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. If you wish to respond to any of these gatewayed posts, please do so by clicking on the relevant "Message Board URL:" link and NOT by responding either to the list OR to my address as the digest poster. Board posters will not see your List response unless they are also subscribed to the List, and most are not. PLEASE also be careful about responding to any post and inadvertently re-posting the ENTIRE digest to the list! More information on RootsWeb's Boards can be found in the FAQs at: http://www.RootsWeb.ancestry.com/ , where you will also find a link to the Boards' "home page". If you have any questions about the Boards or what the following is, pls contact me off-list at: mailto:[email protected] . Thanks, Peter SUFFOLK List Admin. -------------------------------------------------- Re: SmithThis is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Thanks once again for your insight and knowledge.

Arthur George Farrow (1858- 1919) Harriet Lucas Ambrose Farrow abt1828- 1908 Eliza Gooden George Farrow abt 1795-1863 Sarah Talbot Robert Farrow abt 1769 -1844 Mary Bentley Ambrose Farrow abt 1742-1778 Mary Pattle This is as far back as I was able to trace so far. Arthur George Farrow and Harriet Lucas along with some of their children emigrated to Stanstead Quebec Canada in 1906. Their daughter Ellen was my grandmother.

Author: lesannelee Surnames: Porter, Towell, Royce Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.england.sfk.general/8841/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Charles Porter repeatedly says that he was born in Saffron Walden, Suffolk. By the available data I believe he was born 1826-30. I have searched online and at the Suffolk record office and can find no birth to fit the bill, although there are Porters in SWalden at this time, mainly nonconformists. Unfortunately I have never been able to find a marriage cert for him although he had a wife, Maria Towell formarly Royce who lost her first husband in 1855 in Whitechapel, Middlesex so if they ever did marry it could have been anytime after that. Charles and Maria live and died in the Westminster area where he was a fishmonger/general dealer. -------------------------------------------------- Re: where is this address?This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.
