Thats interesting about the witnesses.  Elizabeths daughter Ann Catchpole married and had a daughter Jane Sheppard, Jane married Harry Vincent, there must be a connection somewhere!! and our surname is Smith from the Fressingfield area but I know it came from elsewhere before it came to Fressingfield so there probably won't be a connection there.

Can I be really cheeky  and ask for another lookup connected with this.

Elizabeth was born in Athelington which is not far from Fressingfield, she was born around 1762/3 time I can't seem to find her on the IGI.

Thanks,

SBW

Oh dear!

Baxter and Bridges in Fressingfield - now you're getting into my family research 
However our branch of the Bridges family moved from Fressingfield to Framlingham in 1723.

Hi SBW

Have been back to records office today and had a look at Athelington, but could not pick out a baptism of Elizabeth Catchpole.

Only references to Catchpole I could see around this time were:

Elizabeth Catchpole buried 14th May 1762 (no age given)
Daniel s/o William and Elizabeth Catchpole bap 4.11.1752
Sarah d/o william and Elizabeth Catchpole bap 23.10.1749

Sorry I couldn't be more help...

Regards
Anne

Hello all,

I'm acutely aware that it's five years since the original conversation actually happened, but oh well, hello! I'm Ryan Baxter, a descendant of the Stephen Baxter you've mentioned on this thread (if my research is correct) who married Elizabeth Catchpole in 1808 in Fressingfield.

One of their sons was Joseph, one of Joseph's sons was John (who moved from Fressingfield to Great Yarmouth - less the 'Great' prefix perhaps), one of John's sons was Cecil, one of Cecil's son was Gordon, Gordon's son was Stuart, Stuart's son is me.

If any of you know any further back than Stephen Baxter or may even be related in some way, it'd be great to hear from you.

Thanks!

Hello,
Five years on... I am also descended from Elizabeth Catchpole who married Stephen Baxter in 1808 in Fressingfield. From reading the replies she had two children before marrying Stephen, Sarah in 1800 and Ann in 1805. She then had two sons, Joseph 1808 and John in 1814. Ann married Charles Shepherd in 1826 at Fressingfield, her youngest child was Jane Shepherd who married Henry Vincent. Ann's second husband was Charles Harper.
Did you ever find a birth for Elizabeth Catchpole in 1762/3 in Athelington or anywhere?
