Author: rshaw20 Surnames: Malin, Maling, Mealing Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.england.sfk.general/8615/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello, Can anyone help me with information about my 3x Grandfathers family. He was William MALIN (also recorded as Molin 1861 census)b. abt 1806 in Brandon. He married Rebecca ? b. abt 1808 in Brandon. The only records I have for Him and Rebecca are the 1841, 51 and 61 census'. William and Rebecca had 5 Children that I know of William (b.1831), Marian or Mary (b.1835), Emma (b.1843), John (b.1847 - 1912) and Henry (1850 - 1894 my 2X Grandfather). John and Henry both moved to Yorkshire, John probably after his marriage to Jane Thompson (b.abt 1850) in 1868 (Vol 4b Pg 1104) both brothers are in Yorkshire from the 1871 census until thier deaths. There is a death registration for a William MEALING b. abt 1806 June quarter 1880, Thetford District 4b Pg 259 and a Rebecca MEALING b. abt 1807 Dec quarter 1880 Thetford District 4b pg 273. As I have been unable to find any record of William or Rebecca on the 1871 census I cannot be sure if these are the same people. MEALING is a variation of the Surname recorded on census records for John and Henry and thier son Williams marriage certificate (to Rebecca Garner b.abt 1832 Chatham, Kent m. 1854 Vol 4b, Pg 701). MALING is another variation on some census records. Any help would be appreciated. -------------------------------------------------- Re: Help request, Malin - Brandon, Suffolk This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Author: Robesure Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.england.sfk.general/8616.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: You have not given us any aproximate dates to work from, but assuming the events took place in the 20th c. there have been 3 deaths of a Dorothy Middleton registered in Cambridge between 1984-2005. these were in Feb.2005, Nov.2005 and Oct.1996. These had respective dates of birth 26 Oct1910, 25 Jan.1915 and 25 May 1902. The latter person had a second name of May, the others just Dorothy. There was a marriage registered in the Bury St Edmunds district, June quarter 1933 between a Dorothy Cole and a Stanley Middleton, GRO Ref. Volume 4a, Page 2374. A copy of the certificate will tell you what she gave for 'Father's name and occupation'. >From the information you have given I cannot be certain whether she was registered with the surname 'Cole' at birth. There were, however, quite a lot of Dorothy Coles registered around the birth dates that I have given above, but there was in particular a Dorothy M Cole registered in Ipswich during the September quarter 1916, volume 4a, page 1905 who had a mother's maiden name of 'Game'. Again to get full details you would need to purchase a copy of the certificate. Providing Dorothy Cole was born before 1911 you may be able to find her in the 1911 census but you would have to pay for full access. From the index I can see that there was 2 in Suffolk and 1 in Cambridgeshire, born 1900-1910. -------------------------------------------------- Re: relationship link to Game and Langston This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

I am not aware of any strong links to Suffolk, but would love to hear more. A look up in the Parish Records for Erwarton St Mary might yield more information on 'your' family? They are available to search from 1558 - 1900 on just 8 fiche from the Suffolk Record Office and if SKS is visiting any of the three branches they would be able to access them (they have been filmed and should be available to order to your local LDS centre).

I've had a look round and the local RO has them, and they don't strike me as particularly helpful - their list of rules and charges is enough to terrify anyone! ... All three branches of the Suffolk Record Office have census returns and parish records available to search at no charge at all. The staff are always extremely patient and helpful and knowledgeable. Depending on the incumbent at the time of filming for the LDS records, not every one agreed and so there are still some parishes which have not been filmed. In other cases, such as with St Mary and St James (now St Edmundsbury Cathedral) some of the register pages were larger and have been filmed, so some years and events are on film and others are on fiche. Regarding the parish of St Peter and St Paul in Clare, this has always been an active large parish and there are 32 fiche covering the years 1558 - 1900. No doubt you have had a look at all of the churches you are researching on Simon's wonderful Suffolk Churches web site at www.suffolkchurches.co.uk ?

Their website does have a pretty extensive list of rules and regulations, and never having been to this RO in person I was just going off the way they've presented themselves online. I'm sure they're doing a wonderful job (as are the other ROs across the country).

I am tracing my family in Depden and Poslingford Suffolk. I have already paid a researcher to do the ground work form, but some of the information does not connect with other information. I am from the Thomas Coleman and Mary Ann Debenham family line. I have the marriage list from the parish register for Thomas and Mary Ann it said that they were married on the 22/10/1816. I also have the Birth register of Mary Ann Debenham for the 16/11/1786. On the marriage cert. It said that Thomas was a widower. Their son Arthur Coleman came to Australia on the ship the Theresa in 1840 but his parents were listed as Thomas Coleman and Elizabeth Clarke. On his death cert. It said that his mother was Mary Ann Debenham and Father was Arthur Coleman it can get confusing. I have his birth register as Arthur son of Thomas Coleman and Mary Ann Coleman 29/02/1823 in Poslingford it said that Thomas was a farmer. I also have a copy of Thomas Colemans will dated 24! /10/1825. He died on the 08/06/1828. I also have a copy of his siblings births from the parish Register. I hope some one can shed some light on this for me. Regards Chris Maloney
