Hi, I thought I would mention some of my names incase some new people have joined the list. I am interested in KEABLE in the following locations and around the following time periods: Cratfield 1690-1800 Associated names: LAND alias SCOT, WOULNOE, WATERS, CARVER/CALVER, RUMSBY South Elmham St James 1730-1830 DANBY, CRISP, JARMY Metfield 1830-1880 Redenhall Nfk 1850-1870 RACKHAM, MEEN Earlham Nfk 1878-1965 ish Horning Nfk1910-1926 STARLING There are other associated names also If anybody could find a baptism for a John KEABLE around 1670. He married in 1696 I would be eternally grateful. I have looked at most nearby parishes and looked at all the variants I have observed: KEBLE, CABELL, CABLE, KEEBLE KABLE and others. So if you see anybody named John with a similar surname who could be old enough to marry in 1696 please let me know so I can investigate. Thanks, Marg

Hi Marg I read your posts in Suffolk List I am interested in the Keeble name As yet I donot have any direct confirmed links to the name, but this is what i have My great great grandparents James and Lucy (Lambert) Chinnery named one of their boys Henry Keeble Chinnery b 1840 in Otley Suffolk. As an adult he was always known as Cable. I surmise that Keeble was a surname on Lucy's side of the family. I think her mother was Lucy Keeble marrying a unknown Lambert. Lucy Keeble being the daughter of Thomas Keeble and Elizbeth. I have nothing confirmed but sure would like to! The parentage of James and Lucy Chinnery is one of my mountains that I am trying to climb. Don Chinnery Sun City Center FL USA

Cornelia, you haven't said which indexes you've looked at, apart from the PCC. You may be aware of this, but in most areas there are four possible places a will might be: PCC - for the best off, officially for people who had land in more than one bishop's diocese but used in general by the better off The diocese records - in this case it's the diocese of Norwich - so Norfolk Record Office have those - and there's an online catalogue - officially for people who had land in more than one archdeaconry within a diocese, but not much used in south Suffolk (or at least not in Melford, which is where I know about) The archdeaconry records - so Suffolk Record Office have those - not online. There are printed indexes to some but not all, I know what there is for west Suffolk but not the eastern area you need, but I am sure someone else on here does. The fourth place is ...not surviving because never taken for probate. I am absolutely convinced that there were plenty of people who made wills but then by the time they died everything was sorted out and no family arguments and the execs decided to save money and not bother with probate ...

Elizabeth Shead or Shed was baptised to Isaac and Mary of Bures Hamlet on 10th June 1832.   The condition of the register for this period is poor and I was unable to make out Isaac's trade.   Hope this helps   J.

For John McLinden,  Is Bures Hamlet included in with Bures St. Mary or is that far enough away to be in Essex records?  I am looking for my 2nd grgrandmother, ELIZABETH SHEAD,     b. 8 May 1832/33 in Bures Hamlet.  I would like to know who her parents were and of course any information anyone may have about her or her family. She married Samuel Beaumont and lived in One House, Stowmarket, and Bury St. Edmond had a daughter Emma that married Frederick Wilden and they had 7 sons and I think 2 girls that died very young.  Two of the sons came to Us.  One was Frank (my grandfather) and the other Albert. Thank you so much for your time and offer.     Jean in cold Michigan, US    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx   Bures Hamlet is on the other side of the River Stour in Essex and , if it has its own registers, I'm afraid I don't have them.   Occasional mention is made in the Bures St Mary registers of individuals being of Bures Hamlet but it is very hit and miss and there is no guarantee that anyone registering a baptism, marriage or burial in the St Mary registers is really from the Hamlet.   I will have a look at the relevant date and get back to you.   J.

Karen, Many thanks for the information. That fills another blank in my database. Mike ----- Original Message ----- Subject: Smith If someone has a copy of the Parish Registers for Yoxford Suffolk could they do a lookup for me please. I am interested in Charles SMITH who was born in Yoxford about 1830 and married Sarah (surname unknown). The their six children were all born in Yoxford (Between 1852 and 1870), so Charles and Sarah likely married their about 1850. I am interested in any information about Charles and Sarah (birth, marriage, parents). I have the registers on fiche and it is Friday night so work for the week is over. I presume that the Charles SMITH is the one aged 10 in the 1841 in the household of John Catchpole. There is no baptism for him - though I did notice a Sarah SMITH having a daughter in either 1828 or 1829. In his marriage 9 April 1852 Charles SMITH B 22 Yoxford labourer married Sarah LOCK 20 spinster labourer also of Yoxford. He had no father her father was Samuel LOCK labourer. He marked she signed witnesses William Whatling and Thomas Rickards. There is a baptism 7 Oct 1832 of a Sarah daughter of Samuel and Letitia LOCK Yoxford labourer. Regards, Karen Stewart

Hi Jean The River Stour runs right through the middle of Bures - indeed, it forms one side of the churchyard of St Mary. The north side is Bures St Mary, and is in Suffolk, the south side is Bures Hamlet, and is in Essex. Less than a stones' throw separates them. Onehouse is a parish which abuts Stowmarket - indeed, Stow workhouse was in Onehouse parish.

John, I'm concentrating on other areas at present, but will hope to come to Suffolk next year to intensify my researches. But I'm puzzled by your 2nd last paragraph below. In other counties most (not some) early registers are lost. I'm most familiar with Cornish records and no 16th century registers at all are preserved in that county. What is preserved for some parishes are Jacobean copies made in response to laws starting in the time of Elizabeth I, and amended in Stuart times. I'm also puzzled to know what it means for records to be too big to be photographed for fiche. I photograph a lot of documents, though I make ebooks from them rather than fiche and I have had to do with physically large documents (A0 or more) and lengthy records (up to 12000 pages).

>From General Advertiser ( 1744 ) ( London, England ), Thursday, September 19, 1751; Issue 5278. Sunday the 8th Instant came on the Election of Baliffs for the ensuing Year at Aldborough in Suffolk; the Candidates stood as follow: For Thomas FONNEREAU , Esq; 16 Mr. John BURWOOD , 17 Mr. READ , 7 Mr. WALL 6 Whereupon the two former were declared duly elected, and many of their friends absent.

Ken, when photographing parish registers for fiche, some of the records were too big and they are available on rolls of film at the Suffolk Record Office. Perhaps technology has moved on ? You could always check with the Suffolk Record Office to see if you can offer your services to them ?
