Hi I contacted the Littleport Society a couple of times but never really got a reply from him. The couple i did get was to say he had been on holiday and come home to so many emails etc. I have been trying to find the right place to get Charles and Rachel marriage certificate to see if that has some answers but i am not sure how i go about that. As far as getting the death certificate i figured that if he diappeared from the clergy list then he must have left the contry. And with the age of William it doesnt really tie in either.
