Do any of the museums,in Stowmaket Ipswich,have a local study room,with records of interest,like a museum near me,has local school registers,amongst other records and is it possible to view burial records,for Ipswich Stowmarket cemetery's.

The sort of records you are requesting can be accessed at the three branches of the Suffolk Record office. You mention both Stowmarket and Ipswich. Both these towns are covered by the Ipswich Branch of the SRO. Other branches are in Bury St Edmunds and in Lowestoft, with a Local Studies Centre at the public library in Sudbury. It is always best to contact the SRO before visiting to check whether they have the records that you are looking for, you would neen to let them know which school log books etc that you require to search. Parish records showing baptisms, banns, marriages and burials are available at all three branches for the whole county as are census returns. SRO at http://www.suffolk.gov.uk/LeisureAndCulture/LocalHistoryAndHeritage/SuffolkRecordOffice/ If you are intending to visit, remember to book a fiche reader in advance so that you can check the burials, you will of course need to know the parish.
