Suffolk / Re: FITCH & CLAYDON in Gazeley
« on: Saturday 23 August 14 18:06 BST (UK) »
Hi Dawn,
Thanks for your reply. Given the unusual name, it seems likely we are looking at the same couple. When do your records begin in Wickhambrook and Little/Great Thurlow? And do you think it possible that this family originated in Gazely? I'm still not certain that the Joseph Hales and Elizabeth Fitch who married in Gazely are my Joseph and Elizabeth Hales who lived in Barley, Herts. The 1851 census record of the Barley couples indicates that Elizabeth was from Suffolk (the village is illegible but it looks something like "Banns"). The 1814 wedding fits well as their first son was born in 1815 in Barley.
