Hi Lyn Thanks for your kind offer. The only promising baptism of the correct age was in 1734 Bury St Edmund's. I am hoping his second marriage might have happen in that area. If I can't find a marriage for the 1834 baptised Richard Gager to someone else or a burial he could well be the same person as my Richard Gager who ended up in Norfolk. If he was born in Bury St Edmund's I do believe that family goes back to Long Melford records in earlier generations.
