I think perhaps we should be cautious with our enthusiasm! My ancestor wrote in 1840 that incumbents in Orford had been very remiss in carrying out their registration duties and there were yawning gaps in records, and that dates did not match up. As I have suggested before, if no record was made, none will be found.  I daresay the draw of fox hunting and other more leisurely pursuits attractions in those times distracted the clerks from their duties in other parishes as well, and so, though I am avidly awaiting the publication, I am fully prepared for deep disappointment.  In other words, to me the glass has volume and vacancy in equal measure!

My Orford ancestors were in the 1600s and late 1500s, some were Mayors of Orford and one ancestor William Beversham, travelled to France and Poland and had trade links to Newcastle and Castle Bromwich in Warwickshire.

Also sometimes if there was 2 people of the same name in the same parish and you cannot find out which baptism is your ancestor and seem to have exhausted all known records, you may have to forget the whole business and may never be sure which is your ancestor, for example if there was 2 John Keeble's baptised in the same parish one in 1725 and one in 1726. And neither seemed to die as a baby.
