Title: Suffolk parish registers
Post by: Meelystar on Friday 26 June 20 13:58 BST (UK)

Where is the best place to look? Birth is around 1807 in Stonham. I am not sure if that is Earl Stonham or Stonham Aspal or somewhere else.
To confuse things a little time ago he popped up on someone’s tree and they gave his parents and baptism date in Earl Stonham. That tree now no longer shows up so I cannot contact the owner. However I can see findmypast has an index for Earl Stonham but he doesn’t appear on it.
Any suggestions?

You could start by giving his details - name/birthyear etc  ;D

Findmypast is suggested by the FamilySearch Wiki (https://www.familysearch.org/wiki/en/Main_Page) and the Online Genealogical Index (https://ogindex.org/) but for potentially greater detail you may want to invest in the transcripts from the Suffolk FHS (https://suffolkfhs.co.uk/shop/index.php/publications/baptism-indexs.html), which has produced CDs covering various parts of the county. Earl Stonham, Stonham Aspal and Stonham Parva (Little Stonham) are among the parishes in Bosmere Deanery.
