I often see the same sort of enquiry re what epidemics struck in certain time frames However it should perhaps be kept in mind that just because people died in the same period as an epidemic happened it does not automatically mean they died of the same Mortality rates were far higher then Where epidemics struck the Vicar often made notes against the burials so perhaps worth checking that but the reality is they could have died of just about anything in the middle of a plague Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > In the same vein, does anyone know if there was anything 'doing the > rounds' > in the Marlesford area in 1800?

You are correct, the family name was 'Stebbing' my husband typed it for me and misheard the name. I also remember going to see the Bullers family at Poulton le Fylde but there was nobody in at the time and I don't remember going again so I never met them. Just to continue with the performing theme, my Mother Miri Bloxham (Queenies Daughter) ran a dance school called 'Stebbing School Of Dancing' in Grimshaw Street Preston where she taught ballet and tap in the 1960s. Needless to say I was enrolled from the age of about 2 or 3 until I was 10 years old. Later she also owned a booking agency 'Stoplight Enterprise' providing acts for clubs which was run from rented property in Deepdale Road Preston. I have attached 2 photos of Queenie, the 1st with my Mother and me the other holding me as a baby with my brother Nigel.

There is just one problem, Mildenhall is not in Thingoe district either, it came under Newmarket. I do not think that people especially if they lived on the southern part of Thingoe, such as say Stanningfield, would appreciate a journey to Mildenhall. These districts were set up long before any public transport became available. I can only think that the logical place was in Bury. Also as the sub Offices were situated in Fornham, Rougham and Ixworth, all to the North and West of Bury, those living in the South could only get to Bury. The alternatives were outside the district, Sudbury or Haverhill (Risbridge). I think that I will have to contact the Bury Records Office for a definitive answer. -------------------------------------------------- JOHN MARJORAM b 1832 son of JOHN MARJORAM b 1811 charsfield suffolk This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Hello Vanessa The Suffolk FHS has published indexes locating the marriage of William ATKINSON and Martha JERMAIN in 1795 at Drinkstone (not Bradfield Combust) and these burials at Stanningfield: 1832 William ATKINSON of Stanningfield aged 71 (b. 1760-61) 1843 Martha ATKINSON of Bury UH [the workhouse] aged 71 (b. 1771-72) So your next step would be baptisms. FamilySearch databases like the IGI have the christening of Martha, daughter of Edward and Martha JERMAIN, at "Sudbury, Suffolk" in 1773 (batch no C020916), but that was probably the archdeaconry rather than the parish, which may have been Beyton (next to Drinkstone), as Edward JARMIN of Beyton married Martha MILES at Old Newton in 1771.

Hi Listers ! Further to this information I append an answer which was sent to the Norfolk List in May 2009 - Nothing specific to Suffolk in 1835, but you may want to keep it on file ? Best Wishes !

I have whole families dying at the same time! >Valerie Bill To expand on Neil's reply: I have had similar thoughts in the past and so I have noted down epidemics when I come across them through the ages. Also extremes of weather which might affect the crops. I agree that what you have seen is quite possibly cholera, but it might be something else. Here are my notes from epidemics of that period. === 1826 - 37 World-wide waves of cholera first recorded in India, then Russia, Europe & US 1831 Oct - first references to Cholera in UK. Arrived from Asia, with 6000 deaths within a few months 1831 October 26 - Sunderland. One William Sproat died that day from the disease, though nobody wanted to admit it. Merchants and officials found plenty of reasons to rationalize away a prospective 40 day maritime quarantine of the ports. ... (sources: London Encyclopaedia, & http://www.theplumber.com/plague.html ) 1831 Oct Cholera preparations recorded in Manningtree (Source: Essex RO SEAX ref D/P 265/18/1 & London Encyclopaedia) 1831-2 Cholera hits USA, Canada, New York, New Orleans, Montreal, Quebec 1832 Cholera hits Sheffield Monument to 402 dead of "Asiatic Cholera" epidemic of 1832. 1347 reported affected. (Sources: Allan Jobson, Suffolk Miscellany & http://public-art.shu.ac.uk/sheffield/unk126.html ) 1833-34: One of the warmest winters recorded since 1659. January was very wet 1834-5 "sore throat" (possibly scarlet fever?) recorded in UK Nfk, Gooderstone PR records a "virulent epidemic" with an average of 10 deaths/year => 80, esp children 1834 A dry spell from February to June, then a very wet summer (in London). Thick fog from 30th September to 6th October (London & South). 1834-1835: Very bad winter. Notably snowy winter in Scotland. By the third week of January, 1835, there had been enough snow to seriously disrupt the 'Mails', but it was not until the end of February that the greatest quantities were reported. The bad/snowy weather lasted well into mid-March, with depths of 8 or 9 feet being reported. Resulted in an avalanche in Lewes, the only major avalanche recorded in England. Caused by a large build-up of snow on the cliff slipping onto a row of cottages called Boulder Row (now part of South St). About 15 people were buried, and 8 of these died. The Snowdrop pub in South St is named in memory of the event. (That pub was once my "local" although I didn;t realise it at the time) 1835  A very dry summer (London & South). When you look back over history, you see that the recent scares about "Bird Flu" etc. are just following in a centuries-old tradition. With best regards, -- Colin Fenn London

As an aside, folks might also be interested in the fact that the plague stayed late in Suffolk ... although cases were reported as late as 1906 at Shotley, 1910 at Freston and 1911 at HMS Ganges at Shotley Gate, Arwarton has the distinction of having a case of plague reported in 1918 (see n.a., 'Suffolk Facts', in "Suffolk Roots", Vol. 19, No. 2 (SFHS, Aug/1993), p. 130).

Many thanks Anitra - that is a perfect fit (and incidentally explains why Thomas named his first daughter Sarah). Thomas the father is still with them in 1841. The 1851 census must be an aberration on the part of the enumerator. Now to work out what happened to son John!
