Hello,
Iam new to this board and am fascinated by the wealth of info on here and hoping someone may be able to help me with my research. I am wondering whether anyone has any info about Dennys from Suffolk? mainly Wetheringsett and Debenham (back to Thomas Denny 1717) but surrounding area also. Some of the spouse names include Maria Everson, Harriet Chittock, Louisa Garrard and Fanny Heath.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Mrstar
I know it's not the precise area you are searching, but the Rattlesden parish records show the following Dennys:
1611 Agnes Denny, widow, of Combs, marries John Waller
1627 Edmund Denny of Combs marries Dorothy Moore
1633 Edmund Denny, son of Edmund Denny, baptised
1704 Audrie, daughter of George Denny, baptised
Combs/Rattlesden are not that far from Debenham, so this info might be of use to you.
Regards,
Greensleeves

Hi Mrstar ;)
Welcome to Rootschat.
Like Greensleeves...not the area...(I don't think) I have Denny's from Southwold and close areas.
Best of luck

The Denny family in Combs is well known in Suffolk.

Go to photographs, and then click on Combs
Scroll down for photographs of the family Tannery and other Denny references.

That's a very interesting website, Pat - I have added it to my favourites to peruse at leisure. Someone is looking for Pearl(e)s in Buxhall so I will have to check my tree and see if I had any lurking there!
I'm sure you will find it interesting too, mrstar.

There's a lot of DENNYs in Suffolk. I have one branch loosely related to my mother's side.
There are a few DENNY graves in Swilland churchyard (fairly recent ones), and there's also a few DENNY's in a Roll of Honour plaque for fallen heroes in Ashbocking church. I have photos of the graves and of the Roll of Honour, if you would like to send me your email address in a private message, I can send you copies.

I too have an interest in any Dennys in Suffolk. My Denny's seem to originate in Westhall, being yeoman farmers and then move to Southwold. I am a direct descendant of a Robert and Mary Denny who both died in Southwold and are buried in the churchyard there.
Other surname interests are Threadkell, Biddle, Ginger, Gadsden, Tuffield, Brookes, Kilsby

.......And I have some (or rather my wife has) in Grundisburgh and Otley!

I am researching the Buckenham family of Debenham, and have come across James Denny through my research, though he is mentioned in regard to Eye, not Debenham.
In indexes of people named in a few Buckenham wills, I've been able to establish that James Denny, of Eye, was married to Elizabeth Buckenham, and they had a son named James also.
The Transcript says the will was dated 1737. James the son was also mentioned in a will of 1759.
By sure chance I was combing the parish register transcripts for Burgate today, and came across the burial of "Elizabeth, ye wife of James Denny", Dec 6 1722.
If you wish to know anything about the Buckenhams, I have a few generations from the wills.
Cheers,

Hi, I am from Australia and trying to trace my Denny Side of the family. We have always believed we were from London and outside Cambridge. The family legend goes that Frederick Thomas stood in the corner and bitterly cried about the family being disinherited from the aristocratic side of the family etc. Something about a son of an earl having an affair with the maid. However, after 100 years have discovered no such fun, but that Fred thomas married Amelia Mary Morris "Mary" to us and his dad was Charles Thomas who married Rebecca Hill. I would like to confirm the link though and hope I am not going off on a tangent as they did 100 years ago. Who was Charles Thomas and how long have this branch of the Dennys lived in Suffolk. And if anyone could tell me why his grandchildren seemed to be unhappy and bitter (as this part of the legend is true).

Rebecca Hill born 23 Jan 1823 in Wickham Market Suffolk married a Charles Thomas Denny (born 1820 and livied in Hopton by Lowesoft, he was a miller). They married in Wuckham Market on 7 Oct 1852.
They had 3 children.
Charles H Denny born 1853 in Ipswich Suffolk
Jesse W Denny born 1855 in Wickham Market Suffolk
Fredrick I Denny born 1857 in Ipswich Suffolk and married Elizabeth Morris, they had one (?) son Fredrick J Denny born 4 Apr 1870.
I can not comment further on the Denny family as I am more concerned about the HILL side of things.
Regards
John Hill

Thank you very much for that John, I appreciate the information. All the best, Sharne Young

Hi Sharne,
There was a Charles Denny, also a Suffolk miller, recorded at Weybread (up by the Norfolk border). He was there from about 1879 until about 1883. Parish records may help confirm if he is the same as the Wickham Market Denny.
All the best,
Windy Miller

Greetings to mrstar,
I'm a newcomer and I've only just seen your message of February 20, 2009, about the Denny families of Suffolk. You mention Maria Everson, who is on my tree, so I wonder if we are both interested in the same branch of the family and their connections with Earl Stonham, Debenham and Ipswich, though none of the other names you mention rings any bells with me?
Regards from AF
