Suffolk Lookup Requests / Request Lookup MARCHANT/MERCHANT born Hadleigh, Suffolk c1771
« on: Saturday 28 April 18 09:53 BST (UK) »
My 3g grandfather William Merchant 1851 census record says that his place of birth was Hadleigh, Suffolk.
I cannot find any verification of this and don't know where to look. I am unable to travel to Suffolk unfortunately.
I have heard( not verified) that his mother was Dinah Marchant, Daughter of Richard Marchant and Dinah (Bloss) Marchant born 1853 in Bildeston, who later in 1771 married Abraham Daking in Semer.
My thanks in advance to anyone who can throw any light on this history.

PS It would be nice if one could do a search on Rootschat just on the forum that one is currently looking at, but with a name like Merchant I am getting search results from all over the country, all sorts of records.
