Title: Suffolk Green Books
Post by: Macrosearch on Wednesday 27 October 10 14:07 BST (UK)
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
