Ancestors of Adam and Emma Jackson


Benjamin BLUNDERFIELD [Parents]-B0826 was born about May 1733 in Heckingham, Norfolk. He was christened on 04 May 1733 in St Gregorys, Heckingham, Norfolk. He died in Apr 1814 in Heckingham, Norfolk. He was buried 1 on 24 Apr 1814 in St Gregorys, Heckingham, Norfolk. Benjamin married Anne HEWSON-H0839 on 02 Jun 1754 in St Peter's Church, Mundham, Norfolk.

Anne HEWSON-H0839 was born about May 1720 in Norwich, Norfolk. She was baptized on 21 May 1720 in St Julian's Church, Norwich, Norfolk. She died in Aug 1778 in Heckingham, Norfolk.

Other marriages:
MILLS, Thomas

The burial register entry for Ann, clearly states her age as 68 years. It is thought she was born in Norwich in 1720 which means she would actually have been 58 years. She was already 13 years older than her husband Benjamin when they married, so it seems unlikely that he would intentionally have exaggerated her age by 10 years when she was buried. Unfortunately, there was no visible/readable gravestone for her in the churchyard.

They had the following children.

The illegitimate daughter of Hannah. It seems that the child may have been born in Norwich, as she was baptised there on the 6th June 1774 with the name Mary.

However, there is a second baptism, in Heckingham, on the 19th June 1774 but with the name Sophia. As both of her parents were dead, Hannah probably had to enter the workhouse in Heckingham for support, where this second baptism took place. In 1774 alone, the Heckingham Baptism Register records that 9 out of a total of 12 baptisms that year. were of 'base born' children.

Both baptisms can be seen in the Folder B0757 of the document archive.

Her burial record describes her as the niece of Mr Blunderfield a Carpenter of St Augustines in Norwich - this would be Samuel Blunderfield (B0815)

Marriage Notes:

NOTE: The assignment of this marriage and children to Robert BLUNDERFIELD (B0925), is based upon:

No evidence has been found that Robert died young.
No other possible marriages have been found for him.
He was 25 years of age when the marriage took place.
The locations involved (Toft Monks, Mutford, Barnby and Carlton Colville) are all within a few miles of each other.
Their first two children were given the same names as Robert's parents.

None of these are strong or direct evidence but taken together make it probable

They had the following children.
