[purple frog]

Hi everyone.Could anyone tell me what the church is called in Langham, I am assuming there is only one as I believe it is a small village. Is anyone able to look up for me in the parish records?? I have found family on the 1851 census my gt gt grandmother Rebecca Major daughter of Isaac and Eliza Major.Rebecca is 9 and her parents 32 and 30.Isaac and Rebecca's place of birth is Langham. Any thing you could get is a bonus.

Hi there,

I have found siblings to your Rebecca (I think) in Walsham PR but not Rebecca herself unfortunately!  Here is the detail I have found:

Baptised
1846 Aug-23 MAJOR   Mary Alice   dau of Isaac (labourer) & Eliza      
1868 Apr-20 MAJOR   Albert Henry aged  13 - son of Isaac (engine driver) & Eliza   

Hope this is of some help?!

Regards
Yvonne

Hi Yvonne,
           Many thanks for looking for me. Where is Walsham PR? I assumed everything was at Bury St Edmonds
 I believe they are Rebecca's siblings and any extra details are always very helpful. I have Rebecca's birth cert but not baptismal details still. She was born  on 26th nov 1841 in Langham. Which dates did you look between for my records?
      Many thanks once again

Hi there,

Walsham le Willows is in the Bury St Edmonds District since 1837, previously in Stow district.

I have a CD of the Walsham le willows Parish Registers for St Mary the Virgin 1539 to 1900 and Particular Baptist Chapel Baptisms from 1811-1837.  I looked through the WHOLE thing!  I donīt know, but there may have been a church at Langham - thatīs where my brick wall is too - all censuses state born in Walsham (hence my buying the CD!) but my ancestor is not there either!

Oh well!

regards
Yvonne
