Hi Ivan The only Edmund STIFF I can find that matches your posted data in the following in 1841 Name: Edmund Stiff Age: 35 Estimated birth year: abt 1806 Gender: Male Where born: Suffolk, England Civil parish: Drinkstone Hundred: Thedwestry County/Island: Suffolk Country: England Registration district: Stow Sub-registration district: Rattlesden Neighbors: View others on page Household Members: Name Age Edmund Stiff 35 Charlotte Stiff 30 Edmund Stiff 14 William Stiff 10 Maria Stiff 7 Mary Ann Stiff 3 Henry Stiff 10 Mo HO107; Piece 1036; Book: 7; Civil Parish: Drinkstone; County: Suffolk; Enumeration District: 9; Folio: 6; Page: 5; Line: 16; GSU roll: 474643. If you are basing your quest on this entry you need to remember the 1841 does not record birth places (only if born in County enumerated or Not, FS = foreign parts or S = Scotland I = Ireland) Edmund & family (again presumed as relationships are not enumerated) are born in Suffolk not neccesarily Drinkstone In 1841 the ages are rounded down so Edmund could be any age 39 down to 35, Charlotte 34 down to 30 Then looking at the 1851 census there is the following in Drinkstone Name: Edmund Stiff Age: 45 Estimated birth year: abt 1806 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Susan Gender: Male Where born: Bradfield St George, Suffolk, England Civil parish: Drinkstone County/Island: Suffolk Country: England Registration district: Stow Sub-registration district: Walsham ED, institution, or vessel: 5 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 49 Household Members: Name Age Edmund Stiff 45 Susan Stiff 30 Rattlesdon SFK Mary Stiff 14 Henry Stiff 12 Daniel Stiff 3 Emma Stiff 2 Harriett Punchard 9 HO107; Piece: 1794; Folio: 296; Page: 10; GSU roll: 207443. As Brian suggests this one is born in Bradfield , I would suggest he has lowered his age to shorten the age gap between he and Susan What of Charlotte ? Deaths Mar 1846 STIFF Charlotte Stow 12 279 And the Susan in 1851 (helpfully a step daughter is with them in 1851) Marriages Mar 1846 Punchard Susan Stow 12 527 Stiff Edmund Stow 12 527 Edmund & Susan (Susannah in 1861) are still around in 1871, Edmund has given his correct age in 1861 & 1871 Name: Edmund Stiff Age: 60 Estimated birth year: abt 1801 Relation: Head Spouse's name: Susannah Gender: Male Where born: Bradfield St Clare, Suffolk, England Civil parish: Drinkstone County/Island: Suffolk Country: England Registration district: Stow Sub-registration district: Rattlesden ED, institution, or vessel: 4 Neighbors: View others on page Household schedule number: 42 Household Members: Name Age Edmund Stiff 60 Susannah Stiff 41 Daniel Stiff 13 Emma Stiff 12 John Stiff 9 Alfred Stiff 7 Jeremiah Stiff 5 Eliza Stiff 4 Nelson Stiff 2 Ellen Stiff 1 Mo Harriett Punchard 19 RG9; Piece: 1145; Folio: 38; Page: 7; GSU roll: 542763. So it looks like the Bradfield baptism suggested by Brian is indeed the correct one Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > Hi Brian > Thanks for that I have Edmund 1806 born Drinkstone wife Charlotte 1811 > They have 5 children > Edmund > Henry > William Marie > And Mary > 1830-1838 > I am trying to get back to his father and more if possible > Thanks Ivan Spain
