    1. Re: [SFK-UK] ADAMS and RIDLEY
    2. David Gobbitt
    3. Hi Ruth Mary, daughter of Samuel and Ann ADAMS, was buried on 2 Oct. 1781 at Bury St Edmunds, St James (Suffolk FHS Burial Index). If you want to confirm the marriage data with your own eyes, the LDS FHC film number is 887392 (see https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.1.1/NJFT-XXZ, where Ann RIDLEY has become "Bidlsy"). A more reliable transcript, printed in 1916, is available from the Internet Archive (http://archive.org/details/burystedmunds00stja). On page 200 you can see that Samuel was living in Walsham le Willows when he was married by licence ("L.") and the witnesses were John RIDLEY jun., Thomas RIDLEY, Susan RIDLEY and Mary ADAMS. The Internet Archive also has a transcript of the marriage licence allegation (http://archive.org/details/allegationsforma70chur) or bond (number 227 on page 360) showing that John RIDLEY junior of Bury St Edmunds acted as a bondsman for that licence in 1777, as did a Samuel ADAMS (possibly not the same one!) in 1780, for the marriage licence of Mary ADAMS of Chevington and James REYNOLDS of St James, Bury St Edmunds (number 75 on page 378). Best of luck David Date: Fri, 19 Oct 2012 07:58:42 +1100 From: "Ruth" <[email protected]> Subject: [SFK-UK] ADAMS and RIDLEY Hi, Does anyone have access to records for Samuel ADAMS and Ann RIDLEY, eg dob, children.  I have a marriage date of 27 10 1777, in St James, Bury ST Edmunds and able to do lookup, Can anyone confirm this with a source please, Regards Ruth Australia
