Thank you Annes. I thought that there had to be a way!

Quite right, Louisa Elizabeth was my gt grandmother. You are also correct that Ann was younger, I hadn't scrolled down the list far enough! My fault.

I am descended from Louisa, the youngest sister of the William Hollinshed Brady who wrote the document. I live on the Essex/Suffolk border and so have gone to the Ipswich Records Office and Orford and have quite a bit of extra information. I also have photos of paintings of some of the early Hollinsheds.

I registered for this site so that I could reply to your question and so don't know the form! I agree that it would be much simpler if we could exchange information off list but how does one go about that?

I am descended from John Hollinshed but am having difficulty in proving earlier connections. John's gt grandson, William Hollinshed Brady wrote "A history of Orford in the C18" in about 1815 and his original hand written copy is in the Ipswich Record Office. Fortunately there is a typewritten transcription! The second half of his document gives a lot of detail on the Hollinsheds and Bradys. However I suspect that some of it comes from family traditions because some of the dates he gives do not match with those in the Parish Records.
