Suffolk / Re: Distribution of Pegg families in Suffolk between 1650-1800
« on: Monday 13 January 14 05:24 GMT (UK)  »
I plot the entries from the Suffolk Burial Index for a name and it's variants. That gives you a very good distribution for the whole of Suffolk.

Suffolk Lookup Requests / Re: Check entry - GIRLING, Ipswich St Clement, 1806
« on: Saturday 31 August 13 13:19 BST (UK)  »
I'm not aware of any Suffolk parish register images on Familysearch apart from Lothingland Deanery (part of the Norfolk collection).
Just double-checked and I can't see any.

Suffolk Lookup Requests / Check entry - GIRLING, Ipswich St Clement, 1806
« on: Saturday 31 August 13 12:48 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
I was wondering if someone would be able to double check an entry in the registers of St Clement, Ipswich.
The Suffolk Baptism Index has a baptism for "Tammy" Girling on 20 Nov 1806 with no indication of whether the child is a son or a daughter. I can find no further reference to a Tammy Girling (or any other related name) but a Samuel Girling is married in 1831 in St Clements, shortly after Tammy's brother Charles Girling. I wondered if someone could check whether "Tammy" was a transcription error for "Sammy".

Thanks in advance

Suffolk Lookup Requests / FAIRWEATHER baptism lookup Eye 1776
« on: Saturday 10 August 13 09:15 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
In the FamilySearch indexes there is a listing for the baptism of Jane Fairweather d/o Thomas and Sarah, 1 Mar 1776 in the Sudbury ATs. She was almost certainly the daughter of Thomas Fairweather and Sarah Downing who married in Hadleigh on 30 Jul 1775. Unfortunately there are no Fairweather baptisms in Hadleigh. Jane married in Debenham in 1798 and her mother (Sarah nee Downing, wife of Thomas) was buried there in 1801, but there is no baptism for Jane in Debenham. However it seems as if Thomas was buried in Eye in 1824, and (judging by burials) there seems to have been several Fairweather families living in Eye in the 18th century.

Jane is my gggg-grandmother and has been a brick wall for over 5 years.

Would someone be kind enough to check the Eye PRs to see if Jane was baptized there? (Otherwise it's back to the drawing board.)

Thanks to anyone who reads this,

Thanks for looking (much appreciated).

It seems as if I will have to work through the entire LDS film (or wait until the SFHS comes out with the appropriate CD).

It seems as if Thomas (the father) may have been an itinerant worker.

England / Archive References for Parish Registers
« on: Saturday 08 June 13 00:39 BST (UK)  »
Hi,
As a long distance researcher I am dependent on Family History Library (FHL) films and the increasing number of digitised images online to check original entries. I like to record the County/Diocese archive reference number of the original document from which the image was taken.

Some of these can be located via the FHL catalogue or Access to Archives. Some counties have beautifully easy to use online catalogues. Some I find extremely hard to find. Consequently I was wondering whether there was a published listing available?

I know SoG are publishing a county by county "National Index of Parish Registers". Does any one know if they include this level of detail?

That's a shame. It does make it harder for the moderators.
I don't think the developers always think of things like that.

Hi,
To make Rick's job easier I like follow instructions and edit my subject when a lookup is completed. However the recent makeover of the site has removed the "modify" button from the original post. Is there a sneaky way we can get around this?

Suffolk Lookup Requests / FAIRWEATHER baptism lookup Hadleigh 1776

She was almost certainly the daughter of Thomas Fairweather and Sarah Downing who married in Hadleigh on 30 Jul 1775. Both Thomas and Sarah stated that they were "OTP" so there is a strong possibility that Jane was baptized in Hadleigh.

Jane is my gggg-grandmother and has been a brick wall for over 5 years.

Would someone be kind enough to check the Hadleigh PRs to see if Jane was indeed baptized there. (Otherwise it's back to the drawing board.)
