Daines Marriage in Suffolk (Archdeaconry of Sudbury?)

[jdaines89]

HI

I am looking for a marriage for John and Susan Daines. I have found baptisms for 4 children of theirs, all born in close proximity to one another. First I found John Daines who was christened 27 Oct 1732 somewhere in the Archdeaconry of Sudbury. Then Thomas Daines who was christened 15 Aug 1733 in Gislingham. Simeon Daines was christened 8 Oct 1736 I also think in Gislingham. Lastly, I found Mary Daines who was christened 5 Sep 1744 in Bacton, Suffolk.

So the marriage would come before 1732, and I'm assuming it would be in this area..


Anyone who is able to help, I will greatly appreciate it. Thank you

I don't think a journey would have been considered close by in the early 18th century.
Sudbury some distance from Gislingham 34 miles, although Bacton in Suffolk not too far from Gislingham 4 miles.

Hi, I am referring to the Archdeaconry of Sudbury, which included the Hartismere Deanery which included towns such as Bacton, Cotton and Gislingham.
 
I have modified the post to avoid confusion.

But thank you for your reply.

Another possible child: Susannah Dain, bp.6/4/1739 Lakenheath, Suffolk, dau. John and Susan.

Transcripts of pre-1754 marriages in Hartismere Deanery will eventually be indexed and published by the Suffolk Family History Society.

Meanwhile, it could be worth downloading the will of John DAINES of Bacton (Archdeaconry of Sudbury, 1764) from Suffolk Archives. The thumbnail image is naturally indistinct but the executors appointed appear to include his wife and her brother Robert, whose surname may be on the back if there is a probate note.

Hi David, that sounds like a great idea. I am unable to download the will because it says my membership has not been verified by their staff, I made an account about a week ago. Would it be possible for you to download it and send it to me? That is, only if it is free of course

[jdaines89]

I changed my browser and it seems as if it was just a problem with Firefox. But it doesn't seem like the document is available online and I don't think I can place an order without physically going to the archives in order to verify my account

Modified to apologise for my overheated self  Of course you're looking for Susan not Sarah.  I have not found any John Daines & Susan / Susannah marriages in Suffolk.  I'll leave these however, if only for elimination purposes.

Two sources, Boyd’s marriage index & England marriages 1538 - 1973 both give the same information.  It is the only record for a John Daines with wife Sarah in your time frame.

1730 June 1st - John Danes and Sarah Daines, Hadleigh, Suffolk
1730 June 1st – John Deynes and Sarah Deynes, Holton St Mary

Unfortunately, the Suffolk Record Office imposes tight copyright restrictions, and there would be a fee of £6 to download the will, if I remember correctly.

A week's delay seems odd for online access, especially now that the Bury St Edmunds branch is no longer closed by COVID-19. I'd recommend e-mailing bury.archives@suffolk.gov.uk if the "Verifying your account" webpage is not only misleading but also inaccurate ("If you are using the website to search catalogues, order copies or download digital images you don’t need to verify your account").

There is another page on "How to download digital images" and parts of my message #393 to the Suffolk io Group may help too.

Optimism is essential for genealogists but probate was often granted solely to the main executor, so there may well be no further mention of Robert, particularly if he acted in a supervisory capacity, assisting John's widow or son.

Best of luck, anyway

David
