Hi all, I have been trying to track down my 7th great grandfather for about 20 years now with no luck, so I am wondering if anyone can help or offer any suggestions to help me find him. I am looking for: ROBERT EVERSON b. abt 1700-1705. Could also be spelt as Eversden, Everston, Evison etc. He married SARAH GOUDE/GOODE in Bramford on 11 Oct 1726, stating he was from Barham, however there is no baptism for him there. He has one daughter who is buried in Elmsett in 1727 (Source: SBI) and then I have a gap until 1733, where he then baptises 5 children in Somersham. The baptisms for the 2 children that I can't find during this time are: ROBERT EVERSON b. abt 1728 (he married Ann Tricker at Stowmarket in 1749) SARAH EVERSON b. abt 1731 (shemarried Jeremiah Garwood at Aldham in 1757) Robert was buried in Elmsett on 20 Apr 1748. His 1st wife Sarah was buried in Somersham in 1742. His 2nd wife Mary Barber was buried in Elmsett in 1754, Source: Suffolk Burial Index I've so far checked the following parishes for a baptism for Robert Everson and his 2 children: Aldham, Barham, Barking, Battisford, Belstead, Bentley, Bramford, Brantham, Burstall, Capel St. Mary, Chattisham, Chelmondiston, Claydon, Combs, Copdock, Creeting St. Mary, Earl Stonham, East Bergholt, Elmsett, Erwarton, Great Blakenham, Great Wenham, Harkstead, Hintlesham, Holbrook, Ipswich St. Clement, Ipswich St. Margaret, Ipswich St. Matthew, Ipswich St. Peter. Ipswich St. Stephen, Kersey, Little Blakenham, Little Wenham, Needham Market, Offton, Shotley, Somersham, Sproughton, Stutton, Whatfield, Wherstead, Washbrook and came up with nothing. If anyone on the list has any PR's from around this area that isn't on the list of searched parishes would you please help by checking them for me, even if it is to just cross more places off of my list. Thank you and hugs, Paula

Hi all, Thanks to Bob Stephenson, I now have the baptisms of Robert Everson's missing children, who were baptised at Creeting St. Mary as follows: 07 Apr 1728 Robert Everston, son of Robert 26 Apr 1730 Sarah Everston, son of Robert 25 Jun 1732 Mary Everston, dau pf Robert Bob, suggested checking Elmsett for Robert snr's baptism, however I do have a transcript of baptisms between 1700-1900 and there are no baptisms at all in Elmsett for any Everson's during this time, only the three burials of him, his daughter Elizabeth in 1727 and his 2nd wife Mary Barber in 1754. Do you guys think it is worth me trying to check earlier than 1700 in Elmsett for a baptism for Robert Everson, bearing in mind that he first married in 1726? I did notice while looking through the Suffolk Burial Index that there are several burials at Hitcham around 1700-1705 and burial at Bildeston. There are also a lot at Combs as well. I had a look back through my records and realised that the search that I had done at Combs was only for Robert's children Robert & Sarah, not for Robert himself. Does anyone have the parish registers for Combs and if so would you mind checking for a baptism for Robert Everson abt 1700? Any help that any of you can offer would be wonderful.
