Sandford

[Valda]

Hi

What information did the PCC will give or was there no connection? There may be none - there is about 30 miles between East Bergholt and Little Saxham.

There doesn't seem any evidence either way to say whether Robert came on his own to London or he came with any other family members. For his baptism and birth in Suffolk you really need to put a query on the Suffolk board as the Rootchatters there will know more about the county than on the London and Middlesex board.

Hi


Have you been able to eliminate the Simon Sandford who died in 1832 as a possible relative - a grandfather for instance?

Hi  Valda,

I found out a bit of information about this Simon and it could be him the last child he had was born in about 1828, do you have any further information about him I could use?, I know that the mother of Robert Sandford was definately Sarah because its in the 1841 census,

best regards, Gwen

Hi

Can you give the full information from the 1841 census information you have for Robert.

As far as I can tell Simon Sandford who died in 1832 aged 85 last known child was born circa 1791, but he supposedly did have a son called Simon in circa 1781.

East Bergholt parish registers are not on the IGI which doesn't have particularly good coverage for Norfolk.

Hi, thanks

In 1841 Robert lived in Clerkenwell in London, with his wife Sarah Louise Jaycocks comes from Suffolk, living with him were William circa 1763 and Elizabeth circa 1783. I have found some information on another tree which says the same as you about Simon 1791

Hi

The Robert in Clerkenwell on the 1841 census is older than your Robert

1841 census HO107 662/3 folio 42
Hermes Street Clerkenwell Middlesex
William Sandford 78 Schoolm(aster) not born Middlesex
Elizabeth Sandford 58 born Middlesex
Charles Sandford 25 Warehouseman born Middlesex
Robert Sandford 20 ap(pprentice) born Middlesex
Maria Sandford 22 teacher born Middlesex

Adult ages, those over 15 on the 1841 census are usually rounded down to the nearest 5 so this Robert would be aged anywhere between 20 and 24 with a birth between 1817- 1821.

Your Robert's age was consistent on all censuses from 1851 onwards birth year circa 1826.

If Robert's sister was Maria (and no relationships are given on the 1841 census and the born in or out of county can be inaccurate) she married in 1843 at St James Clerkenwell. She gave her address as 24 Hermes Street and her father's name as William Sandford occupation school master.

There is a Robert Sandford born circa 1822 St George Hanover Square on the 1871 census a widower and labourer.

What information does the Simon Sandford PCC will give?
