Hi Robert I've got to go and catch a train, so brief reply. Where did you find William in 1851 - I can't find him on Ancestry? Anyway I haven't got a baptism for William, but I may have mistranscribed because there's a baptism of Martha Ann Medcalf, d of Wm and Abigail, 27/12/1826 in my records. Mind you Martha Ann to William is a bit extreme for a mistranscription ??? I suppose I could have missed it if there were 2 Medcalf baptisms one after another. Anyway he definitely belongs to William and Abigail because he is there aged 15 (or thereabouts) in the 1851 census. I also have a burial of a William Medcalf aged 48, 15/12/1874 William Medcalf snr I can't find a baptism for either (and I've got a photocopy of the parish register for that period) but the fact that he's son of an Abraham Medcalf is confirmed by at his second marriage in 1846, when Abraham is described as a maltster. However which Abraham is a bit of an issue: he could be son of Abraham and Eliz nee Paine or of that Abraham's parents, Abraham and Elizabeth nee Foster. He would have been eldest son of the younger couple, towards the end of the older couple's children, of whom Abraham jnr was the eldest. So apart from whether any Paine relations matter here (and I do know Elizabeth Payne's parents and probably many generations) the confusion over parents isn't the end of the world because either way he's descended from Abraham and Eliz Foster, who married in 1781. Quick summary from then backwards: Abraham Medcalf, no baptism, nothing definite re parents; there is one Medcalf family he could be son of and if that could be proved I can link that line back to a John Medcalf who died in 1705. Elizabeth Foster d of Robert Foster and Susan Allen Robert Foster born 1720, son of Robert Foster 1725 and Deborah Macroe; this Robert bap either 1674 or 1694 Robert bap 1694 is son of Francis Foster and Mary, Francis is son of Edward Foster and Sarah nee Cadiold Robert bap 1674 is son of Edward Foster and Sarah nee Cadiold (so exactly same situation as with Wm Medcalf later) Edward Foster m Sarah Cadiold is son of Edward Foster m Elizabeth Shaw, and I can go no further back on Foster line Elizabeth Shaw is daughter of John Shaw and Elizabeth nee Stebbing, who married 1593, he died 1605 and his wife 1649. Probably the extended version of all that comes to 20 pages or so of information from my database, which I could sort out and send you at a later date - I am busy with a family illness at present so probably won't be able to do it until early September. I might have some more information about some of the other female lines as well.

I am trying to locate a marriage for a George ALLEN and a Phoebe BOTWRIGHT in the early 1800's. One of their children, John ALLEN, was baptised at Yoxford 1811 but I have no further information on this family prior to his birth so am hoping somebody can help me or point me in the direction to uncover more as my knowledge of the ALLEN/BOTWRIGHT relationship is very scant indeed. I do have quite a lot of information about the said John ALLEN when he was living in Woodbridge. Many thanks Deb NZ -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter.

Hi Lyn The 1851 Census shows William MEDCALF or METCALF, aged 34, born Long Melford (though it does look like Long Milford). This would indicate a birth in 1826. Research at the Family Search (LDS) site shows: - Baptism of William MIDCALF, 28 Dec 1826, Long Melford (Parents: William and Abigail) - Marriage of William MEDCALF & Abigail HOWE, 9 Oct 1821, Long Melford - Birth of William MEDCALF, 1802, Long Melford (presumably, father of William (b1826)) (Parents: Abraham & Elizabeth) - Marriage of Abraham METCALFE/MEDCALF & Elizabeth PAINE, 28 Dec 1802, Long Melford - List of 20+ other MEDCALF events in Long Melford (1786 - 1850) I am seeking the parish registers so that I can confirm the above findings and discover siblings, etc, of the two Williams, and determine the relationships of any other MEDCALFs and/or spouses' families in the area. Any assistance that you can provide would be appreciated greatly.

If you go to the Library Catalogue at http://www.familysearch.org/eng/library/fhlcatalog/supermainframeset.asp?display=localitysearch&columns=*,0,0 and search for Mildenhall you will find all the records available including some non-conformists as well. If you would like to purchase fiche these are available through the Suffolk Record Office - see http://www.suffolk.gov.uk/LeisureAndCulture/LocalHistoryAndHeritage/SuffolkRecordOffice/Services/ParishRegisterCopyingService.htm I must admit that I got rather confused as to the actual names that you are particularly interested in (possibly not helped by what appear to be incorrect dates). If you could rephrase you query (eg looking for the birth/marriage/death of (full name) circa (year or years) ) then someone may come in with the details you are looking for. There are 3 researchers of the Rumbelow name in the Mildenhall area on the Suffolk Surnames List at http://www.terryaspinall.com/suffolk-surname-list/index.html . However you need to be aware that the List has not been updated for over two years so the email links may not be valid. Hope that this is of some help. Brian

Thanks Anne, unfortunately it gives the children of Samuel & Anne, which we know about, but not their marriage or parents, which is what I need to determine.

