Suffolk Completed Lookup Requests / Birth Look Up - Rendham - CABLE
« on: Thursday 31 July 08 21:43 BST (UK)  »
I am trying to find a birth record for my gt. granpa WILLIAM CABLE

According to his death cert. he was 80 when he died on 19/04/1904
altho his marriage cert gives age as 21 in 1849, which also gives birthplace as Rendham and father John Cable - Labourer

I have details of his life from 1861 to his death inc. a 2nd marriage but can't trace his birth or parents and siblings.

Any info would be much appreciated   Thanks  Yvonne

Suffolk / Suffolk Burial Index- Abbreviations
« on: Saturday 07 June 08 20:38 BST (UK)  »
Hullo folks - hope someone can explain an abbreviation in the comments column. 

One of my ancestors has 'al ARTIS' in this column after her name in the Burial Index - does anyone have an explanation for this phrase?  Thanks Yvonne

Suffolk / Birth, Marriage and Burial Records
« on: Tuesday 11 March 08 16:06 GMT (UK)  »
Please can someone help.  I am considering, if its possible, buying CD's of Suffolk Births(or Baptisms), Marriages and Burials.

The villages I am particularly interested in are Cransford, Tunstall, Eyke, Sternfield, Benhall Southwold and Reydon.

I have looked at the SFHS Publications list and find that there is no mention of Reydon for instance, does this mean that some villages have not been covered or am I reading the information wrongly?  Also what information is given  in these lists.

I live in the North and its not likely that I shall have an opportunity to visit the Record Offices in Suffolk so thought this might be be the answer when researching my ancestors.
 
  I have just applied to join the Suffolk FHS but would be very grateful for any advice that anyone with experience can offer.  Many thanks  Yvonne

England / Elizabeth & Sarah COLLETT
« on: Thursday 06 March 08 19:38 GMT (UK)  »
My apologies folks if I am posting in the wrong place, don't know the region involved

Am trying to find any information available about these two young ladies. Details I have as follows:

ELIZABETH b. 8/6/1861 Cawnpore, India
SARAH b 19/12/1862 Maradabad, India

PARENTS: JOHN COLLETT b. 1/8/1829  Ilketshall St. Andrew, Suffolk
                 MARY PENNY.  They were married in Stoke Dameral, Devon 8/4/1857

JOHN was a Private in the 54th Regiment and served in India where girls were born :)

On the 1881 Census

ELIZABETH age 20 is a Parlour Maid at Matlock Lodge Streatham
SARAH age 18 General Servant at 23 Upper Tollingworth(?) Hornsey, Middlesex

Can't find any trace of parents, or the girls after this census.  I  do know that a brother returned to Suffolk and stayed there.  (He married into my family)

If anyone knows this family would be very pleased to hear from them.  Many thanks  Yvonne

Suffolk / MEADOWS in Suffolk
« on: Sunday 25 November 07 22:59 GMT (UK)  »
Would one of you kind folk try to solve a family puzzle?

My grandfather Francis Meadows b.1844 and his wife Mary Ann Elizabeth (nee Cable) have, according to an IGI Family Group Record, amongst other children, two daughters Fanny b.c1874 in Earl Soham and Annie christened 1886 South Cove.

Fanny is on the 1881 census aged 7, but no trace of her after this.  Annie married a John Christian George Collett on Feb 8th 1893.  She is described as 'Spinster aged 21' of Wangford, which would put her birth date nearer to Fanny's.

What we feel likely is that these two are one and the same girl, but if it was possible to check that only one birth was registered or, alternatively there were two,  it would settle an ongoing mystery - can anyone help please?

Yvonne  :)

Suffolk / Alice Louise MEADOWS
« on: Wednesday 04 July 07 16:08 BST (UK)  »
I have found an infant named Alice Louisa Meadows on BMD.  She was b. June 1885 in the Blything registration district and died in  Dec 1885, same place.

I think she may have been born to Francis and Mary Ann Elizabeth Meadows.  Would it be possible for you kind and helpful folk to check this out for me?  Francis was a shepherd.  Many thanks Y

« on: Monday 26 March 07 19:33 BST (UK)  »
I'm searching for any info on the MEADOWS family in the Cransford, Tunstall, Southwold and particularly REYDON area of Suffolk.  John b.1801 and Francis 1844 are my gt.granpa and granpa and I would be grateful for any details of their families.

The relevant wives were Mary Tye and Mary Ann Elizabeth Cable, brick wall with the latter, b. c.1850 in Benacre or Benhall to James and ?  Any help would be much appreciated :)
