    Hello there John - thanks for responding to my post, much appreciated. I was interested to learn that Dr Silas Stedman and Harriette had eight children. They lived in Christchurch and there are about 20 Stedmans in the local telephone directory now so presumably many of those would be descendants. I would certainly be interested in communicating with a NZ Stedman who acts the the family historian here.

    Charlotte and William Bristow had at least three children, possibly more. (I'm just in the early stages of this piece of research). A son Stillwell Thiele Bristow who married Winifred Montifiore in Sydney on 29 July 1914 (entry on Trove); and daughters Mary who married Percival Sladden; and Helen who married Arthur Shadbolt on 8.10.1900. William Bristow died early 1900 probably at home in Duvauchelles, Banks Peninsula, near Christchurch. Charlotte died probably early 1933, probate dated 11 April 1933 (entry on Archway). She was aged 77, giving birth year about 1856.

    Silas Stillwell died in Christchurch on 3 Dec 1865 of typhoid, according to notes on MacDonald Index, held by Canterbury Museum, but not yet online. Harriett died 26 Jan 1866 at Oxford, near Christchurch. Given they were in their 40's and had young children at that stage I guess other family members stepped in and took them under their wing. Silas had a sister Mary, married to Charles J Sale, living at Oxford in April 1867.

    That's about as much as I know at this point.

    Looking forward to hearing from you.
    With best wishes
    Rod S.

    Subject: Stedman family history

    Dear John,
    I was recently googling my grandfather Silas Stedman when I came across your letter - I'm not sure if you have resolved your question, yet but I thought I should email you to let you know that Silas Stilwell Stedman was my great-great grandfather (I think that's the right number of greats!) and Harriet Stedman obviously my great-great grandmother. They both came out to New Zealand in 1860 and Silas Stilwell Stedman was the first surgeon at Christchurch Hospital by 1862. I am unfortunately temporarily living overseas at the moment so I don't have the facts close to hand, but I am pretty sure they both died of a fever while he was attending patients in the countryside, and we have a lot more information on them at home. I don't know if we have any information on Harriet's parentage, but when I am home (in December) I could look up the deaths records at the public library in Christchurch, as I have seen both hers and Silas' there, I think. I could also email my father or uncles to ask any questions, if you want to ask any. I would be very pleased to pass on more information about the New Zealand wing of the Stedman family, as it has been very exciting to find yours and others' information on the internet.

    Please let me know if you have any questions,
    Alison Stedman.

    Notes:

    From Nick Stedman (Nov 2006):

    "Silas got his name from his uncle on the Martin side of the family (Elizabeth's eldest brother). He married Charlotte Stilwell of Eltham, Kent. They had 7 daughters and 2 sons all born in Eltham. Silas was reportedly a Chemist and Surgeon. His eldest son Silas Stilwell, married Harriet Stedman (his cousin) and became a Surgeon in Arundel, Sussex. Their eldest son, Silas James, matriculated from Queens College, Oxford in 1865 and became a doctor. He then disappears from the records. There is an odd record in The New Zealander of a daughter born to a Silas Stedman MD in 1860 in Auckland but the dates mismatch. There is no trace of James William, the second son of Silas and Charlotte."

    Surrey History Centre: Lea Pale House, Stoke next Guildford first noted: 1774 last noted: 1879
    Hervey, N.B. 1987 suggests that this was the house David Irish advertised in 1700. In 1773 Thomas Irish was "of Great Foster House".

    1774 licensed to Mary Street and Mary Jellyman, who Nic Hervey says were spinsters. He also mentions a John Randall as licensee. "In 1774 it contained nine female private patients, and from then until 1793 when it closed down temporarily the numbers gradually decreased to 3."

    1798 Re-opened under the ownership of James Stilwell, taking both male and female private patients, with numbers fluctuating between 2 to 6.

    1815 list: Guildford: Stilwell

    James Stilwell christened 24.2.1771 at Compton Near Guildford, was the son of James and Elizabeth Stilwell. James Stillwell married Ann Chuter on 13.10.1796 at Stoke Next Guildford. James Stilwell christened 27.4.1798 at Stoke Next Guildford, was the son of James and Ann Silwell. Arthur Stilwell, born 16.12.1813, christened 16.2.1814 Stoke Next Guildford. Parents: James and Ann Stilwell. A James Stilwell married Ann Foreman on 11.2.1812 at Willingdon in Sussex. A James Stilwell married Ann Foreman on 5.10.1828 at Stoke Next Guildford
    Possibly 1817 or 1828 that James Stilwell moved to Moor Croft, Hillingdon?

    "In 1817 the license passed to a Thomas Jenner Sells who was in practice with Caleb Woodyer and James Stedman in Guildford, and these gentlemen together with Randall remained connected with asylum until the 1850s. It was James Stedman who was generally the licensee however."

    By 1826 "the numbers had gone up to nine, but in the 1840s there were generally only 4 or 5 inmates and the proprietors were taking more male than female patients, a trend which continued in the 1860s".

    1841 Census: Lea Pale House Lunatic Asylum. Superintendents: Stephen (aged 50) and Louise (aged 45) Golding. Patients: Jn. Smith aged 55 and A.W. Fitzroy, men, of independent means - F. Williams? aged 40, Farmer - Frances Seckitt? aged 25, lady. Staff: Sarah Simon? of "unknown" age, nurse - Ann Powett? aged 20, female servant - Thomas Franks aged 60, keeper. All born in Surrey.

    "In the 1840s Silas Stilwell Stedman was signing admission certificates for both Lea Pale and Church Street, Epsom and there was a Robert Stedman providing certificates for George Stilwell at the latter house. James Stedman of Lea Pale also signed certificates for George Stilwell."

    Alt. Death:
    Nick Stedman has this date. FreeBMD lists two deaths of James Stedmans in the Guildford District between 1851 and 1861; A December 1852 death, Vol. 2a, p. 36, and a March 1861 death, Vol. 2a, p. 39.

    I believe the 1861 date is correct because there is a burial that seems to fit in Guildford in 1861.

    Buried:
    Nick Stedman suggests that he was buried at St. Mary's Guildford.

    Died:
    The death of James Stedman was registered at Guildford District, Vol. 2a, p. 39, in the March Quarter 1861.
