As 2023 is almost coming to a close I hope we can continue to break down some brickwalls in 2024. But I would imagine some of us have hopefully managed to solve some brickwalls in 2023.
2023 has been a bumper year for my Suffolk direct lot, as I found a 1809 marriage that I had been searching for, for years, turns out the bride was married before and the groom's usual recorded surname was written down in the marriage register as a variant of the name, showing how you must consider such things at all times when looking for a marriage, baptism, burial, census record etc.
And I found a 5xgreat grandfather was sent to Australia from Suffolk in 1791.
And Suffolk FHS has published several more baptism CD's for deaneries in East Suffolk which has helped me a lot.
