Hello Fellow Suffolk List members, I've been 'listening' on the list for a long time now and thought I would ask if anyone is researching the 'Emms' family in Suffolk? I believe the IGI's are not a lot of help because many parishes have not been submitted, but I'm hoping that someone out there can help me trace back further in my 'Emms' family please? My earliest information I have is as follows: James Emms (my 3x Great grand father) born 1796 in 'Barton?' Suffolk I asked the researcher in Bury St Edmands archives Library to search for James Emms but only came up with a marriage of William Emms and Mary Deeks in Timworth, which backs on to Great Barton in 1787. I did a search on the IGI's and discovered a James Eames C. 9/9/1792 in Sudbury IGI Batch No. C026529. The parents were William Eames (note name change) and Mary Deeks Eames . I thought this was too much of a coincidence and fingers crossed are the persons I'm looking for. The 1841 census ref HO 107/701/6 for the Borough of Tower Hamlets Limehouse informs that he was age 45 and had a profession of Lockeeper. It also indicates that the family moved to London between 1821 and 1826. In the 1851 census ref H.O107 1554 for Borough ofTower Hamlets St. Annes, Limehouse, it informs that he was born in Barton? Suffolk and had a profession of Dealer in Coal and Wood. Regards and good luck, John Emms email: john@emms.freeserve.co.uk
