Well, she is and... she isnt!

I know that the Newsons that I am working on came from Leiston and around but its not an uncommon name around thre and I have several candidates to be Elizabeth Newson's Dad Henry & Mum also Elizabeth. Some of them are definitely part of my tree... others.. ca'nt say!

There was also a branch of the Leiston Garrett family that moved to Derbyshire Colin,
John Fisher Garrett 1806 - 1878 was married to yet another Elizabeth (d 1853) and they had three children.
His second wife Mary (d 1872) had four children and one of their grandchildren was the actor Nigel Hawthorne (who played Sir Humphrey in Yes, Minister with Paul Eddington who lived in our village).

Having been notified today of further replies on this thread discovered that you'd asked me about the 3 children missing from the list that you had.   For some reason I had not seen this until now and I humbly apologise.

If you still need the details they are:

Elizabeth bp.21/7/1815 Felixstowe (doesn't state which church) who must have died.
Robert bp.2/7/1822 Felixstowe
James bp.17/4/1825 Felixstowe

Terry,

Many thanks for the link to the records of Tunstall Baptist Chapel. Through it I have found several dates of birth that were missing from my files in the LING, MILLER, BENHAM & KNIGHTS families.

Your help is much appreciated.

Your very welcome Kevin,

Thanks for your feedback, it's useful.
 Do your Knights connections go as far as Chillisford? I have them in my line.
Ling is a common name in this part of Suffolk (check them out on the Blaxhall Archive site and in Geo. Ewart Evens Book,"Ask the Fellows who Cut the Hay". I live in France and across the valley within eyeshot is a Ling from Blaxhall area, small world!

The KNIGHTS I have are those listed in Campsey Ash, children of James KNIGHTS & Letitia LING, so I have no knowledge of those in Chillesford. Perhaps that is where James originated?

I am very familiar with the work of the Blaxhall Archive Group and have provided some LING research for them as acknowledged on their website. I have made a particular study of the Suffolk LING families over several years.

I am delighted to see the Tunstall Baptist records available, as not only have they filled in gaps in my research, but the church is special to me as I have had the privilege of being able to conduct services there several times in the past.

Thanks again for all your hard work

Kevin
