There is an Elizabeth Spark bapt. 27-9-1778 Wangford (Nr.Southwold) St.Peter. (d/o Peter & Elizabeth)

There is a Peter Spark buried in Cretingham in 1812, age at death gives a birth year of abt 1745.

He could be the Peter who married Elizabeth List at Framsden on 05 Oct 1777. The transcript says his parish is Henham (which is near Wangford. Peter and Elizabeth had a son Peter baptised at Wangford 24 Jun 1786 (record says late List). He might be the one buried at Framsden on 10 Nov 1787, although the transcript doesn't mention age or parents.
Peter appears on the Death duty register on FindMyPast. Duty paid by James Kingston. There is a marriage at Cretingham on 19 May 1806 between Elizabeth Spark and James Kingeston (sic). James is a farmer of Raydon by Southwold.

There are later baptisms in Cretingham for children of Peter and Elizabeth late List, so it is all one family and eliminates Elizabeth Spark baptised in Wangford as she married James Kingston - mentioned in Peter's will.

I have just been looking at Mettingham records again (transcripts on FreeReg).
As well as Robert Alexander baptised on 28 Aug 1814, there is a burial of a Robert Fenn Alexander  age 9 months on 21 May 1815. Was Elizabeth Sparks a widow when she married Robert snr and her  maiden name was Fenn?

I haven't got the marriage cert yet, just his birth cert so far.
I have quite a large DNA match to a descendant of theirs, and I was concentrating on Frederick's side first, as Florence was born  in India, so that was going to be more of a problem or so I thought. But that's fallen out nicely in the last hour and I've found that Florence Penny is my relative after all and not Frederick.
The bonus is that as this DNA match and I have several shared matches at a similar level, so they're all likely to be my third cousins with the same CAs as well.
