Suffolk RO Lookups - Ongoing

[Oakum Picker]

Hi Glen,

Next time you go to the records office would you check a marriage for me. A number of people on ancestry have a marriage between William Brinkley and Harriet Waller. The marriage took place 1 Dec 1843, Norton Suffolk. My William was born 1823 and christened 1 Jun 1823. What concerns me is whether this is my William Brinkley as there are other William Brinkleys born around the same time in Norton. The fathers name may help accept or reject whether this is the correct marriage and the witnesses may further help.

Many thanks, Sandra

Many thanks

The William BRINKLEY who married Harriet WALLER appears to be the one baptised 1/6/1823.

Harriot WALLER 18 S Norton Thomas Farmer
Wit: William WALLER Mary BRINKLEY Only Harriot signed & that's how she spelled her name.

I see on the gedcom that you have the BRINKLEYs going way back but having nothing better to do I went through a lot of the Norton register noting events so if you have any missing marriages, births/baptisms or deaths/burials give me the names & I'll see if I recorded them.

Thanks for the info Glen. I sent my email to the general contact email address so I'll see if I can find one specific to Bury RO.

Thanks again.

Hi Glen,

You are a star.

And as it seems such a shame to waste all your hard work do you have the marriage date of William's sister who married William Barrell Stow 1844?

Other missing pieces include further information on James Brinkley born 1830(Norton) - did he die?, Laura Brinkleys marriage to William Cornish in Norton 1852, and Thomas Brinkley born 1807, shows on the 1841 census did he die?

Best wishes,
Sandra

William BARRELL 21 B Lab Norton James (Deceased) Shoemaker
Mary Ann BRINKLEY 20 Servant Norton William Lab
Wit: George BRINKLEY Elizabeth SATTLER(that's what it looked like but can't find anything remotely similar) All made their marks.

James BRINKLEY son of William & Elizabeth married Mary BUCKLE in 1848 & then disappears. They appear to register a son James George in 1847 & baptise him George James in 1848 before they marry. He may be the 7 year old who dies in May 1854.

William's (1802) brother Thomas (1807) & his wife Mary SMITH have 2 James.
14/10/1828 - 10/12/1829 14 mths
1/8/1830 & I believe it is he who dies 26/11/1864 aged 34.

1/6/1852
William CORNISH 21 B Lab Norton Robert Brickmaker
Laura BRINKLEY 17 S Norton William Lab
Wit: Elizabeth RAWLINSON George PLEASANT Only Elizabeth signed.

Thomas (1807) marries at least twice & wife Elizabeth states her condition as Married in 1851 & Widow in 1861. However there was no burial for Thomas in Norton.

[Sherbertrose]

Hi Glen,

Thank you for the information it really is appreciated. Do you have any information on Thomas's (born 1807)second marriage to Elizabeth. I have managed to find his first marriage to Mary Smith but not the second marriage - I am wondering if they married?

As and when I get my head around all you have sent me I may ask if you have other information on my Brinkley's if this is not taking too much of a liberty. I haven't looked at my Brinkley line for quite a while so I need to get my head round them again!!

Many thanks,

Sandra

Thomas BRINKLEY FA W Lab Norton William Lab
Elizabeth BATEMAN FA S Norton James Lab
Wit: John RUDDOCK Catherine CREAM? I wasn't too sure of her name but I also came across an Amos CRAME as a witness at the William BRINKLEY/Elizabeth RICE marriage so probably correct. They all made their marks.

I also have a birth for Elizabeth RICE which I think is correct as an Isaac is born to the same parents & in 1841 William & Elizabeth (RICE) BRINKLEY & Isaac are in the same building. Plus the other witness to the marriage is Martha RICE who also has the same parents.

Elizabeth RICE d. Robert/Mary (late MULLEY) b. 20/7/1801 bapt. 24/7/1801. All these appear to be on the IGI.

You probably already have those as I now remember you asking about Robert & Mary - found the latter's baptism again in 1767.

I'll wait now until you ask for something unless you have a tree on Ancestry & I can check if I have anything you don't.

[Oakum Picker]

Sandra, I'm putting them here so others can 'google'.

Some of these you have but at least a couple you have the death date as a burial. I was intending to sort them into family groups but I think I'll leave that to you. I'll make the odd comment as to who I think they are.

Hi Glen,

Once again many thanks. I am just processing all the information. I have just realised I do not have George Brinkley's second marriage to Elizabeth Bloomfield 1Q of 1871. The marriage, I am guessing, took place in Norton. Do you have this marriage?

No, sorry I don't. The later marriages were on fiche & I didn't really go through those, only looking for burials. Remind me next time.

Morning Glen,

I'll see what I can find Kat.
You're trying to confuse me (not difficult), aren't you, appearing on here?

[Sherbertrose]

Hi Glen,

If you have time please would you look for a marriage of Salome Codd. This lady is a bit of a puzzle. She was born 1828 Onehouse, parents James Codd and Sophia Blundell. There is a marriage on ancestry for Salome Codd to Charles Parker 1850, 1st Q stow. The problem I have is it is very difficult to verify this marriage as I can not find Salome after 1850 (assuming this is the correct marriage). May be she died?

I wonder if you could throw some light on this one.

Doing a little background research on this one & I found Salome (as Saloma) in 1851 with Charles PARKER in Needham. Her age is way out but her birthplace is Onehouse. I'll look there for the marriage as that's in Stow & try & confirm this is her.

I think Charles dies in 1860. I 1861 Salona (sic) a widow, 30 is still in Needham with 4 children.

[Sherbertrose]

Hi Glen,

Thank you. I never spotted this one. It is definitely a possibility. I wonder if she lied about her age because of the age difference between her and Charles.

Unfortunately I came across a Richard LEE before I did your lookup so didn't record all details. He appears in the 1811 Census for St Clements living in Fore St, working in trade with 6 males & 1 female in the family. Not sure if this is yours although the extra bodies could be his first family. Richard LEE was also in 1801 & 1821 & I think in one there was a snr & jnr.

In the ledger for relief of the poor 1819-1823 he appears many times. I'm pretty sure it's him as he only has a wife & one child & in 1821 he mentions the latter is a boy of 9.

I did have a look back to 1798 for an earlier marriage but nothing.

I keep losing my connection so this will have to be my last post tonight.
