thank you so much!  Yes i am new, and noticed you seem to have relatives from Framlingham which is the same area that i am looking at for my relatives, as well as Markham which is also in my family tree!  :)

You're welcome! Let me know if you have any Framlingham Markhams.  My lot were there until about 1866 when they moved to London.

Will do, we havent really started that side of the family yet but the Markhams i knew were from London, and remember vaguely my mother inviting Peter and George to family gatherings.  There was another male Markham, i cant remember his name.  One of them had a daughter called Maureen who married a Wellbelove.  They had something to do with bringing up my Grandmother or Great Grandmother as both were illegitimate.
