Fron Nick Stedman:

Elizabeth Martin (1765 - 1854)

There were two Elizabeth Martins:

1. Elizabeth Martin born in Plaxtol (about 7 miles from W Malling). Baptised 23 June 1765 (Ancestral File AFN:TP3Q-20). Father: Francis Martin (app 1733 -1801). Mother: Elizabeth Jeffrey (app 1734 - 1818)

2. Elizabeth Martin born in W Malling. Baptised 26 April 1767 (IGI Batch C 131591; Source Call 0992509). Father: Edward Martin. Mother: Elizabeth Marshall.

I have researched a little into the two families and they do not appear to be related.

James Stedman married the Elizabeth Martin from Plaxtol.

Evidence:

a. The marriage record in the Kent County Archives, Maidstone:

James Stedman of this parish and Elizabeth Martin of this parish a spinster married in this church by Licence 21st January 1788 by me R Husband (vicar) signed James Stedman, Elizabeth Martin (apparently in their own handwriting), in presence of FRANSs MARTIN and (the mark of) MARGARET SPARKS.

b. The Will of Francis Martin of Plaxtol, Shopkeeper, written on the 30^th Jan 1800 and proved at London on the 28^th Jan 1801:

…. Also I do forgive James Stedman of West Malling in the County of Kent, Chemist, and Abraham Phelps of the same place, ? , all and every sum and sums of money as they may be indebted to me at the time of my death. ……

c. The 1851 Census for West Malling: at 7 High St., W Malling

Elizabeth Stedman Head of Household, 88, Annuitant, born Plaxtol.
Sarah Elizabeth Stedman Granddaughter, 28, born Billericay, Essex.

d. The name Silas was given to the one of James' and Elizabeth's children. This name does not appear to be used by the other (no 2) Martin family. However, Elizabeth Martin of Plaxtol had an elder brother called Silas. He may have died as he is not named in the Will of Francis. The children and approx. birth dates of Francis and Elizabeth were:

Silas (1759)
Anne (1761)
Sarah (1763)
Elizabeth (1765)
Mary (1769)
John (1772)
William (1775)
Thomas (1776)
Francis (1785)
James 1787)

All the children are mentioned in the Will except Silas and William. Anne (or Anna) is cited as the wife of Abraham Phelps and Elizabeth is cited as the wife of James Stedman.

Guildford, Surrey

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.

James married Sarah Remington 10 Dec 1816, Guildford, Surrey, England, UK. Sarah (daughter of Dr. Thomas Remington and Ann Reade) was born Bef 24 Feb 1791, Kingston, Surrey, England, UK; was christened 24 Feb 1791, Kingston upon Thames, Surrey, England, UK; died 21 Dec 1862, Guildford, Surrey, England, UK; was buried Aft 21 Dec 1862, St. Nicholas Churchyard, Guildford, Surrey, England, UK.

Notes:

From Nick Stedman (Nov 2006):

"Robert married Theodosia Mary Savignac. The Savignac family were originally Huguenots from Niort coming to England in 1701 as a result of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes. They settled in St Olaves, Southwark and were 'oyle leather dressers'. Whether due to their trade or some other factor, the Savignac name died out as they seemed to die fairly young and often childless. One of the last ones was Emma Savignac who was witness to Robert's marriage on 1st Aug 1826 in Carshalton. Emma died in 1841. I am not sure who she was as she does not feature in the Savignac family tree.

Theodosia's father, James Savignac (who 'led a wandering life') died in 1847. For some reason, the Stedman family seems to have made a special effort to preserve the name by using it as a first or middle name and for females as well as males. There is an active branch of the Savignac family in the USA with records kept by one David Savignac of Crofton, Maryland.

Robert gave his parish as Littleham, Exmouth in his marriage record implying that that was where he lived. His first son, Robert Savignac, was born in 1827 in Exeter, but by the time his second, Frederick, was born in 1829 he had already moved to Sevenoaks.

What took Robert to Devon? Presumably something to do with his medical career and possibly to do with Exeter as that has one of the oldest medical schools in the country.

In Sevenoaks, Robert Stedman is listed in Pigot's Directory in 1840 as a Surgeon and medical referee to the General Annuity Endowment Association. At some point he moved to Gt Bookham, Surrey. This could have been as early as 1840 as the Stedman family does not feature in the 1841 census for Sevenoaks. It does, however, feature in the 1851 census for Gt Bookham. Robert and Theodosia both died in Gt Bookham, but I have not found their headstones in St Nicholas, the parish church. However, the headstone of Mary Savignac, Theodosia's mother, is there.

One presumes Robert moved to Sevenoaks to practise because of family connections in the locality, but what took Robert to the Leatherhead district? One answer could be that his elder brother James was a successful surgeon in Guildford. Also Sevenoaks was not a wealthy place in those days but the Guildford-Leatherhead stretch of country was very fashionable with back-to-back mini country estates of London businessmen - a good place to establish a practice. In the 1851 Gt Bookham census, however, he described himself as Surgeon, London Royal Hospital. On the other hand it could have something to do with the education of their 4 boys who ranged in age in 1840 from 6 to 13."

Residence:
According to Nick Stedman, by 1829 he had moved to Sevenoaks, Kent where he practised as a surgeon and was Medical Referee to the General Annuity Endowment Association.  By 1841 he had moved to Gt Bookham, Surrey.

