Can anyone help me please as I am somewhat confused regarding my Ancestors name. My Great Great Grandfather was Henry Sturgeon born in Stanton Suffolk about 1820? My Great Grandfather was George Sturgeon born approx 1857 also Stanton. Henry Sturgeon married a Mary Ann? Sometime ago it was stated to me that my GGGrandfather was Henry Baker Sturgeon and although I have entered this information on my F/T I am not convinced. Born at the same time was another Henry Baker Sturgeon who also married a Mary Ann and his profession was a School Master. My Henry was an Inn Keeper and Owner of the Horse Shoes Pub. I was able to visit my Great Great Grandparents grave site some weeks back and recorded on his Tomb Stone reads Henry Sturgeon no mention of the name Baker for a second name. As both Henry,s came from Stanton and both wives came from Wattisfield with the name of Mary Ann I am soooooooooo Confused. Can anyone confirm one way or another my GGGrandfathers true identity. |

Did you cut & paste the census info? It's just that Mary Anne is shown as male. |

Sophie my Great Grandfather also burried at Stanton was George Sturgeon no middle name I believe. I have him as being born 1852 and he died 1826. I do have his Police Papers which gave me a guide to his birth year. They state he joined the Police Force 1873 aged 21 years. Hope this answers your question. |

Oh my goodness Jim Twins. This I didn,t know. I have Robert born in 1855 and Spark 1860. Funny name that of Spark. Maybe my Great Great Grandmother saw sparks when he was born. Little Joke. Thankyou Jim. |

If Henry was born in 1822/3 then he would be under 20 on the 1841 census, so his age should have been rounded down to 15. I have looked through all of the actual images and there are three of them. |

I believe that the Sturger one that Jim found matches the one on BVRI. The 41 census was taken June 7 at which time he would have been 20. (Christened Apr.1821) |

Thankyou so much to all of you. The above has given me something to work on. There were lots of Sturgeons in Stanton and I,m sure most made up the little village itself. Lovely place but soooo small. There are even streets named after the Sturgeons. |

Hi to everyone who helped me with this one. Just to keep you all in the picture my GGGrandfather Henry Sturgeon married a Maryann Sparke not Gathercole. This was confirmed today as I ordered my Great Grandfathers brothers Birth Cert for Spark Sturgeon born 1854 Stanton. |
