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.
Blomfield's biography written by his son: "while he was living at the neighbouring village of Hildersham, ... he lost his wife, who was a person of delicate constitution, and of whose six children only one lived beyond childhood. He writes thus to his friend Monk on the occasion :— "Hildersham [Feb. 1818]. "My Dear Friend,—You have heard of the heavy visitation with which God has afflicted me. I have lost her, of whom I was not worthy. It is my particular wish that, by attending the funeral, you should mark your friendship for me, and pay the last tribute of respect to one who entertained for you the most sincere regard and esteem. I cannot write any more; the bearer of this will tell you the rest. Your afflicted friend, C. J. Blomfield." She was buried at Chesterford—a melancholy beginning of his new life".
Morning Post - Thursday 23 April 1863: "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."
