Hi - I too am a member of the 'Blo(o)mfield Hunters', as some of you already know. The most recent Blomfield in my family was Eliza Blomfield, born Woolpit, Suffolk 1824. She married Robert Southgate, born 1817, Needham Market, Suffolk, and they are my 3x gt grandparents.
Interestingly, Justine, we also have a family story that there was gypsy blood in the family in either the Southgate or Blomfield line.
I haven't had a chance to check out all the info posted in this thread yet, but shall look forward to doing so when I have a bit of time to spare.
Regards,
Greensleeves
