I am new to this sight so I don't really know where to ask for help. I would like to visit monk soham in 2 mnths time, but before this I wanted to ask if there is anyone who lives locally to monk soham, suffolk if they would look at the local cemetry (st peters anglican church) and possibly Earl Soham which is quite near for relatives of mine. That way I can look for them when I visit. If anyone can help I would be really grateful, I live down in East Sussex. Thanks again.

Hallo and welcome to the site.
I can't help - but I do know that you can traipse round cemeteries and not find anything. I don't know how large St. Peter's churchyard is, but it might be a better bet to go to the county records office and check the burial registers there. Some record offices also have plans showing where the graves are - not everyone would have had a gravestone and not every gravestone will have survived or be legible.~ with love from Little Nell~Chowns, Dunt, Emms, Mealing, Purvey & Smoothy

Thanks for answering, I am going to contact the records office but I know it might take up to 8 weeks to get the results back. I just would like to have had some idea so that when I go to suffolk hopefully in the next 5 weeks I know who might be there. Thanks again Lindsey.

I went to Suffolk a few weeks ago to visit some of the villages my family lived and died in. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't find any of my family in any of the graveyards until I reached Walsham Le Willows where there is a WW1 headstone for my grandmother's cousin. Although I was a bit disappointed, it was still lovely to see where they had once lived. Suffolk is a beautiful place. We stayed in Bury St Edmunds and travelled around the many villages from there.
