Good morning everyone and to David, i also think this is a wonderful idea. I have searched for the marriage (for many years, without success) of my 5x g.grandparents Robert STEPHENSON and Sarah SPARROW. I have the baptism for my 4xg.grandfather John Sparrow STEPHENSON (on my maternal side) as June 3, 1762 at Somersham, Suffolk. I have not found anymore children born to Robert and Sarah before this date, therefore i think the marriage could be from abt. 1759 to 1762? I do have the burial information for Robert as: Robert STEVENSON of the parish of Creeting St. Peter, January 27, 1797 at Mickfield age 58. And for Sarah: wife of Robert, Late Sarah SPARROW of Mickfield, February 22, 1785, age 58. Several years ago someone sent me information about someone's family tree having marriage information for a Robert STEPHENSON and Sarah SPARROW but i discounted that because it was in Wales and they had Sarah's father's name as William. I do know his name was John SPARROW and he died January 26, 1775 at Mickfield, age 68. I have searched parish records for 31 different villages in Suffolk for the marriage information without success. I have been a very good boy this year and wish Santa will help me bring home Robert and Sarah so they can have a Christmas with their children. Bob Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

Hello Loraine, i received an email from Charles Fuller yesterday with the marriage information as being January 1, 1761 at Aldham, Suffolk. This is from the Suffolk Marriage Index. When i received the information i did have intentions of possably ordering the film for the Aldham parish records but only if someone on the list did not have the records. It looks like i will have to order the records. Thankyou very much for checking the FH site. Could i also ask if anyone on the list know's if the SFHC in Ipswich is open this week.
