Suffolk / Mills Family - Acton/Long Melford/Lavenham

« on: Thursday 13 July 23 20:04 BST (UK) »

Hi,
I have an ancestor James Mills b 1782 born, according to census, in Hull, Yorks. But seemed to live all his life in Acton, Suffolk. Can't find a birth record that fits.
All the trees I've seen give his parents as John Mills (b1754) and Ann Sterne - both from Lavenham. His birth would slot in nicely with their other children, all born Lavenham, but I just can't see why he was born in Hull. Is there actually any proof that his parents were John and Ann? He doesn't feature in John's children on Ray Long's Cosford Database - is that because he wasn't born in Lavenham?
Anyone know? All help gratefully received.

Suffolk / Elizabeth Esgate b c 1766 Suffolk

« on: Sunday 02 February 14 19:31 GMT (UK) »

I'm looking for any info regarding Elizabeth Esgate. I know she married James Bass (or Barse) in Whepstead in 1794. The parish records state she was "of this parish" & the 1841 census records her as being born in Suffolk but have been unable to find any birth records. She died in 1850. Can anyone help please?
