Cockbridge or Cockfield???
« on: Tuesday 26 October 04 17:33 BST (UK) »
I am tracing the Harvey line of my family tree.

I thought that they were from Essex but on the 1851 census index I have
Richard Harvey 79  born in Cocbridge Suffolk.
It seems to me that there is no such place in Suffolk but I think I've seen a Cockfield.

Any ideas about what to do next?

Thanks    Sue

Here is a complete list of Suffolk parishes.

I think that it may well be Cockfield.

Maybe a misreading of 'Woodbridge'

Hi John,

I now have a copy of the original 1851 entry ( kindly supplied by another Rootschat member ) It is impossible to read the place of birth but it definitely ends either in bridge or ridge, it's the first bit that is illegible.

I've had everyone take a look but we're still puzzled. I'm not at all convinced it could say Woodbridge and have checked the IGI but only 1 Harvey appears in Woodbridge around the right time ( not mine!)

Have also checked out the hamlet of Eastbridge but alas no luck.

So the hunt continues
Regards and thanks   Sue    Huh
