Thanks for looking amondg! Yes, all of Anne's children (there were eight) with William King, a tailor, were illegitimate. I was hoping to find witnesses to Elizabeth and Smith's marriage to see if one of them (or both) might be family members. I know the marriage is too early to request a copy from the GRO and it seemed the only way to view a marriage record in the parish registers that included witnesses from Lavenham was to go visit a Suffolk Archives branch (or Records Office). I do have the CDs from Suffolk Family History which have been
very helpful but the witnesses are not included. I just found this thread so maybe I just need to be patient until this project has been completed:
