I have an orphan Death certificate for William Tricker, d. 1837, Hadleigh.  I had hoped it was for my 3G-Grandfather but alas mine was a malster by trade.  I live in the States but will gladly send this document to someone who is related to William Tricker, Saddler of Hadleigh.  Best wishes, Dawn

I am trying to find a baptismal record for Elizabeth SIMMONDS/SYMMONDS or siblings c. 1796.  I believe my GGG-Grandmother was a SIMMONDS/SYMMONDS, married Jacob PARKER in 1815, and the 1851 & 1861 censuses both cite her birthplace as Sawston, Cambridgeshire.  I've found only one record that is close in year and place but can't find another SIMMONDS/SYMMONDS with a birthplace of Sawston or Whittlesford during the approximate dates of Elizabeth.  Does someone have access to these parishes and could check for SIMMONDS/SYMMONDS around 1796 please.  Thank you very much for your assistance!  I'm beginning to doubt Elizabeth was really from Cambridgeshire!

I'm trying to find information about my GGG-Grandfather William Tricker, birth unknown and died before 1839.  William is the father of Richard Tricker, baptized 1815 in Hadleigh, Suffolk. William's wife is named Sarah and his occupation in 1815 is looks like Laborer, though the page is so faded I can't make it dark enough to scan and post. Another baptism for Eliza Tricker in 1813, parents also William & Sarah but here the occupation is S??ler. Richard's 1839 marriage cert.  has Father: William Tricker (deceased) and Father's occupation as Malster?.  I found a death reg. for William Tricker or Tucker, age 68, from 1837 in Hadleigh and this has William Tricker's occupation as  S????er (maybe Saddler).  Am I reading them wrong?

I am so excited!  I began my  "family history" project a year ago searching and hoping for a connection to my grandfather's family in England.  Admittedly  I was beginning to despair of finding someone (ANYONE) who was related.  Over the weekend I visited the SIT board to check possibilities.  There she was PARKER and FRYER in the same vicinity as mine.  Fryer and Parker are common names so I figured it would be another dead end.  The next day a reply came and I could not believe it- a CONNECTION!  Turns out her husband's gg-grandfather's is my g-grandmother Lydia's brother.  Apparently we're 3 cousins, 1 removed or so it seems.  We knew nothing of Lydia's family except for recent discoveries in census', etc.   Our FRYER cousins in England knew of Lydia's marriage to Reuben Tricker but didn't have much about her family.  In my excited state I fired off what must have been a 20 page email regarding Lydia's descendants here in the US and Canada; then worried for the next 24 hours that my email might have frightened her off.  Thankfully it did not!   In only 3 days we've exchanged photos, documents, heirloom letters and more.  I am still walking on cloud nine!

Thank you very much Rootschat!
