Title: Looking for Parents of James Tovell B 1811, Darsham, Suffolk
Post by: Matthew Mills on Thursday 20 March 25 17:43 GMT (UK)

Hello, I am looking to continue my tree following My 4th Great Grandfather who I believe was James Tovell, Born:1811 Darsham, Suffolk, England, Died:17 Apr 1888 Blything, Suffolk.
Married Mary Dale 12 Nov 1831 • Darsham, Suffolk, England.

I cannot find any records of his birth, just census and Marriage data.

Ancestry tries to give me his father as Thomas Tovell b.1786 from Norfolk but 1841/1851 census data from Mistley, Essex doesn't match well. He Married Sarah Ainger on 13 Mar 1810

The marriage data online doesn't list the father/parents.

Any help or pointers would be appreciated.

Slightly off the subject.

There is a death registered 1872 for William Lovell age 28 Blything I think this is actually William Tovell son of James and Mary
He was 27 in 1871 with his wife Charlotte nee Brooks married 1865, 1881 she is a widow.
