Hi there, Tubby was my grandmother's Uncle too. Her name was Florence Adelaide Stonham Born 1889 in Ore, Hastings. William Stonham and Daisy ended up in Canada, where their one daughter Janet married a Bedford from Alberta whom I have recently been in touch with. He also remembers tales of Tubby Mills Stonham. have been working on the Stonham Family for several years now if it's any help to you. J Woolcott

The above seems all very confusing to me! My mother is related to Alfred (Biddy) Stonham. This is her Great Uncle. In the 1891 Census he was living in West Street, Hastings with his Father Wlliam, Mother Anne (nee White). His siblings were William, James, Joseph, George, Frederick, Richard, Elizabeth and Annie.

I've only heard him being called Biddy, not Tubby.

I'm in some way related to biddy. He's my great great grandfather of something like that. I remember my grandfather talking about him.

I remember Biddy in his tub in the 1940's

If I remember there is a posting on Biddy on this site that you should be able to locate using the search facility. There was a lot of postings

Well remembered Gerry.

And there's also this one that mentions Stonhams and Biddy...
