Hadleigh Parish - CALVER

If John died in 1855 - he was 58 as per his burial

Ahhhhhhhhh yes Carole!! I knew about, but totally had forgotten, about the 1841 rounding to the youngest 5 years.....and yup, that means born about 1797 and therefore the John CALVER who died Ipswich in 1855 at 58yo fits!!

Thanks, you've helped break that little brickwall!! Kind of embarrassing I didn't notice that myself. I guess that expression is true: can't see the trees for the forest....

Now to hopefully someone can look up the marriage....

Hi,

I can't help with any baptisms but,
In the Suffolk Burial Index (ex Suffolk FHS) there are these two burials;

7-4-1855 John Calver age 58 buried in Ipswich St.Margaret

2-4-1884 Lydia Calver age 73 wd died 29-3, Bond Street. buried Ipswich Cemetery

There are many "John Calvers" but the one above seems to agree with the details you listed.
Similarly, there are a few Lydia Calvers but this one appears to match also.

Cheers Alan! I had Lydia's burial, but you gave me her death, so thanks! It is definitely her as she was living on Bond St in various census.

You give the source as "Suffolk Burial Index" - is this on CD? I have a world subscription to FindMyPast and it has some Suffolk Family History records, including Lydia's burial, but it did NOT have her death details you gave me.

Could you do another burial lookup for me? Patrick Lean WILKINSON; died 3 Jun 1963, Ipswich. Does it list where he was buried?

Thanks!

Hi,

The Suffolk Burial Index (issue 2) is on a CD issued by the Suffolk Family History Society. I have had it for
about 2-3 years and not sure if it has been updated since.

It only covers burials upto about 1900 and in a few cases to 1905 and so I can't help with the burial/death of Patrick in 1963.

Hi....I dont know if it is the same family group but I have a John Calver 1817 Mellis married to Rachel ? 1816 Hadleigh....I see in my notes that I found your John & Lydia and because of the same surname and place, I just kept a note of them thinking that they must be related somehow to my John? Do you have any other info that might tie in?  (Just a note but the surname Woodthorpe is linked to my Calver family aswell) does this help?  regards jenny
