Suffolk / Re: PRIOR/PIPER families in Sudbury
« on: Tuesday 21 February 06 16:27 GMT (UK)  »
afternoon

have discovered from marriage records that John Piper was given as Sudbury All Saints.
I know he was a blacksmith so maybe a journeyman blacksmith??

I have discovered that Piper seems to be a very common name in Sudbury so not very helpful.
Any ideas how I might track him down as I seem to have now hit a wall!!

many thanks

Hi

I have just found your interest in Pipers and wondered if anyone can help me.

My Great, great, great, great grandfather was John Piper who I know lived in Beyton as a blacksmith he married Susan Cornfield 19 July 1807 in Stoke by Nayland and died 24 March 1847 in Beyton
There is no reference to them in Beyton prior to him being there and wondered if they could have come from Sudbury.
I have still to check but have found a John Piper born 1773, St Gregory Sudbury whose parents were Thomas & Susanna. I know I am clutching at straws a bit but he had a daughter named Susanna!!!!

If anyone can shed any light I would be so pleased. My Father, whose family it is, will be 90 in april so trying to trace as much for him as possible

many thanks
