Hi to you all.
My name is Brenda and i have been researching my family tree(Bickers) for the past six years now but have hit a brick wall and need help to move on. I live in Portsmouth but my Bickers family lived in Suffolk and so find it difficult to gather further information.
My problem is trying to find the right father for my ggggrandfather Charles Bickers b1814 in Theberton Suffolk. Charles married Sarah Rooke in Middleton Suffolk on 4th march 1838,and on the marriage certificate states that his father was Thomas Bicker.
I have looked in the IGI Index and found that Charles parents were Thomsas Bicker and Mary ann Clarke, unfortunatley it does not give me any more details about them.
I need to find out which Thomas this was as there seems to be a couple of possibilities.
Who do i contact and where do i go for a possible lookup?
Is the IGI Index a reliable source?
Can anyone suggest what my next move should be?
This my first time on this site so please forgive me if i seem a little vague.
Brenda
