Title: Stows in Suffolk
Post by: lstow1983 on Wednesday 27 December 17 21:55 GMT (UK)
Hi

I am trying to find the parents of James Stow who was born in 1806 and died in 1887 - he was a school master in Polsted Suffolk. He married Ann Bugg in 1824.

Any hard evidence of parents’ names would be epic!

Thanks

The 1871 and 1881 census have him born in Glemsford, Suffolk. (Quite a long way from Polstead)

If that is correct, there is the possibility this is Jane, in Nayland in 1851:

Jane Mann                   31    Polstead, Suffolk
Jane Amburgh Mann    2    Nayland, Suffolk
Arthur R Mann            0    Nayland, Suffolk
Sarah Stow   Mother-In-Law    68    Glemsford, Suffolk
