Rev. William Corbould

William Corbould was appointed Stipendiary Curate to the parish of Deopham on May 30th 1832 on a salary of £50 plus surplice fees¹.
He first appears in the Deopham Burials Register on August 3rd 1832 when he officiated at the burial of Mary Semmence; his last burial service was on September 30th 1833 when he officiated at the funeral of Mary Jessup..

The Church of England Clergy database indicates that his career was fast-tracked since in 1832 he

• Gained his B.A.
• Was made a deacon
• Was appointed curate (Deopham)
• Was ordained priest

A private Corbould genealogical document contains the following information, which is consistent with the Church of England Clergy Database:

REV. WILLIAM CORBOULD-WARREN, B.A., b. at Bracon Lodge, Norfolk, 27 July 1806, baptised privately at Bracon Ash 13 Aug. 1806, received into the congregation 19 March 1810, educated at Norwich Grammar School (member of the Valpeian Club) and at Emmanuel College, Cambridge.
In 1836 the Crown, presumably by lapse, presented him to the Rectory of Tacolneston, which he held till his death 30 Aug. 1858. He assumed the additional arms of Warren by a grant of the College of Arms in 1853, and by a decree dated 19 July 1813, p. 2137 London Gazette, changed his name to CORBOULD-WARREN on succeeding to the advowson and Tacolneston Hall in trust for life under the will of Elizabeth Catherine (née Howard), widow of his uncle the Rev. John Warren, Rector and Patron of Tacolneston. His will, dated 15 Sep. 1857, was proved 16 Dec. 1858 by his widow.
He married 12 June 1839, ANNE (b. 29 Dec. 1812, d. 20 Oct. 1864), daughter of Sir William CUBITT, kt., of Dilham, Norfolk, and of Ipswich, C.E., F.R.S. (1830), President of the Institute of Civil Engineers, Chief Engineer of the S.E. Railway, and of Messrs. Ransome, Ipswich.²
