Hi I am writing to provide an update on the 1891 Suffolk FreeCen project. Another 3 pieces have been uploaded to the on line database and are now searchable for free on the main freecen site at http://www.freecen.org.uk These are pieces RG121468 Ipswich which covers the parishes of St Mary Stoke, St Nicholas, St Peter RG121480 Plomesgate which covers the parishes of Blaxhall, Butley, Campsea Ash, Chillesford, Eyke, Gdgrave, Hacheston, Havergate Island, Iken Marlesford, Orford, Rendlesham, Sudbourne Tunstall, Wantisden, Wickham Market RG121484 Blything which covers the parishes of Chediston, Cookley, Cratfield, Halesworth, Heveningham, Huntingfield, Linstead Magna, Linstead Parva, Peasenhall, Rumburgh, Sibton, Spexhall, Ubbeston, Walpole, Wissett This means that there are now 286,247 (81%) 1891 Suffolk census records available to search free on line.

Hi Rosie So not so much finding Nemo, but finding Dorey ;-) I may have a clue for you, I will email you offlist Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 17/04/2019 23:35, macclesfieldhistorian@gmail.com wrote: > Hello Michael, > > I realise that after 18 years this message will probably not reach you, but I thought it was worth a try. > > I live in Macclesfield and have been researching men who lost their lives in WWI, adding the information to a website (Macclesfield Reflects).

Hello Michael, I realise that after 18 years this message will probably not reach you, but I thought it was worth a try. I live in Macclesfield and have been researching men who lost their lives in WWI, adding the information to a website (Macclesfield Reflects). I have just been browsing through some back-issues of "Old Macc" magazine and found an article by a Chris Dorey, who "lives in Cornwall with her husband Mike" - I'm hoping that's you! The article includes a photo of Frank Warrington who was killed in WWI. I've researched Frank but don't have a photo of him so I'm hoping I can get permission to put the photo on the website with Frank's story, and also pass a copy to my colleague to use in a printed book and in local WWI exhibitions. If I've found the right family I'd be very grateful if you would contact me. Many thanks. Rosie Rowley www.macclesfieldreflects.org.uk

Its a very useful resource You have to enter at least a surname, select the gender, and year (which can be +/- 2 years) But once you get the hang of it, its very easy to use A couple of notes, ages at death for infants can be 1 rather than zero And the transcriptions are far from perfect (like all transcriptions) So do keep an open mind when searching You can select variations for names but it does slow down the search You can enter the registration district, if known The PDFs are usually available after a few days (they send an email to tell you when its available) the image is the centre part of the original registration, so contains all you would get from a paper cert, only much cheaper Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 13/04/2019 17:33, Steve Barber via SUFFOLK wrote: > That is really good to know to avoid applying for certificates and spending money for the wrong person! > Steve

Its been available for some time In the GROs own indexes (same site where you order certificates) Births have mothers maiden name from 1837 onwards (now up to 1918 on the GRO site) Also deaths have age at death from 1837 to 1957 PDF copies are available at £7 The indexes are from the ill fated DOVE project Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 13/04/2019 16:58, Steve Barber via SUFFOLK wrote: > I didn't realise that the mothers maiden name was available before 1911.

Hello Steve I know that some people did give a child the same name as a previous child who died in infancy so perhaps that is what happened in the case of Leah. I would be most interested to hear the result of any visit you can make to the Records Office. I live in Portsmouth so have to do my enquiries on-line. I would also be interested to know if you discover a full address for Robert Gant and Mary Ann Hiskey. The Census Reports just say Elmsett. Thanks for explaining your own connection. During the course of my research, I have made contact with a few other distant relations and one of them told me about the Robert Percy/Ann Gant/Sarah Gant triangle! Worth of the Jeremy Kyle Show were it to happen today! I do not seem to have details of Sarah’s subsequent marriage to Jeremiah Welham though. I had been under the impression that Robert had been married to one of the Gant sisters whilst having an affair with the other. Thanks to the hard work of one of the distant relations, I can tell you that we are all descended from Francis & Johanna Gant whose first child was born in 1682. The lady who did the hard work sent me a 30 page document of Gant descendants which I would be happy to forward to you if you would be interested. I have not read it all myself, just dipped in from time to time. You may well be included in it! I will have to take a look! I have so many notes of so many different branches that I really must get it into some sort of order. Matter are not made easier by the fact that there were such big families and the same names crop up over and over again. I have made a note of your e-mail address and will send a couple of photos of my maternal grandparents with some of their large family. From what I have found out so far, some of the Gant stories are equal to anything on WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE! I am finding it all fascinating, as are my Gant cousins.

