Hi,
Sorry to be a pain ::) but I am looking for the link to the Norfolk PR's on Family Search where you can browse the original images by parish. I've used them before but not for a while and now I can't find them. I've followed the link on this thread:-
http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,439039.0.html
but it is for searching, rather than browsing images of the originals.
Thanks,
Luzzu :)

Thanks :D. Felt like I was going around in circles earlier trying to find them.

I have looked at the original PRs for Norfolk from your link and already have found an answer to a Ditchingham query that had been foxing us. Thank you so much Yorkslass. Does anyone know a similar link to Suffolk PRs please?

As yet there appears to be nothing similar for Suffolk, but Familysearch is an on-going project, so see the following link (which is updated as additions are made) for a listing of what is available. One or two borderline Suffolk registers are listed in the Norfolk set.

Thanks Bill. It looks as if Essex might be available soon which would be good for me. Do you know if it is possible to move directly to a certain page of the register rather than move through each one by turn? I have tried to do this without success and it would be helpful to know a short cut.
Thanks, Jen

Hello Jen,
You can go to individual pages by typing the number in the "image" box, and pressing "Enter".
I've linked to Ditchingham PR's as you mentioned it earlier. https://familysearch.org/pal:/MM9.3.1/TH-267-11685-120644-77?cc=1416598&wc=MMVP-38W:897104672
You'll see at the top it says Image 1 of 57, so you can type any number up to 57.
Is that what you meant?

Thanks Yorkslass. I had tried this earlier as it seemed the appropriate thing to do but without success. I have now tried again and yes it works! Maybe I was too impatient but there were problems with Familysearch over the weekend I found so maybe this was affected.
Thanks again, Jen

Hi Jen
I see you've already got your answer about going to individual pages on the Norfolk registers.
It seems that we are both researching in the same counties. My dad's side are nearly all Norfolk, over the last two centuries or more, and mum's are mainly on the North coast of Essex and the North coast of Suffolk, so I'm eagerly awaiting both those counties.
I see from one of your earlier posts that you have in interest in Needham Market. My mum's grandmother, Lizzie Wright (1860-1919), was born in St Osyth, Essex, but the Wright family had moved there from Needham Market in about 1820. I wonder if they have any connection with the Suckling family.
Good luck with your research

Hello Jen and Bill,
Essex Parish Registers are available, and you can see the original images - but it's a pay site from the Essex Record Office.
http://seax.essexcc.gov.uk/EssexAncestors.asp
I got a subscription and it was well worth it!

Hello Yorkslass. Thanks for the info about the Essex Record Office site. I will certainly investigate.
Bill, I have no 'Wrights' in my tree from Needham. The names I have are Mayhews, Sucklings and Mounts amongst others. I have now traced the Sucklings to Chelmsford and back to Finchingfield.
My Norfolk research is mainly for my in-laws, the Riches family, the Crisps, Simmonds and White family around Ditchingham, Hedenham and the Diss area, but none on the coast. They too have been in Norfolk for centuries.

Hedgerow, I wonder if, in your CRISP research, you have come across John Crisp, who married Tabitha CONE on the 9th September, 1794 in Hethel.
5 of their children were born in Bracon Ash & the 6th in Wicklewood.
I have some details about Tabitha, her parents, maternal grand & gt gparents were, but nothing on John prior to his marriage, nor any details about his death, despite much searching.
Tabitha was a labourer's widow in Bracon Ash, receiving parish relief at the time of the 1851 census. She died in 1856.
Any clues gratefully received!

If its any help there was a John Crisp age 84 buried at ST.Nicholas. Bracon Ash on the 13 May 1847

Alwina.......a very GREAT help! Thank you indeed for that! To finally have some dates to work from in the pursuit of John and his forbears is very encouraging....(now to "go & ogle" an image of St Nicholas Church....yay!)
Hearty cheers,
Ann :)
-
oops, forebears......
btw, Alwina, any Kemp/Everard marriages in your lot? (Robert Kemp to Ann Everard, 5th August 1791 in Rattlesden, Suffolk?)
Ann

Glad to help. Haven't found any Kemp/Everard yet, they didn't move much from Hevingham/Aylsham just up and down the same road really

Ann, sorry to be so late in replying - have been off the radar for a while. It looks as though you have some good answers anyway. I can find nothing for my CRISP family before Elizabeth Crisp born Norwich 1838 so would have been no help with John and Tabitha. Elizabeth went on to have three children with John White from Gressenhall and later married Abraham Frakes but I don't know who her parents were for sure although I think they were William and Elizabeth. There are no Crisps in my tree from Bracon Ash, Hethel or Wicklewood so I don't think we are connected.
