The bit above indicates the letters m or n are omitted following the letter with the mark above.

'The Record Interpreter' compiled by Charles Trice Martin is a very useful book!

Dear Horsleydown, I've been hoping you'd come on so I could see where I'd gone wrong. Thank you, it really helps as well as helping the initial poster!
Please could you tell me what kind of gown is it in Snip 2 Line 3 and is the spelling correct?

Suffolk / Re: Palgrave Independant Chapel - GARRARD.
« on: Wednesday 29 April 20 11:17 BST (UK)  »
The Palgrave Chapel (1695-1822) was moved to a new privately funded Chapel in Diss when it was considered to be 'inconveniently situated' as the majority of the congregation were from Diss! Whilst the formation of the chapels were Presbyterian the Diss chapel was  Unitarian when it closed in 1954.
The Diss chapel is still standing in Parkfield - at the end of the car park & is now a masonic lodge
There is a small booklet produced by Norfolk Unitarians called 'Congregations and Chapel outside Norwich' which includes reference to the chapels at Diss and Palgrave. I don't know if this is still available but if you contact the Octagon Unitarian Chapel in Norwich they may know.
'My Ancestors were English Presbyterian/Unitarians' by Alan Ruston (pub. Society of Genealogists) is a good introduction to the denominations & informs of the available records for christenings and burials.

Suffolk / Re: Robert GIRLING b. Ipswich 1844.

Hello Deb, welcome to Rootschat. Good to have contact with someone who is on my Girling tree!

As I said in the first posting, my great great grandmother Hephzibah was the sister of Robert Girling.
I still have not identified the family members on the photograph and if I can find how to send a copy to you via private message, perhaps you would be able to identify your grandmother Ellen Alice & her husband William Smith.
