Folks, Every week or so (or whenever the digest gets to about 20 KB), I'm forwarding to the List those posts that have been "gatewayed" from RootsWeb's SUFFOLK Board that might contain information of interest to List subscribers, and here's the current "digest" of such gatewayed posts.

John East, the father of the above children, was I think also from Kersey, I've found the following family from the 1760s, and these were the only 2 East families in this parish at the time, so I think there's a good chance they're related: George & Elizabeth East had the following children: George East bap 30 Sep 1759 George East born 06 Mar 1761, bap 28 Dec 1762 JOHN EAST bap 28 Dec 1762 Benjamin East born 12 Mar 1769, bap 29 May 1775 I've also got George & Elizabeth's marriage; her surname was Harston and they married at Kersey 17 Aug 1756 For Thomas it's more difficult without knowing a parish; I've carried out a search on the IGI of all the Thomas Syretts born 20 years either side of 1790 within Suffolk (filtered so only the IGI results are shown and not those entered by LDS members) and I've found the following: Thomas Syrett bap 20 Jun 1782 @ Bacton (son of Thomas & Margaret) Thomas Strett bap 15 Jun 1783 @ Somersham (son of Thomas & Rachel) Hope that helps Kate -------------------------------------------------- Re: parish records lookups This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

I will have to arrange to make a trip to Bury St Edmunds Records Office and view the original registers to "hopefully" find Charles and his parents and siblings, if any.

The reason I asked about occupation is that I found a Thomas French on the 1871 & 1881 census who I thought might be worth checking out, he had a son named Thomas Samuel (your Thomas's father's name) and although I can't make out his occupation on the 1871 census it's Instrument maker on the 1881 census. I think this probably refers to surgical/mechanical type instruments rather than musical ones, and this would possibly tie in with your Thomas who on the 1851 census was an apprentice whitesmith (metalworker). A bit tenuous, I know, but may be worth a look. 1871 Middlesex>Isleworth>Dist8>35 Thomas French 35 b.1838 Lambeth occupation (Fitter?)

I realise that Charles might not have been Christened in either of the churches in Stanton or even in the locality of the village, Church or chapel but I have to start by knowing what's in the parish registers for the churches there. Unfortunately the marriage entry that you mention is not for the right Charles but thank you anyway for taking the time to help me, it is appreciated.

I am related to the following Richardson families/ folks who are the children of Edmund James and Susannah Jane Richardson nee Beaumont. The relationship is through my Whymark family. Alice Richardson, who married Albert Frederick Whymark; William James Richardson, who married Lily Jane Whymark. And lastly Ben T Richardson married one of my grand Aunts. Alfred Ernest William "Titch" Richardson married another of my cousins. Debra, if your mother, is the second youngest child of Edmund James and Susannah Jane, then we are connected. I would love to catch up with you and exchange data from our respective family trees -------------------------------------------------- Re: Richardson Family From Hadleigh Area This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

I'm an Aussie, first generation on my father's side, and live in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. Yes, Una Janet is a 2nd cousin, 2 times removed to myself. Whilst your Uncle 'Titch' is a 4th cousin, 1 time removed to me, common ancestors are William Wymark, (sic) and Elizabeth Clifford, who married in 1785, in Lindsey. Double connected, I'm afraid. But then again we have been in the local area for a good many years, so things like this were bound to happen. The Tricker /Whymark link or connection goes back to my 3rd great grandmother, Sarah Wymark, (sic) baptised Lindsey, in 1793. The Family seat is Boxford, moving to Groton and then back to Hadleigh where Tricker's were having children in the late 1500's. We no doubt related, though don't know quite which set of ancestors gives us the best common link. My preference would be to talk to you via email.

I've been watching the tennis from Melbourne over the last couple of weeks - I'm a mad tennis fan! Unfortunately our man didn't win. My email address is vaughan.young@btopenworld.com (I use my husband's e-mail at home - our Ancestry account is is his name too). Be good to hear from you, am interested to see who your parents and grandparents are. The Whymark's were a really large family in the Cosford area of Suffolk - I'm sure a good number of them married cousins over the years and then all named their children the same names so that sosmetimes it's extremely difficult to work out who belonged to who!! My Mum will be very interested to hear about you and your link. My Grandmother - Lilly Whymark married a Richardson and they too were a pretty large family in the same area.

Working on the Suffolk Surnames List which will be back soon too. Frustrating around here at the moment, the road through our village to Monks Eleigh (and beyond such as Hadleigh and Ipswich) is closed, so I thought I would try another route, then found that road closed at Lindsey, now I find that Cox Hill in Boxford (Hadleigh Hamlet)is closed.
