I'm eager to find out more about our Otleys because for so long I've known nothing prior to Elizabeth Otley marrying in Foulness. And of course it would be good to find out if "cousin Babs" is really a cousin.
And another huge chunk of my family are from the Sudbury area, so I can't wait for these records to come online.
It was a stroke of luck really, I just found in the Essex will beneficiaries that Sam Otley mentioned his nephew John Lucking of Foulness, and mother Susan Sparke. And that meant Elizabeth had a brother Samuel and mother Susan. Then I found the family originated in Stanstead, Suffolk.
When the new Suffolk records go online I am sure that several brickwalls will come crashing down to the ground. I hope to find the baptism of Richard Titshall born c1764.
