Thanks for replying Sue.
In your 2007 posting about Hunts people marrying in Suffolk, you have a Thomas Langley marrying Sophia Elgood at Cransford in 1814. He is from "Old Newton" Is this the one in Suffolk near Stowmarket? Or is there one in Hunts? Or is she from Hunts? Difficulties there as the Elgoods are well established in Cransford (though there is evidence of some of them moving to Huntingdon in C19) Is this what your search picked up? Would be glad of advice as to where the "Old Newton" and Huntingdon information came from.
I have only just signed up here, but spotted your posting a few weeks ago. It made a lot of sense to have Thomas coming from Suffolk Folk on Ancestry and Genes Reunited had placed him in Warwickshire which seemed most unlikely.
Armed with this info I hastened to Old Newton ( Suffolk) in search of Langley MIs. Found lots of lichen instead, but also found a local WI lady whose team had transcribed the MIs in the 80s. There were no Langleys on her list, but this is not to say Thomas does not come from there. He was a miller and I gathered that the village did have two mills. I have yet to see the PRs which my throw more light on his family ( unless he comes from Huntingdon!)
After his marriage he and Sophia are certainly in Huntingdon as he has 3 or 4 children there. He probably died there too as there as a death record there too in 1825.
Kind regards
