Baptism - Anthony AGNESS bc 1817

[Suffolk Mawther]

As far as I know, Catholic records remain with the churches.  I have Catholic ancestors and have been advised to contact the churches involved, enclosing a donation for help with research.

From Long Melford the original local Catholic Church was Coldham Cottage at Lawshall - and yes, people used to walk there from Sudbury for mass on Sundays.

Later the Catholic church of our Lady and St John opened in Sudbury in 1893.

There may be other Rootschatters who are able to help.  If not, send a message to Simon via his Suffolk Churches website, he is a Catholic and willno doubt be able to help further.

Hi somtree,

Can confirm there are some Long Melford non-conformist records on micro film at Bury St. Edmunds. Have used them myself for a 1780 baptism. Not sure of all the years covered on the film though.

I had to ask if they had it, as it did not appear on the indexes there.
