    Charlotte Orfford married James Smith 17/06/1844 at Bury St Edmunds. Father named as George (occ. Maltster) Charlottes DOB based on her declared age in 1851 census is 1822/23 place of birth Wyverstone,Suffolk.
    I cannot trace:
    DOB and Place of Birth for her father George Orfford
    or Name of Charlottes mother and her DOB and place.

    Can anyone assist?

    By the way, it looks like the name of ORFORD was in Stowmarket for some time as the 1790 Poll Pook also has a James ORFORD listed. :)
