Dille Marata JEFFES

[SPARHAM]

Hi

I am yet again turning to your wonderful site as I have a few  lol

My 4 x Great Grandmother Dille was born abt 1765 in Bardwell Suffolk.  Her father was John Jeffes born in Sapiston.  Unfortunately I do not have any more information on him.  I am looking for more info on John and his wife and any siblings that Dille may have.I see with great interest in "Suffolk Stray Marriages" that a Susan Jeffes of Sapiston married a Henry Norton Palmer of Old Buckenham on 29th Sept 1836 and I wonder if Susan is a relation somewhere down the line.


I am trying to trace the Spanish background of my 4 x Great Grandmother.  Family lore has always maintained that there was a "Spanish Woman" on the tree.   There was an oil painting of her but unfortunately the relative I tried to contact about this had moved.

I would be so grateful if you could help me once again.

Dille died on 29th August 1842 at Sapiston.

Warm Regards
Sparham

There are some Jeffes on FreeREG, and also there is a legal document online for a John Jeffes, father Thomas-this is for 1831 though. Could be a relative as it is Sapiston.
regards.

You seem to have a great deal of info already available http://www.rootschat.com/links/0vcm/


there are these 2 buried Honington, which are mentioned on the above link.
Thomas JEFFES (abode Bardwell) age 85 buried 14 Jul 1818 Honington All Saints
Dillemarata JEFFES buried 8 Sep 1778 Honington All Saints

These families might also tie in somewhere as the villages are all roughly in the same area: JEFFES burials in nearby West Stow - a couple Mary & Simon c1740's, JEFFEYS in Sapiston - a couple James & Mary c1740's, JEFFEYS in Fornham All Saints - a couple Francis & Abigail c1730's, & last but not least JEFFS in Elvedon c1770s-1813 - a couple Robert & Elizabeth (late Hesbrook).

All info from the Suffolk Burial Index.

Thank you all so much for your info.   I must look at Dille Marata Jeffes buried 1778 - she is definitely a relative as my 4 x Great Grandmother was named after her.  It could be her mother.  If anyone can help me find her maiden name, I would be so grateful.

Trish, this is interesting.   I am wondering if Dille Marata Jeffes who died in 1788 was John's sister.  More to work on

An educated guess but I think that John Brett's wife, Dille Marata Jeffes is the sister  of John Jeffes, the father of my 4 x Gt Grandmother Dille Marata Jeffes.  I am scouring through other sources to see if I can find out more about John Brett.  Would be grateful for some help though 

Many thanks, Sparham