I will try to get to the Suffolk Records Office in either Ipswich or Bury to look at Elmsett baptisms, to help confirm whether these were both children of Robet Gant and Mary Ann Hiskey. You asked about my somewhat distant connection. Robert Gant 1841-1896 was son of Robert Gant 1813-1895 and Eliza Holder. Robert’s parents were Robert Percy and Sarah Gant (they were not married and he also fathered a child by Sarah’s sister Ann!) Sarah went on to marry Jeremiah Welham and lived at Raydon. Sarah Gant 1788-1860 was the daughter of Samuel Gant and Hannah Rudland 1759-1820. Hannah was b.at <http://b.at/> Groton and moved to Barking, Suffolk. Her parents, Samuel Rudland and Sarah Griggs were also parents of my ancestor, Samuel Rudland 1745-1786, who married Mary Halls. Their daughter, Mary Rudland 1770-1834 who married John Griggs and they were my direct ancestors. My great grandmother was a Harriet Griggs born at Groton but lived her married life at Dovercourt.

Hi Christine I see on FREEBMD that there was a Leah who was b.and d.1883, and another Leah b.1884. I will try to get to the Suffolk Records Office in either Ipswich or Bury to look at Elmsett baptisms, to help confirm whether these were both children of Robet Gant and Mary Ann Hiskey. You asked about my somewhat distant connection. Robert Gant 1841-1896 was son of Robert Gant 1813-1895 and Eliza Holder. Robert’s parents were Robert Percy and Sarah Gant (they were not married and he also fathered a child by Sarah’s sister Ann!) Sarah went on to marry Jeremiah Welham and lived at Raydon. Sarah Gant 1788-1860 was the daughter of Samuel Gant and Hannah Rudland 1759-1820. Hannah was b.at <http://b.at/> Groton and moved to Barking, Suffolk. Her parents, Samuel Rudland and Sarah Griggs were also parents of my ancestor, Samuel Rudland 1745-1786, who married Mary Halls. Their daughter, Mary Rudland 1770-1834 who married John Griggs and they were my direct ancestors. My great grandmother was a Harriet Griggs born at Groton but lived her married life at Dovercourt. My email is seasidetigger@yahoo.co.uk <mailto:seasidetigger@yahoo.co.uk> which may be easier for sharing photos.

Hello Steve I quite agree with the description, vast, where my Gant ancestors are concerned! Leah was born in 1883. She married a Charles Spall and died in Ipswich in 1962. She lived in Silent Street in Ipswich when I visited her with my parents. The visit would have been sometime in the mid 1950’s I think. Record keeping does not seem to have been as accurate in days gone by, hence the confusion concerning Thornah Gant! The children of Robert & Mary Ann Gant who survived to adulthood did indeed have large families. I never knew my Grandfather, Thomas, but his wife (she was Roselinda Finch) lived well into her nineties. She and Thomas had eight children, all of whom survived. They are as follows:- John Robert – born 1900 – died 1960 Jenny Stella – born 1902 – died 1999 Frederick Arthur – born 1904 – died 1997 Melissa Maud – born 1907 – died 1977 (my mother) Frank Thomas – born 1909 – died 1950 Hilda Mary – born 1912 – died 2000 Ruby Gertrude – born 1914 – died 2014 (having reached her 100th birthday) George Edward – born 1917 – died 1983 John (known as Jack) had a daughter Jenny had a son Melissa had me Frank had a son and daughter Ruby had two daughters and one son. My mother was the only one who moved away from Suffolk/Essex. She was in service and her employers moved to Portsmouth at the start of the Second World War. She moved with them, met my father and never returned to live in Suffolk. My parents had me late in life, being in their late forties/thirties. I attach a photo of the grave of Thomas and Roselinda in Brantham Churchyard. I do have other family photos if you would be interested. Although the last of Thomas and Roselindas’ children died in 2014 and some of their grandchildren have also died, myself and four other grandchildren still remain and the name of Gant is being carried on by Frank’s son, Richard and one of his sons, both of whom as equally interested in ancestry research. I would be interested to hear more of where you fit into the family tree. Thank you for responding to my post.

I am not related to the Gants and can't add anything specific to your request other than a question. The time frame is in the 1800's and covered by the GRO indexes. Have you checked the new GRO indexes that gives the mother's maiden name from 1837 onwards It can certainly identify specific births where there may be multiple choices. Hope that helps.
