Frederick John Sturman (born 1848)

[bethanyyd96]

I need help tracing Frederick John Sturman in the 1881 and 1891 censuses.

He was born in 1848 in Seething, parents John and Harriet, as stated in the 1851, 1861 and 1871 censuses, and later lived in Bergh Apton with his wife Laura Sturman nee Woodrow, born 1883, as per 1901 and 1911 censuses. He died in 1929.

Also, in the 1911 census, there is a Grace (Hilda) Sturman, born 1911, Bergh Apton, who is listed as Frederick's granddaughter. Her birth index reveals no maiden name for mother, so presume she was illegitimate. I have no idea who her mother is as I thought his first child was born in 1904.

I thought his marriage to Laura was his first marriage. Was he married before Laura?

Grace may have died soon afterwards: Grace Hilda Sturman aged 0, Sep qtr 1911 Wangford.

Florence Kate Sturman may be worth looking into - born Bergh Apton 1888 (mmn Wade) and married in Wangford district in Sep qtr 1911.

Her mother was Martha per 1891 census: RG12/1541/104/7. Married, but husband not there.

Florence Sturman born Oct 1888 was admitted to a board school in Beccles in 1895 - father Frederick.

“Also, in the 1911 census, there is a Grace (Hilda) Sturman, born 1911, Bergh Apton, who is listed as Frederick's granddaughter.”

I’d say Grace was the daughter of Florence.
