Could someone tell me if Burness, Suffolk is anywhere near Tuddenham, Suffolk. I am showing the same family with these two different Birth places on the Census. I am having a hard time finding Burness on the maps. Thanks for letting me know. Shiela

Shiela I just put Burness to Tuddenham into AA Routeplanner to see how many miles apart they are and it came back 'your start & end locations are the same' Georgina.

Hi Georgina: So that means they are the same place? Do you think they are small villages / towns side by side? Thanks for answering Georgina. Shiela

Shiela I have just looked up Tuddenham on Google & today it only has 200 inhabitants so I would think they were little Hamlets next to each other. Someone from the area may be able to help with more info later on today. No sign of Burness. Georgina.

Thanks very much for your help Georgina. Shiela

Good morning Sheila, I have an A-Z of East Anglia dated 2005 and that agrees with Georgina , no Burness. But there are 2 X Tuddenham, one just NE of Ipswich, the other NW of Bury St Edmunds towards Mildenhall. Sorry to add to your confusion, Derek in France

Could it be reference to part of the village of Burgh which is close to the Tuddenham near Ipswich

Shiela I have just done a search in Ancestry's census collection just putting in birthplace Burness Suffolk. A few come up in each census. I have looked at several images and in each case it looks like Bures. Maureen

Hi Sheila i am Ipswich born and bred and have never heard of Burness! I know Tuddenham very well its very pretty and the only thing i can think is maybe Burness is an old Hamlett ,you might also want to look for Tuddenham St Martin as thats it offical name now altough i dont know if it was years ago. Hope this helps Danni

Thanks everybody for your help. The people on this site are always very helpful. Regards Shiela
