        • Alf,

          I am visiting Suffolk next weekend but only for a couple of days so unlikely to get to the RO. If you are in no hurry, I'll certainly look for Ebenezer in the New year.

            • There was nothing in Gt Glemham for GIRLING. I also checked Lt Glemham in case there was a mix-up but again no luck. I then looked at Benhall. There were GIRLINGs there from 1770s to 1792. If there is anywhere else you'd like me look let me know.

                  • Alf,

                    The 1851 Census shows him as born in Glemham aged 55. Is this where your info. comes from? Was John his eldest child as the chap having children in Benhall was a John? Any likelihood that he was non-conformist? Do you have a copy of the marriage? If not I can have a look at that to see if there is anything there to help but being pre-1837 there won't be a lot.

                    • Hi Glen,

                      Last summer you very kindly found the marriage of George Blundell and Elizabeth Newman. Could I ask if you could look for a baptism for Elizabeth. I think she would be born c1773 (based on the age of her husband). Her husband was baptised and the marriage took place in Rattlesden. If you are able to find a possible baptism I would also appreciate the names any siblings of Elizabeth.

                      I know you do not go to Suffolk very often at this time of year - there is no rush they have been a long time dead a few more months isn't going to make any difference!!

                      Many thanks, Sandra

                        • Glen,

                          He probably got the info from the census,I can check. John was his eldest born 1826 Benhall. The marriage info was through the Packard side. I'm afraid as you say pre 1837 makes it hard.He had 8 children and I have found families for six of them but none of them have anything on Eber. He was married 14/3/1820 Benhall and was down as a widower.He died 1854.Plomesgate which covers a lot of area. As he was only a farm labourer, no wills And couldn't find a grave stone. i was told his wife was on the church after he died.Thank's again Glen,all the best.

                          • Good Morning Oakum Picker from Tropical North Queensland, I am trying to push the Souter side of my tree back as far as I can, I have got to James Souter Born c1781 in Cockfield Suffolk . According to the www site The People of Cockfield he was married to Martha Crick in Cockfield in 1801 and had 7 children. Is it possible you could find anything more out of James, I don't know if this father & mother's name would be in the records or where where they came from. It sounds a lot but if you could help I'll think you are up for saint hood
                            Thanks

                            • I'll have a look at Cockfield for you Sheila the next time I'm there which may not be for another month or so but I always check here before I go.

                                • Hi Glen! Thanks for your kind offer - I've finally (possibly) made it over the border from Norfolk into Suffolk.

                                  The IGI (extracted records) show Robert Hawes christened 2 Sep 1744 to parents Thomas & Ann in Walsham-le-Willows, Suffolk. His siblings appear to be:

                                  John (chr. 1746) Mary (49) William (53) Hannah (57) Thomas (62) James (64) John (65) Robert (67) William (69)

                                  If you're able to view the original register (transcription if you can't) then I'd be glad of answers to these:

                                  1) Did any of these die young? For instance, Did Robert christened 1744 die before Robert (1767) was born?
                                  2) Did the mother Ann die, say 1755-63, and then Thomas remarry another Ann?
                                  3) Did Ann die 1785-90? If so (and don't worry about this too much as it may take too long) are you able to find out if there was a will?
                                  4) More generally, what is the quality of the film like? Does it include baptisms, marriages AND burials? What dates? If the answers to (1) - (3) are what I want to hear then I may buy my own copy of the film for long term research.

                                  I realise I'm asking quite a lot there. If it's too much, please take them in order and stop when you've had enough.

                                  Thanks again for the offer!
                                  Kind regards,

                                    Hi William,

                                    My next 3 day research trip is in March so all requests will get done by then but I do manage to get the odd hour in the RO on other trips. All Suffolk PRs are on fiche so you would probably only need a few for the time-span although I see the submitted entries on the IGI go way back.

                                    Did your CRICKMOREs ever cross the border? I've been looking for my gg-gf for 10 years. You don't have a Henry born anytime between 1799 & 1810 who disappears do you? Although in all probability he just wasn't baptised.
                                    Glen

                                    • Hi Glen,

                                      thanks for your quick response.

                                      If the link is confirmed then Robert is a almost certainly a 'gateway' ancestor taking me back to c1200...so I'd want the whole lot! Judging by the Suffolk RO, the registers for Walsham-le-Willows are transcriptions on fiche or the originals on film. I'd rather have the latter - and believe that, although not ideal, I could view it on my fiche-reader. But I'm getting ahead of myself there!

                                      My most modern Crickmore was born c1730 - she married into the Millatt family...totally Norfolk as far as I can see. A quick FreeREG search for Henry Crickmore in Norfolk at that time finds just one: Sarah daur of Henry & Sarah Crickmore was baptised 10 Sep 1817 in the parish of Ellingham. He's a little young to be likely though...and you've probably seen him already. You can see my Crickmore's at http://wulliam.co.uk/2genealogy/fam392.html if you wish.
                                      Kind regards,

                                        I can't find what exactly the RO has for sale online & I don't think I've looked at Walsham but I have looked at a couple of hundred of the others & certainly in Ipswich & Lowestoft they are on fiche except for an odd register or 2 which were too large for filming for fiche & several parishes are together on one film. Transcripts of the parishes are available on film & are a good place to start for some of the early records which are still difficult to read even when you know they are there. BTs are an absolute No-No as they are filmed yearly in alphabetical order of Deanery & alphabetical order of parish within that Deanery & of course they are on film.

                                        Still, I'll get back to you in due course with what I've been able to find.

                                        • Hi
                                          Any chance of a look up when you are next in the archives? (I am in Greece so it’s hard to get over there.)
                                          I am looking for:
                                          Marriage of Joseph Rice to an Ann ? around 1825, in the Groton area
                                          Birth of that Joseph Rice 1799/1800 in Hadleigh (father James, mother unknown)
                                          And birth of James Rice 1781, same area
                                          Any details concerning James and/or Joseph Rice would be much appreciated. If it helps: Joseph’s daughter Mary Ann Rice (b 1827) married a Jesse Farthing Nov 1850 in Great Waldingfield, Suffolk
                                          Thank you
