Hi there,
Walsham le Willows is in the Bury St Edmonds District since 1837, previously in Stow district.
I have a CD of the Walsham le willows Parish Registers for St Mary the Virgin 1539 to 1900 and Particular Baptist Chapel Baptisms from 1811-1837. I looked through the WHOLE thing! I donīt know, but there may have been a church at Langham - thatīs where my brick wall is too - all censuses state born in Walsham (hence my buying the CD!) but my ancestor is not there either! 
Oh well!
regards
Yvonne

Hi Rick and Purple Frog et al
Simon is going through many of the old entries on the Suffolk pages of his web site. He is adding more photographs and amending and updating the text. Our village was 'off the air' for a while, but it's now back and looking very good.
Keep checking and I am sure that Langham St George will soon re-appear (best time to check is school holiday weeks when Simon has more time to work on the web site 
By the way, in the days when I was still running 'Mum's taxi service' I often travelled a few miles over the border into Essex to take our daughter to a friend in the village of Langham! So that's one in each county of East Anglia - at least 
Suffolk Mawther ...

Hi, Purple Frog,
Not quite on the main purpose and intent of your thread, but tomorrow I'm going to Honington to see what I can find about the MAJOR family who were there in the 1841 Census.
There's a rather uncertain entry of a baptism on the IGI for a Louisa MAJOR on 23rd February 1831, parents given as William and Mary. Strange that the mother of all her siblings seems to be a Lucy, and that she then disappears until her marriage in 1863 to a William Christopher LLOYDS at St Mary's Islington.
Printing out all the MAJOR's of Suffolk from the National Burial Index, they seem to be well represented, with Langham and Honington cropping out quite often. I'm hoping to find the 1841 and 1844 burials of her father William and the woman called Lucy, though I have no idea what state the churchyard there will be in.
Anyone with MAJOR interests in Honington who wants me to look at or take a photo of anything...?
I read that the "peasant poet" Robert Bloomfield, was born in 1766 there - he's famous for the long epic poem: "The Farmer's Boy", and preceded the great John Clare...
The pub called "The Fox" looks quite cosy, too!
