Birth, Marriage and Burial Records
« on: Tuesday 11 March 08 16:06 GMT (UK) »

Please can someone help.  I am considering, if its possible, buying CD's of Suffolk Births(or Baptisms), Marriages and Burials.

The villages I am particularly interested in are Cransford, Tunstall, Eyke, Sternfield, Benhall Southwold and Reydon.

I have looked at the SFHS Publications list and find that there is no mention of Reydon for instance, does this mean that some villages have not been covered or am I reading the information wrongly?  Also what information is given  in these lists.

I live in the North and its not likely that I shall have an opportunity to visit the Record Offices in Suffolk so thought this might be be the answer when researching my ancestors.

  I have just applied to join the Suffolk FHS but would be very grateful for any advice that anyone with experience can offer.  Many thanks  Yvonne

I don't know about CD's, but I know you can purchase PR's on microfiche from Suffolk Record Office if that is any help.

Thanks Jebber - it may be a last resort because I haven't got a microfiche reader.  Yvonne

Hiya

I have the Tunstall PRs on microfiche. If you need any info, post a request on the "look-ups" section of the Suffolk Board and I'll see what I can find out for you!

Hello Yvonne,

The Suffolk Look Up Exchange is at the Suffolk Surnames List web site - many of the people on there have bought the fiche from the SRO and use public library fiches on the weekend to carry out look ups.

One or two have then sourced fiche readers to use at home.

I am on the lookout for a new one as my very ancient fiche reader has now given up!

The SFHS are transcribing many PRs and are putting them on to CD as quickly as they can, so not all parishes are completed.

Thanks SM  I had thought about a fiche reader and was put on to a site - BMI Solutions who have 2nd hand ones, but unfortunately not very often.  Still if I can find a local library with one that might be a solution until I can find one of my own, if a CD isn't available.

Thanks again  Yvonne

Hi Harry - I did look on the site some time ago for Reydon and it seems to be one of the churches (St. Margarets) that isn't covered  for gravestones as well as other things - hard luck as I have numerous relations from there but I did find one in Southwold St.Edmunds.  Will certainly have another look in case it has now been included.  Many thanks. Yvonne
