Title: Kirkhambrook parish?
Post by: suecee on Tuesday 27 December 22 10:46 GMT (UK)

I have a marriage of a Thomas Missen to Mary Bigg 13 Jan 1778 in Kirkhambrook. It is a transcription and I don’t have access to the original entry but I suspect that Kirkhambrook may be a mistranscription of Wickhambrook (where Thomas was baptised in 1757 and died in 1827) as I can’t find any reference to a parish of Kirkhambrook anywhere else. The first “r” could easily be an old hand  “c” - would I be right in thinking this?

The record of this marriage at Find My past, taken from the Suffolk Marriage Index has it as AllSaints, Wickhambrook.

Thanks, I thought it must be Wickhambrook.
