No Stephen SMITH burial recorded on the Suffolk Burial Index that would fit the bill between 1818 when he married Rebecca  & 25 Dec 1829 when a Rebecca SMITH (wd) married Charles Leader at Framsden.

ps  Lots of SMITH's in nearby Winston around that time.  Perhaps someone can check the Winston PRs for you for his baptism.

Hi clancam37,

Following Keziah2's posting.

The only Stephen Smith I have found in Winston is this one (within the period 1754 - 1812);
Bapt. 12-2-1779 s/o Benjamin & Elizabeth.

I also checked the following transcripts without any success;
Framsden, Debenham, Helmingham, Pattaugh, Ashfield-cum-Thorpe,  and Otley & Clopton.

Alan
Browse, Peggs, Revans/Revance/Ribbans, Spall,   in Suffolk/Norfolk
Belcher, Elderfield, Froude, Saunders,  Stimson, Tame,   in Berks
Artis, Gray in Norfolk

Looks like Stephen & Rebecca bpt 3 children in Framsden
20 Jun 1819 Mary
28 Dec 1821 Henry
29 Aug 1823 Emanuel

on 4 Mar 1827 an Eliza Smith was bpt mother recorded as Rebecca Smith.

Working on the basis they often named their first born after the fathers parents I found this marriage
Henry SMITH of Framsden married Mary Bennefield (wd) on 12 Nov 1787 at Earl Soham
A John Bennefield married a Mary Gobbett 16 Nov 1776 Earl Soham.

Could Stephen have been the son of Henry & Mary maybe bpt Earl Soham?
