Harrington b1811 but have been unable to link the two households although I think they are related somehow.

Many thanks,
Liz

There is no Pertenhall in Suffolk, nearest to it would be Peasenhall?

Will check the census returns.

Liz,

Thomas Martyn Harrington died on 12th April, 1894, at Chelmondiston in his 85th year, according to the Ipswich Journal on Saturday 21st April, 1894.

The same newspaper has some marriage announcements in it for Thomas's children, Anna Louisa, his youngest daughter, for instance to Clifford John Welham, at Chelmondiston on 19th September, 1883; On 16th February, 1860, his then youngest daughter, Edith died at Chelmodiston. Thomas, by all accounts was a farmer, he had property stolen from him, so his name appears as a prosecutor, he is present when a new windmill is opened.

He was living in Chelmondiston in August 1839, as he signed  a petition along with many others who used the cattle market at Ispwich, when they voted to change market day from Saturday to Tuesday! Thomas was the treasurer and vice-chairman of the Ancient order of Foresters in 1869, which met at the Foresters Arms in Ipswich.

The same newspaper shows this marriage:
Births, Deaths, Marriages and Obituaries .
The Ipswich Journal (Ipswich, England), Saturday, December 17, 1836: 6th inst, Mr. Morten of Godalming, Surry, and Miss Harrington of Chelmondiston

Thank you all for your responses, after a bit of investigation, I discovered a Pertenhall in Norfolk, for the year 1871. no other mention of it anywhere else so I shall try the Norfolk boards.

Tom, thank you for the paper information, I think he was the brother of my Elizabeth Harrington. I am interested as to where you found the info, as I have had a bit of a google but have only found selected clips from the Ipswich
Journal on line, and would very much like to have a trawl through them myself.

Hi Tom,

I'm building a database of millers and mills and was very interested to see you posting that stated ..."Thomas, by all accounts was a farmer, he had property stolen from him, so his name appears as a prosecutor, he is present when a new windmill is opened."

Could you give me any more information?  Do you have a date/ mill/ village?

Would be very grateful for ANY info...

Regards,
Windy Miller

Hi Windy,

Sure the mill was at Chelmondiston, a new flour mill, a rolling mill, on the River Orwell between Ipswich and Shotley.owned by Messrs Elmer Bros. However, I don't think it was a windmill.

I will send you a PM so you can see the source of the information.
