Good day fellow researchers, I have followed the very good advice given to me by a number of people on my original question and followed the paper trail. I looked for all the relevant baptsms/marriages/burials in the relevant parishes. There is certainly no evidence to disprove the connection to the baptism. I can find no evidence of events in Great Whelnetham post the baptism and the dates all fit with him moving to Monks Eleigh. I wonder if someone with an Ancestry Premium Membership could check something for me. There is a Suffolk Marriage between a Peter BOWERS and a Rebecca NUN. Could someone please give me the date and location. Many thanks in advance.

I have an ancestor who dies in Monks Eleigh in 1825 and is married in Monks Eleigh in 1786. There doesn't appear to be a baptism in Monks Eleigh at the correct tIme but there is a baptism in 1766 in Great Welnetham which other researchers have taken to be the correct one. > My question is the obvious one, what corroborative evidence could be available for this assumption? > Regards, > Neil
