26 Oct 1838 Gt Oakley John Goby 24yrs Ag Lab son of John Marshall married Sarah Barfield. Is this an illegitimate son Rebecca had before she married John? I can't find a baptism for him either. Maybe they are registered in Suffolk, which I don't have access to.

Thank you for your interest. Yes I have been using freereg & more often seax. The Gobey family is a mini project apart from my tree. ERO have the will of John Gobey of Manningtree, chirugeon 1663 with land & family in Langham. They spread through the villages you mention & Bradfield becoming Ag Labs. Not many of this name in the U.K there were others in the west country who may or may not be related. Next time I am in England I'll check out the Mistley family reconstitutions.

Armed Forces / Bacchus Winden at the Battle of Trafalgar
« on: Tuesday 23 July 13 13:19 BST (UK)  »
Baptised Bacchus Wendon 14th Feb 1762 Ardleigh,Essex. He served as an ordinary seaman on HMS Polyphemus during the battle. Ship's pay book number SB 520 where there is a note: From Royal William late Ganges. I'm looking for help with other naval records,pension etc if anyone has access. Winden/Wenden down to his accent I guess. Youngest son of a farming family he probably ran away to sea via Harwich, just a few mile away.

Suffolk / Joseph Smith town crier of Bury St Edmunds. 1811 London -1884 B. st E.

Found on census returns 1851-81, large family. Did he marry Mary Ann Wilson 26 Dec 1843? Who were their parents? I have just received a newspaper clipping-no date- showing a portrait of Joseph presented to Moyse Hall museum. Is it still there? Mr W.M Elliot of 11 Kings Road married one of his daughters. Which one? Joseph was a bill-poster, foreman fireman for Norwich Union & sidesman at St James church. Another rumour is that he ran the Nutshell. An interesting character for some of you to help me with please.

Merci. Thanks to you ladies I've traced the family back through all the variations, even transcribed as Hobit on ancestry. But this doesn't solve the more recent mysteries of the missing marriage to Miss Mills, military life, & two stray children after the war. Did they just seperate & he is the Alfred who made old bones? Perhaps Ethel Mary Mills was not truthful to her children about her past, she went on to other adventures in Dorset. A few certificates needed methinks.
