Goldings of Glemsford; Morlings of Leiston
I'm always happy to help with research if I can. I only have available the sort of resources that anyone can find online, but I do enjoy the search!
Sandra sent me this query:
I am looking for any information on the Morling family from Glemsford. Ephriam Morling, born 1820, married an Elizabeth, he was a tallow chandler. Any information at all would be most helpful.
In an initial hunt, I was able to find out this (with the usual health warnings about not jumping to conclusions):
In 1841, Ephrem and Elizabeth Morling were living with the family of Philip Golding, on Brook St, Glemsford.
Ephrem is recorded as a Chandler.
Ephrem (sic) and Elizabeth seem to have married in the second quarter of 1841 - it must have been just about the same time as the census was taken - I'm almost certain Elizabeth was born a Golding.
In 1851, Ephraim and Elizabeth Morling were in Leiston, with their children Alfred (9), Edgar (6), Emma (4) and Eliza (10 months). Ephraim is described as a Tallow Chandler. Ephraim and Eliza were both born in Leiston; Elizabeth and the other children were born in Glemsford, so the family possibly moved back to Leiston round about 1850.
In 1861, Ephriam (sic) and Elizabeth were living at Prospect Place, Leiston, with their family, now including Celina and Charles (8 and 5) both born in Leiston. Ephriam was still a Tallow Chandler.
At the moment I can't find Ephraim and Elizabeth in 1871, but I suspect they were still around - I have found death registrations for Ephriam in 1872 and Elizabeth in 1880. But in 1871 they seem to have evaporated!
Possibly this is because someone has misread the names on the online census material - they are shown as Marling in 1851, for instance.
However, in 1871, their son Edgar was living on Sizewell Road, Leiston with his wife Alice, and their daughters Anne and Alice. Significantly, Edgar was a Tallow Chandler.
That's as far as I've got so far, although I have begun to trace the other children of Ephraim and Elizabeth, who seem to have moved around a bit!
It also looks as though there were a number of Morling families in Leiston. Two at least make it into the mid- to late-century business directories.
As usual, if anyone else has anything to add, you can add it as a comment here, or email me and I will pass it on to Sandra.

Morling - William Pemberton Morling married Dorothy Nicolas. They moved to Manotick (Ottawa area), Ontario, CANADA and gave birth to Joy (1922?) and Arthur (Nick) (1925).
This is all I know although I would enjoy knowing more as I am the grandson of William Pemberton Morling and the son of Arthur (Nick).
Also, I am the great grandson of Susan Seeley (married name). A true Lady from England, Lady Susan came to Canada to reside with a guardian when her Lord father passed on. Susan had 5 daughters who all lived in the Toronto, Ontario, CANADA area. I would enjoy knowing more about this as well. Thank you. Scott Morling
