Curiously the bishop’s wife in 1851 was clearly named as Dorothy Blomfield, aged 58 and born in Kingston, Surrey.  I wonder if Dorothy was the second wife?  Indeed true!

I owe these snippets to Jerome Nicholas Vlieland’s site:

“Wednesday 18 February 1818 Bury and Norwich Post - "On Monday last, at Hildersham, Cambridgeshire, in the 32d year of her age, most truly and deservedly lamented, Mrs. Blomfield, wife of the Rev. Charles James Blomfield, Rector of Chesterford, Essex".

“Monday 02 March 1818 Morning Post - DIED — On Monday 16th ult at Hildersham in Cambridgeshire. Anna Maria, wife of the Rev. C.J. Blomfield, Rector of Ohesterford, in Essex. Possessed with a singular serenity of mind, she bore a protracted illness with exemplary patience and pious resignation, and endowed with every social and Christian virtue that could adorn the woman, wife, or mother. she has left an inconsolable husband, with three small children, and a numerous circle of admiring friends, who deeply lament her loss, and will ever revere her memory.”

“According to Blomfield's biography (which was written by his son Alfred Blomfield M A). Anna Maria Blomfield was buried at Chesterford “

“Thursday 23 April 1863: Morning Post (further extract) "In 1817 he (Blomfield) was presented by the Marquis of Bristol to the valuable livings of Great and Little Chesterford, in Essex ; and Tuddenham, in Suffolk. He had thus to occupy, as rector, the dwelling in which he commenced his clerical life as curate. But he was scarcely settled in it when he lost his wife. Her naturally delicate constitution had been shaken by the birth of six children in less than seven years, of whom only one survived infancy."

So far I have found four of these children, born in Dunton, Bucks with two dying there as well:

Baptisms, probably with the births shortly before:

17 Feb 1813  Charles James son of Charles James & Anna Maria BLOMFIELD of Dunton, Clerk, MA, Rector of Dunton

24 Mar 1814  Maria daughter of Charles James & Anna Maria BLOMFIELD of Dunton, Clerk, Rector of Dunton

9 Aug 1815  Charles William son of Charles James & Anne Maria BLOMFIELD of Dunton, Clerk, Rector of Dunton

8 Dec 1816  Edward Thomas born 3 Dec 1816 son of Charles James & Anna Maria BLOMFIELD, Clerk, Rector of Dunton

And then the two burials and deaths:

22 Nov 1813  Charles James BLOMFIELD aged 9m of Dunton
10 Dec 1815  Charles William BLOMFIELD aged 4m of Dunton

The ages at death and the baptism dates confirm that the births were very shortly before the baptisms.
