  • Suffolk RO

    I shall be in Ipswich & Lowestoft for 3 days the week after next. Facing 26 hours of trawling through Parish Records, some respite would be welcome.

    If anyone has a specific event with 'rough' dates they want checked, I'll give it a go.

    If I may take you up on your kind offer.

    There is a submitted marriage on the IGI that if it is correct could solve a big mystery

    All the IGI has is...

    Marriage at Cowlinge in 1809
    Joseph Frost to Elizabeth Teverson

    Any more detail and confirmation of the brides surname would be wonderful.

    Many, many thanks

          What a very kind offer. I'm afraid this wouldn't really count as respite from parish records, but hoping you might be able to fit them in, please?

          There is a "submitted" entry on the IGI for Ann Salter, 15 Feb 1707, "Loustofe, Suffolk", which I am assuming is Lowestoft, but it doesn't say who she married. I know the whole thing could be made up, but the date does seem quite specific (although I can't tell if it has been "corrected" for the Julian / Gregorian switch or not, so possibly the year should be 1706). I'm hoping she married a Mr Kell; if you get the chance could you have a look for me, please?

          And the other one is Farrow Salter - he got married in Great Yarmouth 22 Jan 1722 but the Great Yarmouth PR's don't say who he married! As he was "of Lowestoft", I'm hoping there might be a Lowestoft banns book which might give his bride's name, hopefully Rebecca something.

          Hope you enjoy yourself!

            Hi Glen

            Please could you look up the bap of John Baldry about 1793 in Horham Suffolk. I know most thing about him except this and his parents names.

            If there are loads per year don't worry if you can't do it.


            Thanks so much for the offer.

              The respite comes in looking for something specific with a fair chance of actually finding it instead of ploughing through hoping a significant name will catch the eye.

              I can certainly manage the first Kite, but I don't believe Banns were kept until after Hardwicke's Marriage Act.

              Is it the actual PRs that you have looked at or a transcription for Gt Yarmouth? What about A/B/D Transcripts? I'm fairly certain that Lowestoft has copies of Yarmouth PRs but I think the Archbishop's Transcripts or equivalent are in Norwich.

              I'll do what I can.

                    Thank you for your kind offer Glen.

                    If you have time please can you look for:
                    George Sporle/Spoole/Sperle/Spall
                    Censuses give his birth year as 1809-1811.b IPSWICH.
                    I expect him to have been born in St Peter's or St Helen's but possibly St Mary Stoke parish.
                    I know his mother was Mary, a widow on censuses so I'm hoping the father will be Samuel- buried 1837 Stoke Green Baptist Church.
                    Samuel was a prominent baptist and all his children have registered births at Stoke Green Baptist Church except Samuel:(. It doesn't give the date of the registering so don't know when Samuel became a baptist.
                    George was the youngest child approx 5 years after his nearest sibling Charlotte b 1805.
                    All the other siblings are on IGI so I'm hoping that George is in another register that the IGI hasn't filmed.

                    A marriage between Samuel Sporle and Mary c 1785 at St Helens or St Peters would be appreciated if you have nothing else to do LOL

                    Have a good day

                      Oops, sorry!

                      It is transcribed on the IGI and someone went to look it up in the Great Yarmouth PR's for me and said the same - no name given for the bride - but they didn't have time to look at the Archbishop's Transcripts etc.

                            Hi Glen

                            Please can you have a look at these

                            Wingfield

                            Robert Haggett/Haggith baptised 19/7/1812
                            Sarah Haggett/Haggith buried 1/9/1812

                            Thanks

                              Hi Glen

                              Thank you for your kind offer. Would there be any chance of looking for a burial for William JONES of Yoxford, he died on Christmas Day 1839, & was buried shortly after, around Dec 1839/Jan 1840. I would also be interested in an obituary for him if they have local papers for Yoxford there. It may come under Blythburgh/Southwold.

                              I would also be very interested if you could find out any information regarding a ship called the "Heart of Oak" it would have been built around 1836 in Dunwich. If there is a list of ship owners for that period it would be great if you could find the owner's name for me.

                              Thank you

                                That is such a kind offer and if you are obviously going to be busy. If time allows I would like to know if the baptism of Jonathan (maybe Johnthan or otherwise) Fisk in 1771 at Redlingfield shows his parents please.

                                I hope you have a successful time with your own research.

                                      Kat - request noted.

                                      Jay - noted.

                                      Joan - some of your requests may be rather more time-consuming than a straight forward look-up but I'll do my best.

                                        Thank you for your kind offer and I hope I'm not too late.

                                        Could you please check Leiston baptisms for me for John Button bc 1796 and, if it's not too much trouble and you have time, confirm a marriage - it's on the IGI:
                                        Reydon Suffolk, 10 April 1821 - John Button to Mary Word (or Ward?)

                                        Thanks so much.