"Richard married Sarah Broomfield on 1st June 1820 in Newington, Surrey. Their first son was Richard Broomfield who was born in Newington in 1821 and died in W Malling in 1897. Richard Broomfield married Ellen Fremlin and had 4 sons and 2 daughters. I am in touch with the g grandson of the eldest son, William Richard. Richard (senior) and Sarah's 5 other children (3 sons and 2 daughters) were all born in Billericay, Essex. One of the sons (William) ran a Chemists in Ashford, Kent, which in turn was taken over by one of his sons, Frank. Richard and Sarah at some point between 1839 and 1844 moved to Aylesbury where they ran the Chemists in Market Sq. By 1854 this Chemists was being run by their youngest son, Charles."

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."

Notes:

From Nick Stedman (Nov 2006):

"William the youngest son, was a Chemist and inherited the Chemists business. He married Sarah Anne Whiting from Addington, Kent and had 4 sons and 2 daughters. He appeared to die fairly suddenly in 1850 as his youngest son, Alfred was christened on 17th Feb 1850, but by the time William's mother, Elizabeth, writes her Will on 15th Oct 1850 he is referred to as 'my late son, William'. In the 1851 census, the Chemists was already being run by Richard Broomfield Stedman. In the 1871 census, Sarah Anne was still living in High, W Malling with daughters Ellen and Jane, and with Alfred (21), a Draper. The eldest two sons, William and James can't be traced. The third son, George, became a Brewery Manager in Milton-in-Gravesend and had 2 sons and 1 daughter. Alfred married, had 2 sons and 3 daughters. He moved to Hambledon, Hampshire but eventually became a Restaurateur in the Channel Islands."

Notes:

From Nick Stedman (Nov 2006):

"Robert Savignac became a surgeon and married one Fanny Dulley, the daughter of Benjamin Dulley, a Consulting Surgeon in Wellingborough. Presumably, it was the medical connection that took Robert to Northamptonshire. Robert settled in nearby Sharnbrook, Bedfordshire, and had 2 daughters and 1 son. Sadly, his wife died in (or as a result of) childbirth. Even more sad is that Robert himself died less than 2 years later (intestate) leaving all three children orphaned. Arthur Stedman became the legal guardian of the children who were a similar age to his own children. Fanny, Maude, and Francis grew up in Gt Bookham and were therefore virtually brothers and sisters to FOS."

Notes:

From Nick Stedman (Nov 2006) :

"Warneford Savignac was named after his maternal grandmother's maiden name. Warneford did not appear to marry and seemed to live his short life mostly with his parents. At the age of 41 he described himself as 'formerly Chemist'. He died 2 years later. Cause of Death on his Death Certificate - 'Chronic Bronkitis 11 years Embolon'. "

From Nick Stedman (April 2010) :

I was surprised to see on the [Rochester Stedman Pedigree] chart that Warneford Stedman had gone to Australia where he married a person unknown and had a child who died in infancy.  My data on Warneford is

1830 born in Sevenoaks
1841 census at a school near Guildford
1851 census no record
1861 census living with his parents in Gt Bookham,  a widower and a chemist
1871 census living with widowed mother in Gt Bookham, formerly a chemist
1873 dies.

I never did find the marriage record but now I have just found this:

Notes:

From Nick Stedman (Nov 2006) :

"Arthur Stedman married Sarah Carter of Marlborough. Sarah's father William was from Cricklade and described himself as a Herald Painter (ie a designer of Coats of Arms). Presumably there was not much work in this line around Wiltshire as he became the landlord of The Ailesbury Arms in Marlborough, a substantial coaching inn by the Town Hall. Sarah was one of 14 children, 8 girls and 6 boys. One of the boys, James, took over the innkeepers job and became Mayor of Marlborough in 1891/2. One of his sons, Herbert, graduated from Jesus, Cambridge, was Assistant Master of Sydney Grammar School and President of the Linnean Society NSW. He wrote a number of books and discovered a number of new species. Sarah was a religious person and belonged to the Plymouth Brethren. She worked in the Poor House in Marlborough looking after orphaned children. At the age of 25 Arthur married Sarah aged 33 in 1859.

How did Arthur meet Sarah as there seems to be no previous connection with Marlborough? Arthur can barely have finished his training when he married. After marrying, they lived for a short while in Cookham. There seemed to be a preponderance of Carters in Cookham, and maybe Arthur was there before he married so perhaps he had met a relation?

They had 5 boys and 1 girl. The first boy died in infancy or at birth. He was born at Cookham. The next two, Theodosia and FOS, were born in Cullompton, Devon (Devon again?) although FOS, who was born on the last day of 1862, was christened on 27th Mar 1863 in Gt Bookham. As Robert Stedman (senior) had only just died, it is likely that Arthur was already in the process of taking over the practice in Bookham.

Stories have been passed down about the strict upbringing of the Stedman children due to Sarah's strongly held religious beliefs. However, the evidence from coroner's reports in connection with the Poor House in Marlborough and the way she writes her Will seem to point to a very sincere but gentle person. Arthur, though, appears to be the pedant as his Will is dry and very prescriptive. All the children except Eustace had (or were pushed into) medical interests. Theodosia (Vigny) became a nurse, FOS and Savignac Bell became doctors, and Ernest Alan died at 19 whilst a medical student.

After Arthur died in 1894, Sarah and Eustace moved to Wallington near Carshalton where Sarah died in 1905. In her Will written in 1900 she remembered all her children Vigny, Osmund, Eustace and Savignac, and also Robert (Francis Robert) and her grandchildren Harold and Alan Mowll. She wishes them present at her funeral and their travelling expenses to be paid from her estate except for Osmund who 'needs nothing in this way'. She wished to be buried near where she lived."

From: "Allie Stedman"
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.
