I have Mary Steadman, born in Raydon in 1695.
She married John Crispe in 1722 in Raydon.
They had their family in Great Wenham.
Can anyone throw any light in their parentage?
Many thanks for reading this.

this one on family search seems highly likely given the distance Nayland to Raydon:
Mary Stedman
bap 28/2/1696 Stoke by Nayland
d/o William & Susan Stedman

:) Diddy, I've only just get these - 'a glitch in the system', I was notified.
Many thanks yet again for your help.

It's nice to have Susan's surname. So often around this time there is no mention of the mother, and if there is, just a first name.

Diddy wisely wrote
William Stedman = Susan Keble 1688 Wissington
very close to Nayland..
I have just posted a Christmas card to a friend there and the address is Wiston by Nayland - they are adjacent parishes.
Keeble is a common name in that part of Suffolk.
Regarding the Susan born Tostock, I see a '?' is that because it is difficult to read? Tostock is such a way from the area that I wondered if it could be a transcription error for adjacent parish of Polstead - bit of a wild card though ;)

had to look back to see what i queried it for. it reads Tostock on family search but i queried it because of the distance - thought it might not be 'our' William & Susan.

Ah, so we are of the same mind Diddy, :)
thas a fair owd way for them to travel from the Suffolk/Essex border up to Tostock.

It's a difficult one, this distance business. Before I started my family tree, I always had thought that people married a close neighbour, and stayed and brought up their family close by, but I've been amazed at how far people travelled in the 'old days'. So, you never can tell . . . .
