Great Idea David, bringing them home for Christmas I am looking for John Michael Patrick Knox, born 1914, Croydon - son of John Lawrence Knox(died Battle of Cambrai, France 1917) and wife Jennie Louise (Nee Feaver) - cannot seem to find him anywhere - perhaps he was old enough to fight in the war - not sure but he seems to have gone of my radar somewhere along the line. Also a death for Muriel Kate Knox born 1896, parents Mary Jane (nee Williams) and John Knox Merry Christmas to you all, Regards Judy Nelson, NZ

Just to add to that - on the Charsfield parish register, the baptism entry includes the fact that Mary's maiden name was CRANE.

Hello Loraine, i received an email from Charles Fuller yesterday with the marriage information as being January 1, 1761 at Aldham, Suffolk. This is from the Suffolk Marriage Index. When i received the information i did have intentions of possably ordering the film for the Aldham parish records but only if someone on the list did not have the records. It looks like i will have to order the records. Thankyou very much for checking the FH site. Could i also ask if anyone on the list know's if the SFHC in Ipswich is open this week.

Great idea!   Hoping he will come out of hiding at last - HENRY BUTCHER -  born ca 1750 (married 1774 Ilketshall St Margarets) - has been evading capture for over 25 years!!   Hope you all have a great Christmas and make it to wherever you want to be:-)   Rosie Frost ------------------------------  

Hi Judy Official adoption started in 1927 and they may have gone through the process but more likely they simply changed his name and for the rest of his life he was THOMPSON He may never have actually known he was born a KNOX (although he probably did) The only thing that may cause a problem later on was inheritance, although if it were written into a will it would be entirely legal , the problem might have occurred if Herbert died intestate There is a possible marriage for John as follows Name: John M P Thompson Spouse Surname: Dixon Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1939 Registration district: Lewisham Registration county (inferred): Kent Volume Number: 1d Page Number: 2409 Name: Molly W H N Dixon Spouse Surname: Thompson Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1939 Registration district: Lewisham Registration county (inferred): Kent Volume Number: 1d Page Number: 2409 Personally after proving that the John I posted who died in 1985 was your man I would be seeking a will for him, if Molly survived him she may well be mentioned and of course any children they may have had The death cert of 1985 should also have his place of birth as well as his date of birth , his birth cert would hopefully confirm they are one and the same On Muriel Baptism St Peter Streatham Lambeth 1896 Dec 14 1896 Muriel Kate dau of John & Mary KNOX 23 Leigham Vale Bank Clerk Minister Edward JER???

Charles, Thank you but I need to find the Marriage Reg. in order to 'confirm' who the parents of 'my' James Cooper are. But I will try to follow the James b 1810 line with James and Elizabeth as parents to keep on hand. Have a good Christmas and Healthy New Year.

This church opened in 1793 (I think), and it was extremely popular. Note that the "proper" registers are held at Ipswich Record Office, cover the period 1795-1837 with some later entries, and have not been filmed or transcribed by anyone yet. The records on the IGI and on the "PRO" film come from a copy register which is a fraction of the size of the ones held at Ipswich. Since there was at least one burial at the church for the surname of COOPER, this seems to be of interest. Unfortunately for you, I wasn't searching for the surname of Cooper when I went through the registers (I found 61 entries for 9 surnames, some of which are very rare). Have you traced this person, to see whether he is relevant? - Barking St. Mary baptism 21st. October 1810 James COOPER son of James and Elizabeth. Regards, Charles Fuller.

Thank you for trying John - I strongly suspect the Benhall Rous family are connected to those at Westleton, a big hint came with a double marriage at Benhall in 1809 between two Thomas Rouses, one of whom I 'know' already from Westleton, both brides also bore the name Rous, so possibly the brides could be connected to Thomas and Ann Gooch - the big problem is trying to find out just how they are connected.........

OK, come home John Dolby Diaper b. Stowupland c.1824, d. Stowupland 1889. His father, he said, was John Page and he may have had a brother Jacob. Who was John Page? Who was Dolby? We presume his mother was a Diaper but the 1841 census was just too late to tell, and no sign in the parish records.

A terrific idea - and would love to hear from anyone who gets a result. My brickwall is the marriage of Thomas Rous(e) and Hannah about 1750. They had children baptised in Theberton and Westleton and Thomas came from an established Westleton family, at least it looks that way. I know nothing of Hannah (named Anna at the baptism of one of their children and in the will of her husband Thomas) so obviously cannot research her family. Should anyone know where Thomas married Hannah, or be researching the same family I'd love to hear from them Season's Greetings Sue .

Again, and after thought. Is there anyone who has the parish records for Aldham and Holton who would do a lookup. Bob

I must say, Robert and Sarah STEPHENSON will be having Christmas with their children this year. I received an email from Charles FULLER with the marriage information i was looking for April 1, 1761. My sincere thankyou's to Charles for taking the time to look for the marriage. Merry Christmas Charles and to everyone on the list may you all have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Bob Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

As an afterthought. I have the parish records on fiche for Burstall, Creeting St. Mary, Debenham, Little and Great Blakenham, Offton and Somersham. I will do lookup's for Christmas if anyone needs help. Bob
