Sarah Elizabeth KEMP

[cynn]

Hi I'm new here so hope I'm posting this in the right place.  
I'm looking for the birth date of Sarah Elizabeth Kemp in Cockfield, Suffolk, and trying to find out who her parents were.  I know she married John Vincent in St James Church, Bury St Edmunds on 24/2/1827 so guess she will probably have been born around the first ten years of the century.
Also, I know that John Vincent was born in or around 1805 in Bury St Edmunds, but need to find his parents too.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi and welcome to Rootschat

The 1851 shows Sarah as 46 so her birthdate is also around 1805

The IGI Pilot website has a christening for a Sarah Elizabeth Kemp on 1.7.1806 but it's in Cavendish - parents John & Ann

Hi Carole and many thanks for the speedy reply.  I had seen that birth at Cavendish in Familysearch, but Sarah states on both the 51 and the 61 census that she was born in Cockfield, which seems very specific.  
Clutching at straws, I even checked that Cockfield has a church in case they had to travel to one at Cavendish, but it does.
Thanks again.

Welcome to Rootschat Cynn,

If you ever need to check the parish churches (and pretty much each parish/village has a parish church, some may have a non-conformist chapel too) go to

www.suffolkchurches.co.uk

and you will find all the parish churches and a great many of the other churches throughout the county.  (Simon has covered Norfolk on his bike too).

Thanks Pat.  What a lovely site.   Now all I need are the records from St Peter's Cockfield.

I have checked the Parish Register Look Ups Exchange and unfortunately there is no one for the parish of Cockfield.  You can purchase fiche of the PRs from the SRO, and you need only buy the records that you wish to research - not the whole set.

However, I am sure a kind Rootschatter will be able to help out when they next visit a branch of the SRO at either Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds or Lowestoft

Thanks Pat.  Fingers crossed someone feels kind. Otherwise I feel a holiday in Suffolk coming on.
