It's a difficult one, this distance business. Before I started my family tree, I always had thought that people married a close neighbour, and stayed and brought up their family close by, but I've been amazed at how far people travelled in the 'old days'. So, you never can tell . . . .

It's nice to have Susan's surname. So often around this time there is no mention of the mother, and if there is, just a first name.

Thanks Adam.
 I have looked at this site several times, and it always fills me with sadness - for the men and boys who died without hope, and the families left behind to grieve.
 It is a sobering thought that it took a disaster like this to legislate that there should be more than one shaft in a pit.
 I have been down a pit at The Black Country Museum in Dudley, West Midlands. But it seemed unreal with no activity, no noise, no dust, no smells, no shouting etc. It was a long way away from what the men of the Disaster era would have known.

  :) Diddy, I've only just get these -  'a glitch in the system', I was notified.
Many thanks yet again for your help.

Suffolk / Mary Steadman & John Crispe

I have Mary Steadman, born in Raydon in 1695.
She married John Crispe in 1722 in Raydon.
They had their family in Great Wenham.
Can anyone throw any light in their parentage?
Many thanks for reading this.

Many thanks for your efforts. It is so frustrating when old documents are difficult to read. :-\

These are terrific, Trini.  Especially the one of Thomas on his own. My Grandfather had a fob watch like that. Thank you.

A huge apology to you both.  I was so busy copying these details and trying to make sense of them, that I completely overlooked posting you a thank you.
