Sedgwick of Withersfield (c1700)
« on: Monday 20 May 24 23:07 BST (UK) »
Evening everyone,

I'm looking for BMD info on an EDWARD SEDGWICK.  He was married to Joanna, and they had children in 1700 & 1703.

Most importantly for me, though, he was a miller.

Any info would be fab!

Marriage was in June 1696 to Joanna Rule in Withersfield.

What sites do you normally check? Ancestry, FindMyPast, Family Search, FreeReg......?

I'm a bit old school.  I go to Ipswich record office and go through the fiches.  Pre 1813 it is very rare to get the persons occupation recorded.

Where would you recommend?

The marriage to Joanna Rules is very helpful!

A miller Thomas Rules died in Withersfield in 1688, and he was a miller, so I'm assuming that Joanna was his daughter and Edward, her husband, took over the mill.