A lot of research has been done on my husband’s Rumbelow line, but being without my notes for a while as I was away, thought I would go back via IGI, and it has thrown me a conundrum. We have a Samuel Rumbelow b. 1854 marrying a Sarah Neale at Mildenhall 24 Sep 1776 Event(s) Birth:  1754   Mildenhall, Suffolk, England   Death:  1836     ________________________________________ Parents Father:  Robert RUMBELOW (AFN: 9909-S9) Family Mother:  Mary FULLER (AFN: 9909-TG) ________________________________________ Marriage(s) Spouse:  Sarah NEALE (AFN: 9909-HQ) Family Marriage:  24 Sep 1776 Mildenhall, Suffolk, England These are LDS member records There are also records for a Samuel Rumbelow b. 1856 at Isleham, only 5 miles away by road, less as the crow flies. SAMUEL RUMBELOW Male ________________________________________ Event(s): Christening:  10 OCT 1756  Isleham, Cambridge, England _____________________________________ Parents: Father: SAMUEL RUMBELOW Mother: MARY And a marriage for Samuel Rumbelow to Mary Macer on 9 Feb 1755 at Isleham. (which gives substance to the 1856 birth) These are from a Batch file. Hugh Wallis does not throw up much for Mildenhall, how can I confirm or deny the Mildenhall records, where would I have to go, or is there fische available for a local LDS centre of the actual parish records of Mildenhall? At the moment the research done, links Samuel b. 1854 who married Sarah Neale to Samuel & Mary Macer – but what about Robert & Mary Fuller? The Rumbelows after this date all appear to have been from the West Row area of Mildenhall. Thanks in advance. Kay

Hi Robert I've got a database of all the population of Melford from the mid 1600s to 1861 and there are plenty of Medcalfs / Midcaps / Medcaps etc. The records are all at Bury St Edmunds, but if you let me have the details I can look them up for you - I also have lots of information from other records relating to Melford, things like poor records and the like, so if I know about your Medcalfs I can give you any of that sort of information which relates them.

Hi Jeff , I caught sight of the name SEXBY and realised that I was looking at this only the other night. My great-aunt's husband was the son of Susanna SEXBY, who I suspect was the sister of William and Robert. I found Susanna, aged 12 and Robert, aged 18, on the 1851 census, living at Harleston Road, Metfield, with their parents Robert and Sarah (HO107/1796f226p2), but until tonight I had no idea of the existence of William. Susanna married Benjamin DOWNHAM, and their marriage appears under Dec qtr 1856, with the reference Hoxne 4a 1199. On FreeBMD I found that these three are the only ones of that name married in the Dec qtr of 1856. William and Robert both appear with the reference Hoxne 4a 1198, although William is indexed as SEXSBY, while Robert appears on the index page twice, as both SEXBY and SEXSBY, the latter being transcribed as Se[x_]sby - although I can't see why there is any idea of a letter between the x and the s. The full list of names with the 4a 1198 reference is Robert SEXBY Robert SEXSBY William SEXSBY John ELSEY Eliza FENN Eliza BETTS It's strange that, while there are two marriages per page, counting the two Robert entries as one person, there are three males and two females with that reference. One of the images shows very darkly on FreeBMD, but the shape of the characters suggests that 1198 is the correct transcription. Hope this helps ... though I fear not!

Last week I discovered that I am descended from the MEDCALFs of Long Melford. Having not had dealings with Suffolk before I am hoping that someone might be able to answer a couple of questions for me. Are the parish registers of Long Melford available on-line, or are they at the County Records Office? If on-line, what is the URL for the website? Of course, if anyone on the list is interested in this family I would love to hear from you. Thank you for reading this, and for your help. Kind regards Robert Amies Coventry

Many thanks to those who responded. It seems family tree programs tend to set the rules and we follow, unless we decide differently.

Good morning List, if anyone researching the EMSDEN line has Edith EMSDEN born 1886 to Charles EMSDEN and Elizabeth LEATHERS could i please ask if you would contact me off list. I have a marriage registration for Edith and James R ROBINSON 1912 in NEWMARKET. Possable children are WILLIAM A ROBINSON b: Sudbury 1912. Roland A ROBINSON b: Sudbury 1914. I also have Florence L ROBINSON b: Thetford 1921. As there is a 7 year spread between the birth of Roland and Florence it may be that the father James, may have enlisted into the service? As i do not have Ancestry could i please ask if someone who does have Ancestry if they would check the enlistment papers for James R ROBINSON. I wish i could add more information on James but, i do not have any. If he did enlist i am hoping there will be information there on his family. Thankyou Bob
