Does anyone have a copy or a reference to an online copy of:
Volume IV Horringer Registers 1558-1850
Volume V Little Saxham Registers 1559-1850?
I have found references to Macro's in these villages in the 1500's.
Also spelled Macrowe, Makerowe.
Thanks.

Hi Macrosearch,
Yes I have the Horringer PRs in book form covering Bapts. Marriages & Burials 1558 to 1850
which I downloaded from the net some timer ago.
I've also got in PDF form Little Saxham Baptisms and Marriages
Were you after anyone in particular?

Hi Alan,
I am looking for any Macro's prior to 1600.
The 1524 Subsidy Return reports:
Saxham Parva John Makerow laborer
Hornyngeserth Magna [Horringer] John Makerow laborer
I am trying to fill in a gap between William Macrowe, father of Arthur Macrowe;
Arthur born Risby in 1590.
Thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon,
I've looked in both Horringer & Little Saxham PRs and don't have much info
for you. All I can find is a marriage for Thomas MACROW to Mary DALE on 23-9-1661
in Horringer. You may already have this record.
There are no Baptisms or Burials in Horringer for any spelling variants of Macrow.
Likewise I find no entries in the Bapts or Marriages in Little Saxham for any Macrows.
I don't have the Burials for LS.

Hi Alan,
Thanks anyway. I suppose we need to focus on Risby but there isn't very much.
William had 5 children in Risby 1582 - 1594. The first son was named Adam, second William, so
I am guessing that William's father was Adam. There was an Adam who was a churchwarden in Risby in
1564 so he may be the one.
Any ideas?
Thanks and regards,
Jon
