The Tydeman Family in Australia

Preface.

This work is a first attempt to record the history of the early Tydeman family in Australia. There are a number of gaps and uncertainties and I would welcome correspondence from anyone who can add to or correct any of my work and anyone who is interested in the UK ancestry of these early immigrants. Please contact me at

Introduction

The Tydeman family are recorded in the parish records of Earl Stonham in the county of Suffolk, UK as far back as 1657. Indeed the first entry of the earliest existing register states that William Tydeman was sworn in to keep the records. There after there are numerous records of the Tydeman (or Tideman etc) family including over 120 baptisms up to 1850. The name Edmund is very common and often difficult to distinguish from Edward, making analysis difficult. More unusual Christian names such as Brice, Leman (or Leoman etc) and Scapy are also represented.

The photographs here show Earl Stonham church and its beautiful roof which has been described by the historian Pevsner as one of the most magnificent in Suffolk.

Many generations of the Tydeman family were baptised, married and buried here.
