Steve - I agree that there do not appear to be any registers for Badingham in this new release. There are however old transcriptions for Badingham. For example ...

Lizzie - I can view the images of both the banns and the marriage of Edward Stone to Hannah Betts in Metfield in 1807. I searched for the marriage which is indicated as at Metfield in 1807, then browsed Metfield marriages until I got to 1807.

Do you have an example Lizzie? The first search that I conducted works, with images in glorious colour.

I went to bed at around 11pm as Suffolk was not available then. Very pleased to see these entries in the card catalogue this morning.

Wills are a very different category to parish registers. There are tiers of jurisdictions of where wills were proved. If the person only had property in Suffolk the will was most likely proved at Ipswich or Bury St Edmunds - the Archdeaconry of Suffolk or the Archdeaconry of Sudbury respectively.

https://www.suffolkarchives.co.uk/collections/getrecord/GB173_IC_AA1

Broadly speaking, if the person was of higher status or had property in both Suffolk and Norfolk, the will was proved at Norwich.

For the top tier for people of much higher status or had property in multiple places in the southern part of England, those wills were proved in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury (PCC) in London.

So for Suffolk people there are at least three places to look for wills. Suffolk Archives/The Hold/soon to be digitised on Ancestry. Norfolk/Norwich many of which are on FamilySearch. PCC wills on Ancestry, The National Archives and elsewhere.

Subject to corrections if there are any.

Suffolk Archives/Suffolk County Council must have foregone at least £xx000s of online royalties during that decade. How short sighted.

I'm SO excited! This thread started in 2014. Our impatience is about to be rewarded 🙂.
