Yes, you can purchase them on (micro) Fiche and my advice to you is to contact the records office in Ipswich to discuss process and cost. I think it is about £2.50 per fiche, plus postage costs. All you then need is access to a fiche reader which should not be a problem eg your local family history centre or library. http://www.suffolk.gov.uk/sro should be the place to find contact details, good luck!

Hi all, just joined the list. My father started his research about 40 years ago, and I've been carrying on . My main Suffolk connection is my father's family, EASTER, mainly from Aldeburgh. The earliest I have is William EASTER and his wife Anne (BRAMWELL) who were born in Stow-cum-Quy in Cambridgeshire and moved to Aldeburgh in the early 1700s. The family moved to London round about the 1840's. I've found much interesting info recently on the parish records which have become available on Find My Past (my local library recently switched from Ancestry to FMP), as well as various online cemetery photo sites. If anyone else is researching this family, I'd be happy to exchange info. -- Dianne Reuby Easter Family Genealogy <http://easter.byethost22.com/> Easter Family Genealogy Blog <http://easterfamilygenealogy.wordpress.com>

It's been a YEARS since I posted my main family names here in the Suffolk list... Samuel Read [1775] - Mary Nichols [1780] William Read [1804 Dallinghoo] - Ann Mutimer [1808 Brundish] William Read [1840 Wingfield] - Maria Palmer [1846] William T Read [1866 Chelmondiston] - Alice Reynolds [ Ottawa County, Ohio USA]

Margaret. Re: Westhall. I know that some of the records were transribed a few years back. (I know one of the transcribers). I believe they are included in what is labeled England Births and Christenings 1538 - 1975. However....while some of the listings mention which parish, including some Westhall listings, some of the listings don't. They just say...so and so, child of so and so, the date, and Suffolk. It appears hit or miss as to whether the parish is mentioned or not, even when the listings appear near each other in the actual parish records. I found this latter to be true for the transcriptons for Eye, Suffolk, for example. The BT's for Eye are available on film and I have viewed them already. Some of the listings for Eye in England Births and Christenings 1538 - 1975 show up mentioning the parish, and some don't, even listings near each other with the same set of parents. So my question.... is there someplace I can view, or purchase, the parish records for Westhall for the first half of the 1800 period?? They appear to exist, but they don't show up in the Familysearch catalog. Many thanks. Helena Researching CLARK in Eye and Westhall.

Dear Brad and Nivard Thank you so much for taking the time and trouble to give me some pointers with regard to the above enquiry. I think I shall now see if I can link in any way to the FLAXMAN family! Best wishes Diane

Can FMP has it as 40. I'm not sure: Comparing with the same hand on the next page there are some numbers that are obviously a 4. They don't conform to the numeral in Mrs Kluzman's age, which also appears over the page. I see Nivard has, as always, given you some fine information. Beaten me to it, he has. :-) -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent"

Dipping my toes in the family tree again and revisiting the 1861 Census entry for Lockless Lane, Belton, where I find a g.g.uncle, George CLARKE, age 6, (born 1855 Burgh Castle) boarding with an Elizabeth KLUSMAN (or KLUZMAN), a widowed infant school keeper, age 70 and her nephew William BRAY, 19, born Belton. Ancestry have Elizabeth transcribed as FLUSMEN but I am sure it is not right. George was, in fact, George Parker CLARKE (with an e), though the enumerator has written “CLARK” and consequently Ancestry have him thus. George’s mother died when he was only 2 years old and, for some reason, there was insufficient room for him to stay with his older brother, my great-grandfather Edwin Bradstreet CLARKE, at his grandparents’ rather large mill property in Burgh Castle. The family were rather well-to-do at this time, and have always found it little mystifying why George wasn’t kept within the family. The writing on the census entry is difficult to decipher. Perhaps Elizabeth was 40, rather than 70, which would make more sense. Can anyone shed any light on this Elizabeth KLUZMAN...it would seem she was born in Blundeston? I’d dearly like to trace someone researching her in order to try to find out a little more about George’s circumstances. Diane J. Researching (now and again when time permits) CLARKE, Burgh Castle, Bradwell, Belton...and eventually to Bishop Auckland
