Trying to find Arbon

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Looking for Thomas Bryant Arbon,born in 1809 in Epping, Essex. Wandered if he had brothers and sisters, and who his parents were. I know he married Elizabeth (surname unknown) and lived in Suffolk and later in St Neots and in Bedford. They had at least nine children, one of whom (Walter George) was my great-grandfather who moved his own family up to Hull, East Yorkshire. I can't seem to get any more info about Thomas Bryant Arbon or the earlier family, but would love to know more. Hoping someone can help me, Angela.

My relatives include Arbons from Suffolk. My grandmother was an Arbon who originated in Mendlesham Green, Suffolk and there are many of them thereabouts. The gravestones in the chapel cemetry list many relatives. Wondered if there may be a link...
Kind regards

Have looked in my papers and found a bit more about The earliest Arbon on my side of the family - William Arbon born about 1817 and died 1870. His wife was Harriet and they both lived and died in Mendlesham Green, Suffolk but I am not sure where he was born. I do know however, that there were a lot of siblings...
