ROPER Family of Lakenheath
« on: Tuesday 21 October 08 17:27 BST (UK) »
I seem to have hit a brick wall! ???

I am looking for the marriage of William Roper to Mary Russell probably before 1787 in Lakenheath?
I have not found anything in the Lakenheath Parish Register and William may possibly be from Redmoor/Redmere

William and Mary had the following children (as shown in the Lakenheath Parish Register)
Russell b 7.12.1787
John b 18.2.1791
Robert b 9.6.1792
James b 3.8.1793
Charles ch 16.7.1797
Elizabeth ch 15.1.1799
Henry ch11.5.1802
Sarah ch 11.4.1803

Any information about the above would be much appreciated.

Thanks G
Roper - Suffolk
Spencer - Yorkshire
Dodson - Lancs/Yorks
Tyrrell - Lancashire

I have researched this line and found that William Roper married Mary Russell (spelt Russel in the record) in Feltwell, Norfolk in May 1785
