Biography

Lydia (Stedman) Isted was born in Sussex, England.

Lyddy Edgecomb Stedman was christened at Slaugham, Sussex on 14 August 1761. Her mother was Mary Stedman.^[1][2][3]

Lydia Stedman gave birth to a daughter Elizabeth Stedman who was christened on 21 October 1787.^[4]

Thomas Isted married Lydia Stedman at Slaugham, Sussex on 4 April 1788.^[5] They had the following children:

• Henry Isted, christened 7 March 1790 at Slaugham^[6]
• Henry Isted, christened 8 September 1793 at Slaugham^[7]
• Lydia Isted, christened 19 March 1797 at Slaugham^[8]

Lydia was buried at Slaugham on 30 April 1800.^[9]

Research Notes

It is probable that Lydia was born out of wedlock to mother Mary. There was a Mary Stedman christened in Slaugham on 6 January 1737^[10] which is the likely mother. There is no record of a Richard Stedman marrying any Mary in Sussex in the 50 years prior to Lydia's christening. There was a Richard Stedman who was christened in Slaugham on 20 April 1735^[11] and married a widowed Sarah Orten there on 16 April 1760.^[12] Richard is therefore not likely to be the father of Lydia but more likely to be a cousin of her mother.
