Hi all I am hoping someone might be able to help?

Would anyone have the records for the time to have a look-up for me, or were would I find them? Thank you for your time. Regards Paul luddington

We are like detectives, following each and every clue, making deductions, looking for supporting evidence. The more details we gather and keep in mind, including history, the better we can put together what we find and can fit into the picture. I sometimes call myself "Sherlock Holmes" (and do a "happy dance" - really more a shuffle) when I have eventually found and identified people. Ruth USA

Hello everyone I'm new to this particular list, and just wondered whether anyone was also researching the UNDERWOOD, HALLS and possibly NORMAN families. I have CHRISTOPHER UNDERWOOD, bpt. 31 Jul 1774, Barrow, Suffolk, marrying ABIGAIL HALLS b.c.1771 of Denham, Suffolk, in 1792, Denham. Their daughter SARAH UNDERWOOD married ROBERT NORMAN, about whom I know absolutely nothing but presume he was also Suffolk-born. SARAH and ROBERT NORMAN settled in north London/Essex border, where they raised their family. The UNDERWOODs were mostly butchers, whereas the HALL(S) appear to have been farmers, but ABIGAIL's line were all baptised at Denham Hall - a former castle, no longer in existence, according to google. Perhaps their farms were on Denham Hall's estate. I would love to hear from anyone with names in common. Best wishes Frances Bedford

Sorry everyone, i had a seniors moment when i sent my query this morning. I believe it should have read Paula Hadgraft. If she is on the list please get in touch. Bob

May I reply to this message. My GGG Grandfathers brother...one Samuel NEWSON vanished from the UK...when it came to 1851 census. Just by chance I found a a very odd reference to someone with the same name unfortunately passing away in a mining accident in Australia.birth place and birth time matched ..odd for a poor Walton, Suffolk agricultural labourer. What was he doing in Australia? After obtaing the records from Australia...it proved to be same person I'm still on the case...10 years later...but yes...poor agricultural people from Suffolk did go and try to achieve their dreams........My distant ancester was to leave a Suffolk farm and go searching for gold. It cost him his life... We all dream. Never disregard any lead...no matter how small you think it is.

Because so many of the records that have survived have a religious background, it is possible that this has been overstated as a cause. Certainly members of my family who went across the pond, did so for economic reasons - trading. What is also interesting, is that the traffic was two ways and they did sometimes return. Sometimes land was bought in America without going there. Just like now, some emigrants probably had every intention of returning to their country of origin once they made their fortune, but that is not how things worked out. And some will also have returned as emigration was not a success. So in conclusion, there were all sorts of reasons for going - and for coming back. In terms of economics in Suffolk in the 1630s, the woollen industry was on a downer, there were recurrent outbreaks of plague, and there was civil unrest. By 1635, taxes were being increased such as ship money which was demanded annually from 1635. Religion may have come into it, as Bishop Matthew Wren of Norwich (appointed 1635) was a supporter of Archbishop Laud (appointed 1633) were high church and popish. But the date you are talking about is prior to this by a year or two, so I would suggest that this was less of an issue in Suffolk which (generalising completely) was relatively protestant in outlook and a decade later were for the parliamentary side. In the book A History of Suffolk, by David Diamond and Peter Northeast, they only mention that 650 persons left Suffolk to New England, mainly during the period 1629-1638. As many again came from Norfolk and Essex. The main driver was economics, as wages were low - or at least that is what Winthrop claimed. Religious reasons were greater by the end of the 1630s - and then there was the civil war by the 1640s. There are some shipping returns for this early period, such as the various swearing of certificates of religious conformity which was often required for such travels. I suspect that for the America's these have been fully checked out by NEHGS, so it is probably worthwhile checking their excellent records. However I have not tried researching these sources.

Good afternoon Anne, I would also like a copy of the Emigration circular, please. My Marjorams, father Robert, son William, from Bredfield, both came here to New South Wales as convicts, but I have noticed in the South Australian list, there are many Marjoram families who have migrated to that State, and it appears there may have been something similar here in New South Wales, as there are a few families with that surname in the Lithgow/Bathurst area, apart from my own ancestors. Many thanks in advance, Elizabeth Walker Lake Macquarie. NSW On 3/08/2012 2:09 PM, Ruth Dunlap wrote: > I would also like a copy, please!
