.....and please count me in also!!!  Like everyone else, I find the lack of leads and info around the 11th Century frustrating. Although researching some of the wives around that time is quite interesting.

Family History Beginners Board / HELP PLEASE Margery de Blunvill (De Burgh)
« on: Wednesday 14 September 11 00:17 BST (UK)  »
could anyone out there help me find the ancestors of Margery De Burgh who married William De Blunvill in 1183 (Stathe, Somerset). William is one of my direct ancestors and was born 1153 in Newton Flotman Norfolk and died 1204. Margery was born c1157 and died 1222. I dont seem to be able to locate her anywhere on a De Burgh tree or history. ???

Many thanks everyone for your help on this. I spent some time in the Ipswich records office and after some time found that Thomas Blomfield, my Gt Gt grandfather was the illigitimate child of Mary Blomfield who continued to live with her mother and father John and Elizabeth. There was no Bastardy order so for whatever reason Mary didnt go after the father for money, but it would of course be nice to know who the father was.

Hi Trish, Im attempting to get my brain around this and it hurts now!!       ;D

Ive been on YiWins site to see if anything links up to attempt to find out if i'm descended from the John Bloomfield from Thornham Magna (which i've followed back)  or the John Bloomfield from Benhall.   Both, as have already been pointed out to me by yourself and Allan have wives called Elizabeth. But i cant find any info on the Benhall line to link up so, Im inclined to go with the John from Thornham Magna only because one of the census files shows a John Bloomfield born 1796 as the father of Mary whom in turn gave birth (presumably) to Thomas Bloomfield illegitimately.

But in order to be more sure, my way of thinking is that I need to rule out the Benhall line.   Im not having much luck finding the info i need to do this.

I cant find any info regarding John Bloomfield married to Honour Arbon!

am I on the right train of thought here?     

To complicate matters, an 1841 Census that I have shows 3 John Bloomfields born 1796, one in Stow, another in Thetford and one in Woodbridge but i dont have any way of checking these.

Can anyone suggest how I can narrow all this down to confirm the John Bloomfield that Im looking for? 

Im stuck!    ???

This is great thank you all so much for your help.

Its brilliant and exciting finding all this info out!   I wonder where my line fits into the big picture with the Yaxley, Newton or other Norfolk and Suffolk lines?

Thats great Carol, many thanks for that. I wonder if Mary was a Miss or Mrs? if that was her Maiden name then i would like to try and trace her line back. If she was using a married name then i guess im a bit stuck.

Would you happen to know any more details about Mary?
