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

Hi Cornelia I don't know if you remember, but I did look up the CROSS entries in Framlingham a few years ago for you (in 2005, in fact!), so I will forward the email I sent you then straight away. With documents this old, there are bound to be omissions for all sorts of reasons; they may never have been entered, they may be illegible or badly faded, and so on. It looks to me like Margaret and Elizabeth may have been neices.... I will have another look at the fiches to see if I can spot Margery's surname elsewhere (though I believe I did try before). regards Stella On 5 Jan 2011, at 20:36, fenenga@connpoint.net wrote: > > > hi, Stella, I'm wondering if you have a marriage in Framlingham(?) > abt 1646 between Edmond Cross(e) and Sarah (possibly Hinde??? but > maybe not) , they resided in Woodbridge but their marriage isn't in > St. Mary's parish there. they became Quakers in 1655, and are off the > CofE records from then on. > > I am also interested in an Edmond Crosse and Margery Cork or Kirk of > Framlingham who may be the above Edmond's parents. > > Edmond Cross(e) > b. abt 1600 > d. after 7 Sep 1641 (old calender), Framlingham.

Happy New Year to everyone and a very big thankyou to all that help with look ups and advice. Would anyone please be able to help. I am looking to go back further. How or where would I go. William Atkinson (1761-1832) married in Drinkston Suffolk Martha Jermain/Jarman (1772-1843) in 1795. Apparently they had 2 children Ann 1797 and John Edward 1804 thanking you Vanessa New Zealand

I have not succeeded in finding a will I believe should exist. I've looked at a number of indexes but do not know if I've looked at all of them. Edmond Cross(e) b. abt 1620 d. 14 Oct 1665 Bredfield (of Woodbridge up until 1663) husband of Sarah who survived him, and father of Peter, Edmond, Elizabeth, John, Mary Daniel, Sarah, and Susannah. Daniel preceded his father in death. Sarah "Sr." d. 13 Dec 1690 and might have left a will, I do not know. their sons Peter and Edmond did leave wills and I have those. they're in the PCC index. I believe Edmond was a Grocer. I know Peter and Edmond were. all the children are underage when Edmond died. Cornelia

hi, Stella, I'm wondering if you have a marriage in Framlingham(?) abt 1646 between Edmond Cross(e) and Sarah (possibly Hinde??? but maybe not) , they resided in Woodbridge but their marriage isn't in St. Mary's parish there. they became Quakers in 1655, and are off the CofE records from then on. I am also interested in an Edmond Crosse and Margery Cork or Kirk of Framlingham who may be the above Edmond's parents. Edmond Cross(e) b. abt 1600 d. after 7 Sep 1641 (old calender), Framlingham. Suffolk, England bur. 8 Oct 1641 Framlingham ???m. 1st 9 May 1612 Framlingham Margerie Corke? Cirk? I did not note why I put those question marks there, but if you look at that date and do not find them, the earliest child in the IGI is christened in 1617, so there's a time frame for you to look in. their known children; Francis bapt. 4 May 1617 Framlingham Edmond bapt Mar 22 1620 Framlingham John bapt. Mar 25 1624 Framlingham there may be a Margaret and an Elizabeth, they're in Edmond Cross(e)'s will but I didn't find them in the IGI. Edmond remarried to an Ann at some time prior to his death as she is his wife in his will. let me know if you have any questions. best, Cornelia I believe my Edmund was born abt 1620. hopefully I can prove/disprove it-can you find a death for Edmond bapt Mar 22 1620? if you can't it won't prove he's mine, but if you can it will disprove my hypothesis and I can start over in my search for my Edmond. chances are they're related somehow, all the Edmond Cross's I've discovered are, with one exception and I believe he's related, he's just too undocumented to prove.

how early do Suffolk poorhouse records go? or were people just thrown in the gaol in the earlier years for not paying their debts? I have received some hearth tax information of the late 1600's for my ancestor and a few of his relatives, and some of them comes up certified poor. thank you, Cornelia BODY { font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px; }

To all Suffolk listers. Regarding my problem with Family Tree Maker software, I would like to thank all those on the Suffolk list who offered their help and advice. Special thanks to Colin Fenn, to whom I send my “corrupted” file and who was able to recover everything. It works, Colin! I’m back in business! As always, the Suffolk list responds with kindness and wonderful help. May your brick walls be less insurmountable than the Great FIREWALL of China.

