All The Suffolk Record Offices have a copy of the Memorial Inscriptions for Stowlangtoft on microfilm. These were part of a project undertaken by Charles Partridge (see http://www.stowmarket-history.co.uk/charles_partridge.htm) in the first part of the 20th century so even if your search of the graveyard is not fruitful you may find that the grave was in existence at that time. <snip> > I am hoping that the records for Stowlangtoft and Tostock are in the > Sussex Record Office and not locked in the churches or something. None > of this seems to be on any web site. <snip> I take it that you mean Suffolk and not Sussex! Almost without exception all the Parish Registers are at the Suffolk Record Office. Although there were a few that hadn't found their way there a few years ago due to reticent incumbents, most of the missing registers were rounded up and have been placed on microfiche. The Suffolk Record Office is the official repositary for the Diocese. Brian

I think you mean Suffolk Record Office and all Suffolk Records to 1900 have been fiched and available in the Record Offices. A lot of the post 1900 records have also been deposited.

After visiting Langham I need to go back another generation by visiting STOWLANGTOFT where my great grandmother JANE was born in 1849. Her parents were EMMA and HENRY PLUMMER who lived in KILN FARM ROAD. Henry was a shepherd. It would be nice to find the road they lived in but I guess this is long gone. I will visit Stowlangtoft Church if I can get the key as Jacqui kindly informed me. Suffolk Roots Magazine does not list Stowlangtoft in its list of Monumental Inscriptions so I guess I may need to visit the churchyard and try and find Henry's grave. I don't hold out much luck here. Or would Suffolk Record Office know, even though the Monumental Inscriptions have not been published for that village. EMMA, later PLUMMER, was born in TOSTOCK but moved to STOWLANGTOFT when she married Henry, and then to LANGHAM after the death of HENRY and when she was married again to GREGORY STIFF on 25th March 1869. I am hoping that the records for Stowlangtoft and Tostock are in the Sussex Record Office and not locked in the churches or something. None of this seems to be on any web site. Shirley

Hi, I am trying to help a friend trace an article in a newspaper concerning her father who at the young age of 5 years old was put on the passenger ship 'Moreton Bay' to Australia in 1932. I have found his arrival date in Australia as 26/11/1932 and I also know that the ship departed sometime in October 1932. Apparently he made headline news as he was the youngest unaccompanied child to make the month long journey (except for his brother)!! I have found an article that may be of use on the front page of the Guardian on 4/10/1932, but am unable to access the article. I was wondering if someone has access and might be able to help me please. Many thanks for your time Rebecca

Hi listers, I have a problem that I hope someone can help with. I have a Mary FULCHER who married James Roberts in Jersey in 1851. The marriage entry says she was born in Eyke, Sfk c1831, and her father was David FULCHER. I've subbed to Ancestry but looking for her birth and parentage has perplexed me, to say the least! The only Mary I could find was one born in Wickham Market in 1829, with father David and mother Anne. So, assuming she's the correct one, I searched for more issue, and found Nathaniel and Rachel, b 1823 and 1827, same parents, and another child, Lydia b 1831, but to David and Rachel. OK, assuming David had multiple marriages, I searched for his first marriege to Anne ?, none found, but found 2 David's marrying 2 Rachel HOULT/Rachel HOLT's in 1820 in Worlingtworth! Then found a David marrying an Elizth. LEE in 1832 in Eyke! So by now I've assumed that Rachel and Anne were the same person, so the hunt was on for a Rachel Anne Hoult/Holt or Anne Rachel Hoult/Holt marrying a David FULCHER, but none were found. Any suggestions, advice or help with this dilemma will be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Robyn of Oz.

Jacquie I did not expect to be able to enter Langham Church, but several years ago, having walked across the field from the road I found it was open !!. I was able to take pictures of the interior where my grandparents got married in February 1895. I sent some pictures of the windows, and I thought the altar to Simon for his website. If anyone wants copies I will be happy to send them. It is good to know that I will be able to visit Tostock Church and possibly Stowlangtoft. I only have exterior pics of these on postcards. I have to do as much preparation for the visit as possible as I will only be in the area for three or four days. Thank you very much for your help.

Brian Stupid me thinking there could be 40 houses in a row in a tiny place like this. I have looked it up on the map as Ian suggested and now have a good idea of what I will see when I reach Langham. Meanwhile I will try to find out if any old records are available as you suggested. I will be staying in the centre of Bury St E so may find some info at the record office. Next places I will need to work on before arriving in Suffolk are Stowlangtoft and Tostock. I have the certificates for the family but am trying to fill in the social side of where they lived, where they worked etc etc. Many thanks for your help.

Shirley I don't want to dissappoint you but if you look at the census again the property is unnumbered and 40 is the number in the enumerator's schedule. The only thing to guide you is that there were 8 dwellings in Hunston Road which appear to be after the Hall and before you get to Hunston and Gregory Stiff was living in the 6th dwelling. It could be that two families were living in one house although the enumerators marks do not seem to indicate this. However the properties may have been altered or demolished in the past 120 years so trying to find the exact one could be difficult unless there is a local historian who has details that have been passed down. I would guess that the properties in Hunston Road belonged to the Hall so there may be some estate records that could help. You could try to find an old map of the area for around 1891 which might show what houses were in Hunston Road and then try to work out where your ancestor lived but that would only be guesswork. Good luck Brian
