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: Parish Records, Norton, Suffolk This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list.

Author: charlesffuller Surnames: Classification: queries Message Board URL: http://boards.rootsweb.com/localities.britisles.england.sfk.general/8850.1.1.1/mb.ashx Message Board Post: Hello, There's another way - join the Stowmarket area Rootsweb mailing list. The page http://lists.rootsweb.ancestry.com/index/intl/ENG/ENG-SFK-STOWMARKET.html gives information on how to do this. 25/07/1882 Frederick BARNARD (Single; Aged 25; Engine Driver; of Stowmarket; son of Henry Barnard, Labourer) married (by Certificate) Arabella SMART (Single; of Stowmarket; Aged 22; daughter of William Smart, Labourer) at Stowmarket Register Office. Witnessed by: John Flack, Mahala Flack. [This comes from one of the very many BARNARD marriage certificates I've bought.] I can't yet tell you who Henry's father was - there were three Samuel BARNARDs married to Sarah having children in Stowmarket in 1816 and the mother's maiden name is only recorded on baptisms for 1786-1812. The BARNARD families that originated from the Stowmarket area were prolific - I'm currently tracking about 1,700 of them between 1700 and 1901. For example, Frederick (whose birth registration is in the March 1857 quarter, Stow district, reference 4a 495) had 8 brothers and sisters. Both Frederick and Arabella are buried in grave W158 in Stowmarket Cemetery. If everything goes to plan I'll be photographing it next weekend when I'm visiting Suffolk.

Stowmarket Registry Office can't trace the marriage but I'm going into town tomorrow so will try them again. I live in Stowmarket and Barnard is my late mother-in-laws maiden name, so I do have quiet abit of info regarding the family. I have here the father of Henry (1816 - 1893) as Samuel Barnard (1791 - 1876). BARNARD families from Stowmarket area are indeed prolific, can be a headache at times. My late mother-in-law is burried in Stowmarket Cemetry as are her parents, William BARNARD and Alice Maud GARNHAM. Their grave is marked and easy to locate but don't know the grave number. Interesting that you have 8 brothers and sisters for Frederick (1857) I only have 7, hmmmm need to do more homework I think. Are you connected to my BARNARD then? If so, you are the first I've been in touch with.

Or, if you're planning to visit the Family History Fair at Needham Market on Saturday 20th. October (see http://www.suffolkfhs.org.uk/meet_us.html for details), I'll be in the Internet Cafe next door as one of the Suffolk FHS people providing help and advice. If you bring along a memory stick, I can provide copies of some of the information I hold. I'm staying at the Bull Inn in Woolpit from Friday 19th. until the morning of Thursday 25th. October. I'm a direct descendant of Jane Barnard (1769-1832), daughter of Charles (1745-1829) and Ruth of Stowmarket. Unfortunately Charles' baptism gives parents who are so far untraceable (if the mother's name is correct), so I'm not certain whether we're distantly related.

It's the Lowestoft Record Office which holds all sorts of records about that area of Suffolk. On a visit several years ago they produced a local paper with details of my grandmother's funeral. Wish I was able to go and research for you but am the other end of the country. Will see if they have an e-mail so that you can contact them. Back soon.
