FamilySearch shows four daughters being born and baptised in Russia, including Mary Rebecca in 1855. At some point before 1881, Frederick died, as Annie is recorded as a Widow and Annuitant, living with three of her daughters in Station Road, Beccles in Suffolk. However, Mary's whereabouts in 1881 are not yet known.

Mary's mother Annie was born in Watford, which could explain why Mary married Frank Blunderfield there in February 1888.

We know that Frank travelled back to Australia from Plymouth just two days after they were married and Mary followed him a month late, She departed from London on the 16 March 1888 on board the Orient Line's steamship 'Oroya', in a 2nd class cabin. Arriving in Sydney on the 29 April 1888.

What happened then is a mystery. Frank Middleton Blunderfield spent the rest of his life in South Africa and his death record states that he married Sophia Hope in London on the 24th July 1888! Where is Mary Rebecca?

Other marriages:

CLARKE, William James

Mary Louisa was the daughter of the unmarried Sarah Goodrum. The father is believed to be James Wright an Agricultural Labourer also of Seething. This explains why her birth was registered with the name Mary Louisa Wright Goodrum. However, she was baptised in 1868 as Mary Louisa Goodrum and only her mother's name Sarah Goodrum was listed in the register (no mention of Wright). When the 1871 Census was taken, Mary Louisa, aged 6 was recorded as Louisa Goodrum and living with her father James and grandparents. At the age of 16, 1881, she is in service as a Housemaid with a farmer in Norton Subcourse but using the name Mary Louisa Wright. By 1891 she was working as the Housekeeper for William Ellis Blunderfield, a Grocer and Draper in Dennington, Suffolk and using the name Lucy Wright.

A couple of years later, in 1893, she married William Ellis Blunderfield and used the name Mary Louisa Goodrum. Sadly, William died in 1895 before they had any children. Mary Louisa inherited and moved into Bugdon House in Loddon - she was joined there by William James Clarke; they never married but had two children who were named Neville Victor Clarke Blunderfield and May Clarke Blunderfield. Curiously, when May's birth was registered, Mary Louisa gave her Maiden name as Wright.

In the 1939 Register, Mary is listed at High Street, Loddon as a Widow and living with William J Clarke a retired Sadler.

She died at number 59, Bushey Road, Totley (near Sheffield) but was described as of Bugdon House, Loddon.

Probate was granted to her son Neville Victor Clarke, a Gas Engineering Draughtsman. Effects £77-6s-4d.

The bungalow in Bushey Road, was the home of her daughter May and husband Edward Rowbottom. The Electoral Registers show only May and Edward at that address in May 1945 but from October 1945 to 1949, Mary Louisa Blunderfield is also listed. So, aged around 80 years, she must have gone to live with her daughter.

Edward and May continued to live at that address. They are both listed in the Electoral Register in 1970 but only May in 1976.

WHEELER, Richard J

On the 1911 Census form, Rosetta has stated that she had had 13 children born alive to her marriage with Robert Blunderfield of which 4 had died.

It could be that she had two stillborn babies - whilst the births did not need to be registered at that time, a Death Certificate was required in order to bury a stillborn child.
