    1. [SFK-UK] RANT family around Ipswich circa 1740 (and other periods)
    2. David Cullingford
    3. Hi This is a crossover from my Norfolk research and I was wondering if there were any researchers on this list who have an interest in this family? Humphrey Rant, barrister, born 1708 in Bunwell, Norfolk, Died 1779 in Marlingford, Nfk. Married to Mary Life, daughter of Nathaniel Life, died 1781 in Marlingford. Humphrey was practicing in Ipswich, well that is what the records seem to infer? Children include: Meux William, born ? Died Ipswich 1769 Elizabeth, born 1734, Dickleburgh, Nfk, died 1739 in Ipswich Mary, born 1735, Dickleburgh, married Seymore Leeke. Susanna, born 1736, Dickleburgh William, born 1738, Dickleburgh. There may be more, just that I have not found them yet. I am also interested in any other Rant families from Suffolk from the 1700s and if you are aware of any, before this period? One person that eludes me at present is Roger Rant who was present around Ousden but I believe he was born in Norfolk. He was the father of Roger Rant, born circa 1600 and also went on to practice law, ending up residing at Swaffham Prior in Cambridgeshire. I have a lot of information on the family from Norfolk and some from Suffolk (Mendham, South Elmham St Margaret) If you are looking at this family, please let me know? Regards David

I have William RANT b.c.1753 who married Jane GEDNEY (chr 29 Apr 1774, Mendham) at Mendham on 13th September 1798 at Mendham. So far as I can ascertain William was buried aged 84 at Mendham on 22nd March 1837 and his wife aged 81 at Mendham on 23rd January 1856. My interest is the Gedneys, Jane's parents James Gedny (c.1723-1788) and Sarah Fisher (c.1730-1815) were my 5xGt grandparents. Regards Peter
