Wiseman Family

Sandra has approached me for help with some of the detail for her family:

My great, great, great grand father was RICHARD WISEMAN, born c1795.

He married ISABELLA CLARKE at GLEMSFORD CHURCH on 20 March 1820.

They had possibly 6/7 children, church records show most of them as baptised at the church:
LEONARD GOTTO 1820
WALTER 1822 RICHARD'S TRADE molster?
ARTHUR 1824 RICHARD'S TRADE miller
SUSANNAH 1826
JOHN 1828 my great, great grandfather
JAMES 1830
GEORGE C1832 died 1832 aged 7? buried at the church

When Arthur married, at Long Melford in 1851, the marriage certificate stated that his father, RICHARD WISEMAN was deceased; a miller.

I have been able to trace some of the siblings of RICHARD and ISABELLA to Long Melford, some I believe stayed in Glemsford: e.g. the 1901 Census shows a son of the above John (1828), Walter, living with his wife, Mary and their children in Brook Street.

I would very much like to continue back to trace RICHARD'S history, where he was born, his father, whether he an Isabella stayed in Glemsford.

Sandra knows there was some connection with the Horse Hair Industry.

If anyone can help, please use the usual channels.

This is pure speculation "big time"

I am wondering where the name Gotto came from and I found the following marriage on Boyds marriage index. Its a long way back, but maybe a family name that was handed down, but as I say big assumptions on my part.

1664 / WISEMAN JUDITH / GOTTER NIC / WORSTEAD / NORFOLK

This story could be connected to the family.

From the Ipswich Journal= Sept. 8th, 1804.

Saturday last as the son of Mr. Wiseman, of Hawkedon, was riding the shaft horse in an empty harvest wagon, the animal fell down,which frightening the other two horses, they ran away with the wagon, dragging the young man and the horse till the rein which he held broke, when the wheels went over his body and he received very severe injury, but hopes are entertained of his recovery.
