Hi Folks, I have a real "toughy" with a part of my Osborne tree and as it involves a direct line to my nephew I would like to get a 2nd(or 3rd or 4th etc ) opinion on the correct connections. It starts with one Jacob Snelling at Mendlesham, against whom a bastardy order was issued in 1822 relative to a male child of Grace Steff(Stiff). On 16 Jan 1823 Jacob and Grace were married at Mendlesham, and from that point on I cannot find any reference to her. 1841 Census HO107/1023Bk12F5p2 shows Jacob with 3 children, John, Mary & Jacob Jnr, no wife 1851 Census HO107-1795F26p15 shows Jacob, widr, with Mary Ann, dau, Jacob son and Isaac G'son 1861 Census RG9/1148F8p9 shows Jacob, widr, with Mary Ann, dau and Anne Eliza g'dau 1871 CensusRG10/1735F72p8 shows the same 3 as in 1861 All above at Mendlesham George Osborne married Annie Eliza Snelling Mar Qtr 1872 I would very much appreciate all comments on the above.

Hi Phil Mary Ann Snelling baptized 06 Jun 1824 Mendlesham the daughter of Jacob and Grace Snelling Daniel Snelling baptized 10 Sep 1825 and buried 12 Sep 1825 Mendlesham son of Jacob and Grace Snelling Daniel Snelling baptized 05 Nov 1826 and buried 05 Dec 1827 Mendlesham son of Jacob and Grace Snelling Jacob Snelling bapttized 12 Oct 1828 Mendlesham the son of Jacob and Grace Snelling Daniel Snelling buried 15 Jul 1834 aged 1 years the son of Jacob and Grace Snelling. My guess is that Grace died between 1834 and 1841. She does not appear in the Suffolk burial index, FreeBMD or the 1841 census. If the family was poor and she was sick, she could have ended up in the workhouse, in which case she could have been buried in the workhouse burial grounds. It might be worth checking workhouse records for her.

Hi, I would also suggest looking for a death somewhere around that time. Where was the last child born? Maybe she stayed with her parents for the birth? Another alternative may be depression after birth - where would she have been looked after? Maybe family or an institution. There may be a death many years later - but before he was a widower. Just some thoughts - hope it helps.
