    3. I have totally given up on finding any new information on my SALMON ancestors,but the recent postings about Sandtoft and Thorney reawakened my interest. I know there is a JUDITH SALMON mentioned at Sandtoft,marrying a DUBOIS. There are several SALMON'S mentioned as sponsors at Thorney and also various baptisms, showing a strong link between the SALMON family and the CAILLET family. There being several baptisms with the mothers being a SALMON, ( another Judith here), and the fathers a CAILLET. There are many SALMON'S later at Thetford,( Ayelsham and St Mary's) and my great great grandfather, Richard Westney SALMON turns up there in 1775 in a marriage entry to Elizabeth FAUX. . What I do not have is a link between Thorney and Thetord. Anyone researching the CAILLET family may have come across SALMON'S therefore, or is there anyone who can suggest a line of research as to where they may have gone from Thorney. In the 1700's and 1800's the SALMON'S were very strongly connected with the Methodist church,one being a missionary in SURAT INDIA, and some itinerant preachers in England, and pastors in America and Australia. I have followed one of them several generations in Richland, Oswego New York state, until loosing the thread in NEW YORK.around 1910. Judith Waltham (nee SALMON)
