SUSAN MARIA CORNWELL 1862

Daughter of William Cornwell 1830 and Elizabeth King

Susan was baptised on 20 Jul 1862 (1) in Kedington, Suffolk. She married Harry Sargeant on 19 Dec 1883 (1) in Kedington.

Harry Sargeant was born about 1859 (2) in Finchingfield, Essex and baptised 26 Jul 1864 (1) in Kedington. His parents are John Sargeant and Maria.

Harry worked as an Inkeeper of the Bell Inn, Kedington and then as a Miller of Corn. He and Susan settled in Kedington where they had 9 children. There is a field next to the Mill which my father remembered the family calling Aunty Sue's Meadow and I think this may be who the family is refering to.
