This is Samford Hundred in Suffolk.
Suffolk Pubs History The Samford hundred, like many other areas in Suffolk, is a region incorporating many very small villages and medium sized towns. I am interested from the view point of Raydon, only - but actually this is wrong. When you realise that two villages (e.g. Raydon and Shelley) are probably about a mile apart, it starts you wondering whether they ought to be classified as the same place. Today, a mile is at the end of our road! A map in 1836 Every Essex Public House & All the London Pubs too
Here is a start to Samford. Quoting from the Whites 1844 Directory. And links are to the 1841 census.
These can all be searched by surname (only) through the Essex & Suffolk Search engine - see the bottom of this page.
What does this table mean? It is the acreage of each parish and the population for each in 1801 and 1841. Plus: From the Cosford Hundred::: The best site in Suffolk is :The Cosford Database Here is a map of the area. Plus a list of all the parishes and the Hundred they reside in : Suffolk Surname List - Parishes of Suffolk And already transcribed (by others) are : lots more from Freston Suffolk and also Chelmondiston census indexes Samford (Part) 1891 Census Index - wow. Of course, we must not forget that you can visit the *Census | Record Office | Heritage and not forgetting some gravestones at the Suffolk Gravestone Photographic Resource Project
The rest of Samford is on the cards, maybe, hopefully. Lots of World Vision donations would help!! And Wickham Skeith, and all the Suffolk Workhouses ; and 1851 Carlton . Plus, Haverhill-UK - 1891 Census - and Preston St Mary and Parish Register For Woolpit, Suffolk Not in Samford, but a partial index for Mendlesham is here.
