GREEN family from Sudbury/Long Melford

Hi Saira

Yes I am still out here...thanks for the message,  I have just recently moved to another country and am still un-packing,  I would like to have the certificates to refer to,  so when I track these down....will post the details.    Thanks again. 

The Wiffin name can also be spelt whiffen...and I have your James Abishai as Abishai James,  so if you are searching use both.

If I have any luck finding the info today...will post.

Cheers

Thank you for getting back so quickly Keeweegal and happy times in your new home - I hope it is somewhere warmer than Blighty is at the moment!

I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi Saira 

I have opened lots of boxes during the last week and still yet to locate the offending one,  the removalists have either mis labelled the box or I have,  but still can't find my BMD certs or parish records.    What I have on my tree would have only been put there if verified by a particular source,  so this is what I have:-
Elizabeth Whiffen born abt 1786 in Sudbury, to William and Martha
Married Abishai Green in 1808 at St Peter's, Sudbury, Suffolk.

My records indicate they had 11 children,  however,  I have yet to check 3 of them as they were born when Elizabeth was older.  As yet...I have not done any research into William and Martha Whiffen.

If ever I find the missing boxes and they have any more info,  will post.

Have a fabulous Festive Season

Hi All

           Not sure how relevant this is to your research but I have Green connections from Long Melford, Wethersfield & Sible Hedingham ( late 1700's early 1800's ) and they are all Chapel people many with biblical names. It also appears that they would travel long distances ( for those days ) to be baptised in an Independant Church. They would be adults because as I understand it they have to be old enough to choose their religion. Point being that the thinking of Chapel people was not the same as CofE folk. Might be worth checking Non-Conformist registers.
                     Hope its useful

Hi
I am trying to establish if the family of Abishai Green is my family. I have a Henrietta Sarah Green who married Col. James Lister Laurence and moved to Australia in about 1863
Does the name Laurence or Levy as he changed his name from Levy to Laurence, come up anywhere?
