Mary BACON of Mickfield

[HowardJ]

Hi Lady Grace.  Interesting suggestion about Thomas Bacon.  I did a Google search on "Thomas Bacon of Winston Suffolk" and found one such b 1609 Winston which would be about the right age to be Anne Bloomfield's husband.  However I found another site that matches the parents of Thomas given on the first but they don't have a son Thomas.  Instead they had other kids and eventually went to Massachusetts (as did many in the Bacon family, it seems).  However there is a time gap in the kids given about where Thomas would appear.  Unfortunately I didn't find any contenders for the elusive Mary Bacon wife of Thomas Bloomfield.

Thanks very much for that Howard

Hi Lady Grace,

I connected with another website that had Thomas Bacon b 1609 Winston, descended from Sir Edmund Bacon 1420-53 of Drinkstone SFK.  Whether this is the Thomas Bacon that married Anne Bloomfield I could not determine.  He had seven siblings, at least 5 of whom died in Massachusetts.  No further info on Thomas.

Many thanks Howard, its a long but exciting process finding these elusive relations..Grace

Just another item of interest I have found re a Mary Bacon, on my Blomfield/Blomvyle Family tree we have Mary Bacon born c 1580 Mickfield, but no one can find her in Mickfield so that may not be correct..but.. now here's an odd thing, we have her death in c 1646 Suffolk and I found in the Suffolk Witch trials, a Mary Bacon 1645 Suffolk,  I presume this  date is when when the poor souls were murdered legally, there is also a Nicholas Bacon of Suffolk, how terribly sad and barbaric, I certainly hope it was not our Mary to die that awful way, I think they burnt them didn't they?

[Lady Grace]

Well thankfully after a little more digging I find this,  so its not our Mary, thank heavens for that, the poor souls
"Mary Bacon of Chattisham, wife of Nathaniel Bacon. Both "confessed", Nathaniel's fate is unknown. Mary was hanged 27th August 1645. "

Lady Grace,

What a grusome discovery - however if all the Bacon family does link up then they are the same family as our Mary.

This is the info I have on ours but it is from somewhere on this forum...

from Rootschat:-

Mary Bacon, born Mickfield c.1580, married Thomas Bloomfield (b. MIckfield 1576) on 4th Feb 1601 or 1602.  Some sites give her wedding year as her birth year, but son Thomas born in 1608.

However this is the info I have on Thomas Blomfield....

IGI
Thomas Blomfield  Birth: 1576    Mickfield, Suffolk, England
Father:     Henry Blomfield     Mother:     Grace Stannard

Marriages: MARY BACON    04 FEB 1602      Mickfield, Suffolk, England

and from....
Book:    Marriages at Withersdale, 1660 to 1837. (Marriage)
Collection:    Suffolk: - Registers of Marriages (Various Parishes), 1539-1837
Thomas Blomefyld & Mary Bacon 04 Feb 1602

So we know they wer married in 1602 and we know who his parents are! But alas no further as to Mary's origins!

Been following this trail Howard and would say that 99.9% Thomas Bacon married our Annis ( Anne), his birth is c1609 Winston I am following our Annis/Anne Bloomfield  1607 who married a  Thomas Bacon, of Winston.... now the only birth I can find that would fit him is c1609 in Winston, which would make him about the same age as Anne, presuming Ann's birth date is 100% correct..now cometh the exciting  thing...if....this is indeed our Bacon ancestor, he has a wonderful full Ancestral Family Bacon tree done back to this fellow w Ranauf (Ralph) De BACON (AFN: J6FD-8B) Birth: 1160 <Of, Baconthorpe, Norfolk, England> , I found it on the Mormon Genealogy site last night and thought wow! if it is correct that would be a wonderful thing..! Between Ranauf and Thomas there is a full family tree on the Mormon site, I can't find a marriage, but will look for children that may verify the connection, Howard you mention 7 siblings? where did that data come from, also like you I can find no trace of a marriage, death, or births, so thought they may have gone to America? Thomas's brother Henry has 6 children born in Winston, so the two families appear to be very entwined in that area of Suffolk...

[Lady Grace]

whoops Howard, have to re phrase that, meant to say Annis/Anne Blomfields brother, Henry Blomfield  & Abigail Backlers 8 children were born in Winston Suffolk, so the families were pretty well entwined around that area..:>)
Mary Bacon is still a mystery to date, as I said before she may be a Winston Bacon too...we shall keep searching
