Hello all, It's been along time since I was last on the list, must be at least 9 years I think. So hello to all of the old and new listers. I was wondering if anyone would be able to help me with a look-up in the Wetheringsett cum Brockford PR's? I am looking for a baptism of: Anne Clements, dau of Henry & Anne, supposedly baptised 28 Feb 1760 (could also be listed as Anne Holmes I guess as she appears to be illegitimate) and also the marriage of: Henry Clements & Ann Holmes in 1766 at Wetheringsett? (note this year was taken from another researchers information so could be incorrect) There were supposedly 2 other children born before they married, Henry & Sarah both born 1763 in Wetheringsett, which seems kind of strange to me. I have checked the Suffolk burial index for Wetheringsett and Debenham which is where the family is listed, but there is only one burial for an Ann and that was in 1824. So it doesn't look like Henry was previously married before Ann Holmes. I have the Bosmere & Claydon Baptism and Marriages Indexes for 1754-1812 and both have been checked, just to make sure the baptism and marriage weren't there. I am hoping that this Ann Clements could be the same Ann Clemence b. c1759 that married my ancestor John Hadgraft on 25 Jun 1786 in St. Mary at Quay, Ipswich. I also have the Ipswich Baptism index for 1754-1812 and have checked this also, but there is no baptism there for any Ann Clements that would fit. If anyone can help me solve this that would be wonderful. Thank you and take care, Paula Hadgraft

(note this year > was taken from another researchers information so could be incorrect) Marriage not found, though I did notice Charles married as Charles CLEMENCE in 1762. Bury Record Office have Boyds Index for Suffolk on microfilm, so there is an avenue there for investigation on a future visit. Regards Peter
