I know the Father,known as Joe survived, but the names of the other 8 children and the Mother, I am not sure. I know two of them were deaf & dumb. Is there anyone who is now directly related to them.

Author: jwilki199 Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.england.sfk.general/2339.2.3.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello Mark, Thanks for your reply. 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.

I would assume that this office was situated in Bury St Edmunds, even though Thingoe did not include the town. Can anybody confirm this or better still give me an address. The event was in 1840, so quite early for a Registry Office Wedding. I think also that Thingoe workhouse was in Bury. -------------------------------------------------- Re: Thingoe Registration District This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Marriage: October 31, 1877 Age: both are 21 years old Witnesses: James George Hugill and Sarah Ann Hugill (the aunt and uncle she was living with in 1871 census) Mary's father is James Chaplin (deceased) who's occupation was "Chaplain of a Merchant Ship" I would be interested to see if this ties to your Ipswich Chaplins. When I entered the extra information on Mary's profile a leaf popped up which referred to 1871 census and a Fanny Chaplin, 15yrs. at, what appears to be, a boarding school in Braintree,Colchester, Suffolk.

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.
