Hello. I am trying to prove if James Souter born 1773 & John Souter born 1774 in Cockfield Suffolk are brothers . This is a quandary,I don't think that I can answer on my own. I have asked questions about my Souter tree before , but never this question. James moved to Clerkenwell and have found him there on a census . John I think never moved out of Cockfield Thank you

They would have married long before the introduction of a space for father's name in marriage registers so your best bet would be to look for their baptism records which hopefully name their parents. Another possibility is if the father left a will naming both James and John, or if one of the brothers named the other in a will.Judith passed away in October 2018

James Souter married Martha Crick 22/2/1801in Cockfield . I have their marriage, from the Cockfield Parish records . James moved his family to Clerkenwell by the 1851 census. Can you please find John on the 1841 census and maybe that will give me the clue I need
Thank youI think, therefore I am. Descarte

Morning Sheila,
The parish registers for Cockfield and Hartest ( both Sudbury Deanery) have both been filmed for the dates you require by FS. I can only assume that the registers are in such a poor condition so as to be unreadable for the date you need or James was not baptised in either of those parishes. Suffolk is particularly poorly served by transcribers (online) but Suffolk FHS has parishes register transcripts on disc. http://www.suffolkfhs.co.uk/parishes.html
I found a marriage for a Thomas Suttor and Sarah Austin 10 Nov 1761 - no church given but the film no shows it to be a parish within the Sudbury Deanery

Morning John No I haven't , but I still think it is 1 stretch to far . We can prove James but not John there does not seem to be any reference to his ( John ) mum & dad anywhere . I think I am to far away to really find out . You would have to go to Cockfield I think
