Thank you very much Roy, Jenny and Kevin for your replies. I have received a very prompt reply from the record office at Lowestoft. Unfortunately it did not provide any new answers but was written by a very helpful person! He has also suggested I purchase the Loddon death certificate which I have done . He has given me a link to the Waveney district records office . I will contact them today. Apparently no inquest records exist from this early date. There is no burial documented for Hannah or William. Would it be feasible for Hannah's burial to have taken place back in Stonham Aspal? Kevin has certainly opened my mind to another suggestion, that being the strong possibility that we are dealing with a non conformist family. Hannah was a Tydeman from Stonham Aspal and William and all his siblings were born at Earl Stonham and baptized at the parish church. William and Hannah were married at the parish church in Stonham Aspal. However! As there are no baptisms shown in Beccles for Mary Ann and Harry (Children of William and Hannah) and no burials at the parish church I feel there is a chance I need to check non Conformist records ........How? Other background information. William had several brothers who were definitely non conformists and Harry (son of William and my great grandfather) later, as an adult, belonged to the Strict or Particular Baptists. Thomas, a Master Coachsmith, was living in Colchester in 1841 married with six children . He later became a Baptist MInister. Henry,a Wheelwright and Coachsmith, was living in Colchester in 1841. The birth of all his children was registered a the Stanwell Street Baptist Church in Colchester. Charles,the brother who was responsible for the legal side of things and auction of goods etc lived all his life in Earl Stonham and was not non conformist but I am wondering if Thomas or Henry could have been made responsible for the funeral( as they were non conformist and Charles was not) and therefore the BMD death reg March qtr 1844 in Colchester could be the right one. Unfortunately William Warren appears to be as common as John Smith in 1844! Apologies for this long email. Jenny, I have replied offline with Warren family details. Many thanks again Marj.

Hi Marj, There was and still is a Baptist Church in Beccles. They were "Strict & Particular", but these churches are now known as "Grace Baptist" in Suffolk. http://www.becclesbaptistchurch.co.uk/x_home1.asp As you may know, Baptists do not practice infant baptism so the only possible record would be of adult "believer's baptism". However, there are records of some Baptist churches in Suffolk where births of member's children were recorded in a register. Sadly, few have survived. The same applies to burials. Many Suffolk Baptist churches had their own graveyard, however, as the Beccles church is in the town centre this might not be the case there. Your contact at the Record Office in Lowestoft would be able to tell you if they have any of the church records deposited there. Alternatively you could contact the church to see if they hold anything. Stonham also has a Baptist church who were once part of the Strict Baptist Association of Churches. They do not appear to have a website, but their address is STONHAM BAPTIST COMMUNITY CHURCH NORWICH ROAD, STONHAM PARVA STOWMARKET SUFFOLK IP14 5JT Hope this helps!

Hi Marj, I did a search on the index at: http://www.bmdregisters.co.uk. They have some non-conformist registers online and found in the index the following deaths listed. Warren Hannah 1832 Burial Suffolk RG4_2710 Warren William 1834 Burial Suffolk RG4_1849 Warren Mother: Hannah Warren 1834 Burial Suffolk RG4_1833 Father: William Warren Warren Henry William Mother: Hannah Warren 1836 Burial Suffolk RG4_1833 Father: William Warren I don't have any credits so can't find out exactly where the entries are listed, but thought this may help at least.
