Hi Tizme,
The entry in Ely Holy Trinity parish register reads Abraham Moll bac of Hockwold cum Wilton, Norfolk mar Susanna Cornwell 16 June 1821. Wits William Finch and Sarah Gore. Abraham was a carpenter.
Their children were Edward bap 11 Apr 1825
Susanna bap 5 Mar 1827
Abraham bap 30 Dec 1828.

There was also a marriage between Luke Cornwell bac and Susanna Leaveley sp on 25 Feb 1794.
Their children were
Mary Leaveley Cornwell bap 13 Nov 1794
Susanna bap 14 Oct 1796
Elizabeth bap 25 July 1798
Ann bap 10 Nov 1800
Sarah bap 24 Mar 1803 bur 29 Aug 1803

Thank you both for your interest and assistance.
I have not had a chance to do much more than take a quick look tonight at the information you have provided. Hopefully I will be able to do it justice tomorrow evening.

Suffolk*Sue -
 That "hughwallis" list is very interesting and of value to many I should think. Interesting to note that the Batch No C011677, which had the previously mentioned baptisms for 1827/28, is not listed. I guess just an indication of 'works in progress'.  In fact I didnt see Ely Holy Trinity mentioned at all.

The Norfolk area is looking more likely all the time as the origins of this line of Moll's.

Tempsford-
Thanks very much for the information gleaned from the Holy Trinity records.
Was the earlier marriage between Luke Cornwell and Susanna Leaveley also from the same source?
If so, it would go along with Susanna's declaration in the 1851 census of being born in Ely. 
It would also tend to remove the Bottisham family from the equation as just another wrong turn unfortunately.

Again, I thank you both for your help and suggestions.

By the way, is Ely pronounced 'ee- lee' locally or "ee- lie" ?
I read somewhere that there was a good eel fishery years ago so my guess is the former.  ;D

Hi Tizme,
Yes the details of Luke and Susanna's marriage came from the registers of Holy Trinity, Ely.
Pleased to have been of help.

Thanks again Sue and Tempsford for your assistance.

I am still on the trail of Abraham Moll who arrived in Ely from Hockwold but in the meantime have had a rather interesting history lesson or two on the way.  The Hockwold cum Wilton website in particular has some extremely interesting information along with the early parish records at
http://www.hockwold.info/History/HockPR.htm

Thank you both for an interesting journey through Ely and into Norfolk.

I have an Elizabeth Moll in my family tree, married Jacob Wymer 1785 in Acle, Norfolk. They had four children. So probably born around 1760/65. Have you any information around that period?

cw12,

No sorry, I have not got any further with the above queries since my last post in April.
I have done some checking through Ancestry.com but nothing has stood out there.
The Moll family does seem to have concentrated in the Norfolk area back in those days and I followed a couple of leads but they petered out too.

Cheers,
Tizme.
