Stottesdon Parish Register - CORFIELD

[rosie99]

We are pretty shire their mother is Rebecca Corfield nee Jordan who lived until 1872 in and around Stottesdon incl Neenton and Aston Botterell. She was christened in 1790 in Burwarton but not sure where she died as 'Atcham' is only the registration district.

Buried at Stottesdon 17th July 1872 age 83 - Abode 'near Wenlock'

Your welcome Lyn.

I had a look to see if with my limited in-line resources I could find a Will for William Corfield who died 1854.

I was hoping he mentioned his Granddaughter Eliza !
But had no luck.
Tried looking for a Will for Rebeccaalso to see if Eliza was mentioned hopefully with a married name.

I also noticed Ann Embrey, nee Corfield married the Farm Bailiff William Cordfield (1861 Census) in 1865 (FreeBMD)

Eliza is visiting the Bowens in Bridgenorth in 1851 Census;
Thomas Bowen   30
Ellen Bowen   33
Thomas Bowen   3
Henry Bowen   2
Caroline Bowen   5 Mo
Eliza Corfield   19 born Stottesden*******
Mary Edwards   22

I cant conclusively pin down a Marriage for Eliza.

Thanks so much,

That is really helpful.

We went to the area around Stottesdon last week - nothing in the graveyard but fascinating to see

Best wishes,

Lyn
