Were your French family millers? The name appears in Melford in the early 18th century with a family of probably prosperous millers ... no Thomas or Alice of course.

There are 111 different entries for the name French in the Suffolk hearth taxes in the years, 1662,1663, 1664, 1666 1669, 1670 and 1674 for the name French. Given that you are back to 1722, the hearth tax information could give you the clues as to which villages or names to look for of the persons who might be your subjects father or grandfather. If you want a look up of these, I will send you a message off list.

Thank you for that response and Yes, I have got his POW records. Just trying to figure out when he was repatriated now. I know he was back by the time he got married in June 1919.

My Grandfather O J Phillips was in the 3rd Battalion Suffolk Regiment (Special Reserves). He was in Flanders around Ypres in 1914. I know this because he earned the 1914 Star with Clasp and Rose. So he was also under fire at some time then. My question is this: "according to the Medal Roll for the 1914 Star there is a Column which is titled Date of Disembarkation which is given as 15/9/14. Is this the date he arrived in theater. I have no other source as it seems his record was among the "Burnt Records". Fortunately, I have some information from his "Certificate of Identity applicable to Special Reservists." (Army Form D.477) Any other help would be most appreciated. Regards Paul A Golder.

I am descended from George Tye and Elizabeth who lived at Brandeston in Suffolk. I think he was a Farmer whose son, also George was a Cordwainer in Brandeston. His grandson Edward, a Plumber, moved to Kingsland Middlesex, and his daughter was my great great grandmother.

Dear Helen, Thank you for the research I don't know where the "Churton" comes from as the mother was a CHASTON from the Aldeburgh area. All three daughters were baptised/christened on the same day Martha Chaston Mortimer, Barbara Mullinger Mortimer and Ann Gillingham Mortimer the last two have middle names that just don't fit with anything else in the family, whether it was a ploy to "keep in" with a landlord, employer etc as was the custom in some families, might be an option but I don't think we will find out Regards Roger

Hi Roger, This is for Martha Churton. Birth December 4th 1830. Place of birth Mortimer Suffolk. Parents Charles and Martha Churton. Religion Independent. Piece Title. 1866 Woodbridge. Independent 1794-1837 Martha, Ann and Barbara were baptized 1st July 1837 It was a Chapel, Cutting Lane, Woodbridge, Suffolk. The Minister was William Jordon Somebody? I hope this might be of some help. If not just discard. It gave me some enjoyment while I try for one of my Suffolk bricks.

Did the others have add ons as Christian names. Gillingham and Mullinger sound like surnames. I did a quick scan using them for marriages.
