St Peter, Ipswich, Suffolk Burials 1723-1729 Peed

[Mercian7]

Hi,

If anyone may be in a position to look at the original microfiche of St. Peter, Ipswich, Suffolk for the following 3 entries I would be very grateful. I am now based in Portugal and so even buying the microfiche has been made impossible since Brexit because of VAT rules.

The 3 entries are:

27.06.1723  John Peed, of Witnesham, single
25.10.1723 Thomas Peed of Nacton
24.06.1729 Mary Peed, of St. Mary Elms, Ipswich

What I am looking for is whether any of these entries have an age mentioned. This is important as I am trying to link each with particular Peed/Pead family groups in Witnesham. If any other details are recorded I would be grateful to know too.

I cannot find out if Bishop's or Archdeacon's Transcripts exist for this parish in this period. I suspect the detail would be the same though as the parish burial register.

with much thanks
John

I checked these burials in the parish register of Ipswich St Peter but they give no ages or any other information, sorry.

Thank you Annes. I do wonder if there are archdeacon or bishops transcripts too but I will check when I visit Ipswich in September.

Hello I found your post through a google search.

I am descended from the Peed / Pead / Peade family of Witnesham.

My anceator was Judith Peed who married John Higham / Hyem in Witnesham in 1704.

So I have recently done some digging on the Pead family and have this so far:

Thomas Peed|Pead|Peade married Judith Cutberd on 23 December 1684 at Witnesham

Their children, all baptised at Witnesham, were:

1. Judith|Judeth|Judah Peed|Higham|Hyham|?Kingsbury (1685–?)

2. Sarah Peade (1688–?) Did she marry William Dearson in 1723?

3. Elizabeth Pead|Peed (1690–1691)

4. Elizabeth Pead (1692–?)

5. Thomas Pead (1693–?)

6. John Pead (1695–?)

7. Mary Pead (1700–?)

8. James Peed (1703–1795) He is evidently the James Peed of Darsham named as an executor in the will of assumed first cousin Samuel Higham of 1781 as he was buried at Darsham in 1795 aged 93.

9. Jane Pead (1704–after 1731) Named in father's will.

10. Robert Peed. No baptism found but named in father's will.

Thomas Pead made his will at Helmingham on 27 November 1731 and this was proved on 11 December 1731.

The beneficiaries were his wife Judith, son James, daughter Jane and son Robert.

I have not found his burial.

Daughter Judith Peed|Higham is not named in his will which feels curious to me and makes me wonder if she was dead.

Perhaps the 1726 burial in Ipswich for Judith Hyham is actually her.

Could the widowed Judith Higham 1726 Ipswich marriage to James Kingsbury perhaps be someone else?

It may however be Thomas Pead just didn't name all his children in this will.

What happened to all the other children above needs to be worked out to see if any others were alive at Thomas Pead's death and also not included in the will.

Judith Cutberd|Pead was buried at Witnesham on 16 October 1748 as a widow and she came from Westerfield.

As son Robert Pead had children baptised in Westerfield in the 1740s and 1750s, presumably she lived with him.

I would love to pleaae know a bit more about your research.

Beat wishes,
Jonny
