In my constant search for the identity of Edward SPAULDING of Braintree MA, I've often been told that an Edward married a Margaret ELLIOTT of Redenhall, Norfolk, England. However, no one seems to be able to supply proof of their marriage. Also, there is debate about whether this is the couple who either migrated directly to Braintree MA or were the same couple who were in VA and then MA (I doubt they were in VA, but...). So, I've decided to explore a different route. :-) __Mayflower Families Through Five Generations __, Volume 4 (1990) contains the information that Robert FULLER, father of Edward and Samuel FULLER who were "Mayflower" passengers, married Sarah DUNKHORN in January 1572/73 in Starston Parish, Norfolk, England. Robert lived in Redenhall, which was near Starston. Sarah died and he married Frances ___. Robert FULLER's daughter Sarah bp. 1586 supposedly married James SPALDING in Redenhall. Robert's 1614 will does mention his son-in-law James SPALDING, but the FULLER Redenhall marriages listed in NEHGR 55:412-413 doesn't show James and Sarah's marriage. They may have married in a neighboring parish. I am very interested in this couple because of the Redenhall connection. Also, according to the parish records published in NEHGR 55:413-414, Rafe [Ralph?] FULLER married an Elizabeth ELIOT in Redenhall in 1608 (they were supposedly the parents of Thomas FULLER of Dedham MA). Also, an Alice FULLER "widow, dau. of Robert ELIOT" was buried in Redenhall in 1626. I wonder if Edward SPAULDING and James SPAULDING were related? Were these ELIOTs connected to the Margaret who supposedly married Edward? And, since Sarah FULLER was the sister of Edward and Samuel FULLER, is it possible that Edward SPAULDING was in Leiden, Holland before coming to America? Is that why no one seems to be able to find info on him prior to his settlement in Braintree MA? Anyway, it is worth a look. I appreciate any help. Vickie Elam White
