Hi. I was wondering if anyone knows how I might access the parish records for Westhall.... I did find that the early ones are available for viewing through an LDS library, but the 1800 period for Westhall does not appear to be listed in their catalog. I am in the US, so I do not have access to the Record Office. Thanks. Helena Researching CLARKE in Eye and Westhall, Suffolk. Specifically: William CLARKE and Mary STANNARD and their children.

I found a Robert Clarke in Westhall in a poll book for 1832 on ancestry . I have family in Westhall also and I'm in the US -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Helena Sent: Tuesday, May 29, 2012 7:55 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [SFK-UK] CLARKE family in Westhall Hi.

Hello Helena, I was very interested to see your post on the Suffolk list. I too have an ancestor William Clarke who was christened in Westhall. My William was christened in 1749 and married Mary Clarke 12 May 1777, also in Westhall. Their son, also William, was christened 10 Feb 1783 in Westhall  and married  Martha Newby 29 May 1809 in Uggeshall. This William was my 3rd great grandfather. If you find any ties to your family, feel free to contact me off list. I believe I have seen the Stannard name in doing my research but could not find the reference to it in my quick look through my notes. Most of my work on the Clarke family was done nearly 10 years ago. Hope to hear from you....

I would like to re-post my Westhall interests. I am researching the CLARKE family in Westhall. I go back to William CLARKE and Mary STANNARD. However. William CLARKE was a widower when he married Mary STANNARD. My current theory....just a theory.... But my current theory is...... that William was married to someone in Westhall. He may have been from Westhall. Or maybe not. But he was living there. Possibly had kids by this first wife, in Westhall. Possibly named one of these kids "William". Then. Sometime between 1783 and 1789 his first wife died. William Clarke then married again....the second time to Mary Stannard of Eye, SFK in 1789. The William and Mary CLARKE family has six children baptised in Eye. Then the later children...that I have found so far....are baptised in Westhall. And my GGGgrandmother, one of their daughters, marries in Westhall in 1815, so my other theory is, the William and Mary CLARKE family settled in Westhall for good when they left Eye. Associated names.... Robert LOW who married Martha CLARKE Samuel REDGRAVE who married Charlotte CLARKE and, "my" Hannah CLARKE who married William GOODRUM, brother of Richard GOODRUM who married Lydia JESSUP.

Diane. I have come across a ton of stuff "out there" on your William Clarke and Martha Newby, and how the family ended up in Canada etc. I am thinking that probably...."my" William bc1751 is not "your" William bc1748/9 So. I am still looking.