Hi Is anyone researching the above name. Pam in Derbyshire

Hello David, and a good new year to you too. As I presume that you don't have access to a recent backup (and I'll take this as a New Year Resolution for us all to remember to make regular back-ups!) I might have an idea for you... I am running FTM 9, which allows me to load up a file created using older versions of FTM, edit it, and then save it in the right format for any version of FTM between 4 and 9, or as a GED file. If you can email me a copy of your file, I can try to salvage it using my version of FTM - assuming that the error message it gave you was a genuine one and not indicating a totally corrupt file. Also, if you can send me the backup file it creates (a file with the same name in the same folder but with a "FBK" suffix) I can work on that one if the first one is more problematic. The only problem with this approach may be the size of your family file; my email can take any size file, but I can't remember what the size limit is with Hotmail - is it 20Mb? You might need to copy it to a 'Zip' file to make it smaller (from the Windows File explorer file menu, you select "new" and then "compressed (zipped) folder" and copy the file into there). best regards, Colin Fenn London David Kindred <kindred_david@hotmail.com> writes >I have been using an older version of Family Tree Maker for many years. >I have version 6.0. >SuddenlyI am unable to open my files! I have a message which reads: >"The file you are trying to load is from a NEWER version of Family Tree >Maker and cannot be loaded."

Can I please just remind eveyone on the list that the version of the website online at the moment, hosted by Terry Aspinall in Australia, is a copy of the website as it was when Ray passed away. Very few of the links work and no additions or amendments can be made. I am receiving so many emails daily to tell me that there are broken links :-) I am consulting a web designer in the next few days to get a new, updated, working version of the website back on line very soon. This is to fulfil New Year Resolution Number One! As soon as the new version goes live, I will let you all know, you can then begin to submit new names, places within the county of Suffolk and the dates of your research. Pat ... Every time I find an ancestor - I have to find two more !

Interestingly there is only one Augustine Smith or Smyth recorded in the hearth taxes at any date between 1662 and 1674. If you want the details, have a look at this link http://archiver.rootsweb.ancestry.com/th/read/suffolk/2007-08/1186937880 and then email me off list.

Robert Goodale of Butley 1624/25 Robert Goodale yeoman of Butley wrote a will in 1624 which was granted in 1625. He left money to his sister Mary Baxter and her 3 children. I would love to find out more information on Mary and her three children. Unfortunately the parish registers for Butley do not start until 1785. I am hoping that one of the three children was the John Baxter who was recorded an Able Man in 1638 living in nearby Boyton. Any help gratefully received Anitra

If anyone access to PR's in the Saxmundham area could they do a lookup please? My 2Gt Gm Elizabeth Harris ROYALL age 83 died at Saxmundham 10th June 1874. A researcher at SRO could not find her burial at Saxmundham and suggested that she might have been taken back to her birthplace(Lessingham NFK) for burial . I have checked Lessingham PR's and also Gt Yarmouth where her husband was buried and the latest SRO Burial Index with no result. Margaret Williams (Melbourne Aust)

Hi Dennis I have ready access to the parish registers of neither Stanton All Saints nor Stanton St John but I do have access to some of the earlier Diss registers. I can confirm that Sophia D[aughter] of George TAYLOR & Eleanor his wife (late Eleanor BETTS spinster) was born on May 12, 1787 in Diss and was publically baptised there on Jun 8, 1787.
