Hi
I'm researching my ORBELL & FIDDAMAN lines from Brancaster Parish using the FreeReg database, & have come across 3 children born to John & Susannah (or Susan) Springall/Springold that indicate that the Springalls may be connected to the ORBELLs & FIDDAMANs. (My 3x great grandmother Mary Lewis Fiddaman married Ambrose Orbell in 1810 & then moved to Brancaster in the early 1820's)
What I have found is; Robert Fiddaman SPRINGALL baptised 30 April 1820, (he must have died as an infant), Robert Fiddaman SPRINGOLD baptised 21 Oct 1821, & Mary Orbell SPRINGALL baptised 28 Oct 1832 All 3 born to John & Susan Springold/Springall. Their other children (all with surname SPRINGOLD) were:Charles baptised 22/6/1823 (probably died as an infant/young), Henry John 2/11/1825, Mary Elizabeth4/12/1825, Susan Jane 4/2/1827, Charles 7/8/1828, Joseph 23/5/1830 & John 14/8/1831. All children born in Brancaster, Norfolk
Having checked both name variations, the only marriage for John Springall/Springold in the whole of Norfolkwas to Susan Reynolds, in 1793 in Wood Dalling parish, but this seems too early if their children were being born in Brancaster in the 1820's & early 1830's. Initially I had wondered if Susannah was in fact a Fiddaman (there was a Susannah Fiddaman b 1805 in Brancaster, & I have no record of who her spouse was), but I can find no record of her marrying John Springall. I can find no earlier Springall/Springold baptisms or infant deaths to John & Susan.
Having checked FreeReg for Norfolk parish BMD's I can come up with no more relevant information that would confirm a possible connection between this Springall/Springold family to the ORBELL & FIDDAMAN families & yet the inclusion of these surnames as middle names for two of the Springall/Springold children would seem to suggest there is a familial connection.
Can anyone help/is anyone researching Springall.Springold, Orbell & Fiddaman?
thanks
Roz
