Suffolk Parish Records - OFFORD/PHILIPS
« on: Monday 16 April 07 06:14 BST (UK) »
Hello everyone

         I know this is a big ask but I'm getting desperate ??? I'm really banging my head against a concrete wall with this one  :'(
If anyone out there has access to ANY parish records in Suffolk I am looking for the marriage of Robert OFFORD to Hannah PHILLIPS.

All I know is that they were both born c 1756 (according to burial records).
2 children were born to them 1790 & 1791 in Harwich Essex by which time both parents were 34 yrs old, no previous children in Essex.

I believe they came from another County & the name OFFORD appears to be very prominent in Suffolk.

This marriage either took place took place c 1776/80 or maybe it was a 2nd marriage and was closer to 1790
BUT no marriage is recorded in Harwich, Essex.

      PLEASSSSE HELP !!!!! my head is getting very sore!!!!

Well if Robert had a first marriage, heres a possibility from Boyds index.

Rob OFFORD
Mary PILBROW

1775  -  West Ham


or if Hannah had a first possible marriage




Tho FILIPS
Han MOOR

1777  -  West Ham





all speculation of course.

Thanks Sue

             I'll work with anything at this stage!!! Although I don't think it would have been a 2nd marriage for Hannah as she named her daughter "Harriet PHILLIPS Offord" & I can't see her using her previous husbands name as a middle name for her child with Robert.

Unless I'm looking for a marriage for Robert Offord & Hannah ?????

Phillips being her maiden name. Now there's a thought. I think the names of
 Harriet Phillips Offord's parents came from the LDS site which would give Hannah's maiden name wouldn't it.   

                              Thanks again
