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.
