Hi All,
the surnames that i have in my family from Suffolk.
Battley, Calver/Carver, Pettit, Booth.
My GG grand father ran the Green Man Inn in Mendlesham Green.

Some of my Carvers emigrated over the border from Norfolk into Suffolk - they originated in the SE Norfolk area. Do you have any details? Will try to help.

Welcome to Rootschat NoeleenM ;D
You didn't give the name of the ancestor in Mendlesham, but I have checked White's 1844 and found that William Batley was a Beer House Keeper.

Does anyone have any CARVERS from around Worlingworth? I have a Susannah Carver, b.c. 1740, who married John TAYLOR and had their family in Worlingworth from c1776-1787. I'd love to find out more about Susannah - parents, siblings etc. Any information gratefully received.
