Several of my Lillistone cousins and I are having a great deal of trouble with our ancestor Henry LILLYSTONE (or variations therof) born 1737 Many of us have him documented with four wives but we are struggling to verify this. Starting with Wife no 1. We would be so grateful if anyone has the parish registers for Redingfield and Stoke Ash. ( or anything close by. I apologize for my lack of knowledge about the appropriate parishes although Google maps is a great help!) What we need is a possible marriage for Henry LIlLYSTONE to a Margaret (possibly GODDARD) approx 1756 Any baptisms for Henry and Margaret between the marriage date and 1761 would be greatly appreciated. We need verification of John Lillystone 14/10/1757 and Henry 14/10/1758. We have found Henry with a second marriage in possibly Redingfield or Rickinghall Superior to another Margaret (HERN) Marriage listed as 9/7/1761 However we have not found a burial for the first Margaret in any of these parishes. We do have a burial for Margaret Lillystone 26/6/1775 at Wetheringsett . We believe this to be the second Margaret. Any help would be greatly appreciated Marj.

Hi Marj, I have a transcript of the Stoke Ash marriage register which records the following marriage - 18 January 1757, Henry GILLISTONE, Singleman of Framsden & Margaret GODDARD, Singlewoman of Stoke Ash. I also have Stoke Ash Baptisms and found - 20 May 1757, John son of Henry & Margaret LILLISTONE 14 October 1758, Henry, son of Henry & Margaret LILLISTONE Stoke Ash Burials - 3 February 1758, John LILLISTONE These are the only mentions of the LILLISTONE surname that I can see on the Stoke Ash transcripts. Hope this helps Best wishes, Kevin -----Original Message----- From: suffolk-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:suffolk-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Mac and Marj McCulley Sent: 16 January 2011 03:16 To: suffolk@rootsweb.com Subject: [SFK-UK] Lillistone Several of my Lillistone cousins and I are having a great deal of trouble with our ancestor Henry LILLYSTONE (or variations therof) born 1737 Many of us have him documented with four wives but we are struggling to verify this.
