BLO(O)MFIELDs - Stoneham

[youngtug]

Not to worry, if my mother can find some (rather large) copies of the tree, I could post you one if you'd like.

My uncle, Peter Bloomfield, has following in the footsteps of his father Frank, been delving into this for many years also. I would hope to inform him of any new connections as things develop so he could talk about research and the vast database of knowledge he has stored in his head! Perhaps he might take up communication with you at some stage?

Will PM my Email address, although Yi Win has more knowledge and information.

I am certain we can sort things out. I'll let you know what my mother finds and when I can lay my hands on it.

You will not be surprised to know most of the roots are in East Anglia. In fact, when I take my motorcycle for a service in Newton Flotman, there is a large plaque beside the altar in the church next door, placed there by the Blundervilles, I think. All part of the same line.

I also traced a chap who lives in a large house on lands thought to comprise the old family estate, going back a good few centuries. It's fascinating.

Best, Trevor

Hi Trevor

I would like to register an interest too: my line of Blomfields is the same one as Young Tug's.  I live in Wales but come originally from Suffolk, and with any luck might be going over to visit family in the Hadleigh area in the summer.  However, in the meantime I will PM you with my email address.

Regards
GS

Hi Greensleeves,

Thank you for your message, I'll be happy to help where I can. I only found this site when I did a search for Hubert De Monte Caniso, to whom Richard De Blonvill was a sub-tenant, before I started work this morning. I only did the search because I have just moved and have the framed tree off to my right. Why not? I thought. What a coincidence it turned out to be. I'll be certain to keep you in the loop, I don't think it will be long before I have to bring my uncle into the discussion, at this rate... which is a very good thing.

Now there's a coincidence, because I found this site a few years ago when I googled Blomfield and Woolpit and found that there was a thread running which combined the two.  Not sure what happened to that thread now though - it was a few years ago - but it was a nice introduction to this brilliant site!

.....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.

Hello Lady Grace,

I know there to be a large group of Bloomfields in New Zealand, some of whomare/ were directly related to my grandfather. I seem to remember them being based around Whangarei and related to Robert, the Poet. IS that correct? Are you from amongst the same group? How interesting!

I will post the number of copies of the family tree my mother eventually finds in her store cupboards.

Best regards...

Hi,

Sorry guys I have been ill with flu followed by various complications since end March and for some reason my email alerts arent working on here so double bummer!

Yes I'd be interested in Brookers tree - having spent many years with many of you on this thread tracing the Stonham Blomfields back to 1450 & several people before that but can prove no relation.

I also have the de Casino link (somewhere) and that Robert was a sub leut of whoever - sorry my brain really is not in gear with names and locations at the minute.

The only link the Stonham (Four Elms branch) line has to the Newton Flotham line at the minute is an intermarrriage into the NF line which is where we can trace back further.

The Stonham line stops with Gilbert Blomvyle and Elizabeth English with Gilbert's father being Robert - before that we have some names in Stonham of Blomvyles but not linked yet.

Is your line Brooker Stonham in origin or Newton Flotman?

Either way anything to back up what we have to confirm it back to William 1222 would be great.

I have the tree on gedcom and can copy it to anyone who PM's me with an email address.

My current location is Cumbria.

A visit to Suffolk is not impossible.

love to you all
Yi Win
