Suffolk / Re: Little Bealings Baptism registers 1813-1924 On-Line with Ancestry
« on: Friday 15 August 25 15:35 BST (UK)  »
It may be better to report this to Suffolk Archives rather than Ancestry, something may get done about it.  I've raised issues in the past with Ancestry about missing images and they've never been fixed.

Suffolk / Re: Butley Parish Registers
« on: Thursday 14 August 25 02:53 BST (UK)  »
According to the Suffolk Archivist at the FHS AGM presentation last year, all the images etc were being triple checked to ensure accuracy.  Well something has gone amiss with Butley. :o

Suffolk / Re: Butley Parish Registers
« on: Thursday 14 August 25 02:50 BST (UK)  »
It would appear that the register that Ancestry have as Butley is actually Wissett, confirmed by a test search of an entry in the Ancestry image with the Suffolk FHS entries on FindMyPast. ::)  A page at the beginning of the register is difficult to read but does appear to say Wissett.

It would probably be worth flagging this to Suffolk Archive's attention rather than Ancestry, they hopefully will be able to get it fixed assuming the Butley register has been digitised.

The same images with what appears to be the same index are also correctly listed as Wissett.

Suffolk / Re: Suffolk parish registers to go online?
« on: Thursday 07 August 25 23:53 BST (UK)  »
I was just going to post that Cambridgeshire Archives didn't post until after 3pm on their Facebook page when their registers went live on 17 July, so may be similar time.

But Lewis21 is correct, they're visible through the Card Catalog, they weren't earlier cos I had a look :-)

Drats going to have to try and finish work earlier tomorrow ...

The Common Room / Re: Gov UK applying for copy Will.
« on: Saturday 07 June 25 03:26 BST (UK)  »
I ordered 2 Wills on 23 May and 1 on 25 May, 1 appeared last Monday 2nd, 1 on Wednesday and the last on Thursday so, as others have said, they're taking longer at the moment.  The one received on Monday was even from last year which tend to usually be quicker.

London and Middlesex / Re: Bermondsey/Deptford - EASTERBY

Hi Jayne

I've replied to your message through Ancestry.

For anyone reading this post, in relation to George Henry Morley grandson of John Easterby, it's worth reading the following Rootschat post too - https://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,303800.msg1855506.html#msg1855506.  I've just ordered a copy of the 1873 marriage mentioned on it which I suspect will confirm my other research regarding Matilda Easterby's son George and when/where he died.

the will i wanted to have an idea about was for young john johannis Chaplin d 1730

its quite short but in latin really hard to decipher any names ..if he left everything to his wife
+didnt mention his sisters at all

This is the original Will, even shorter than the Latin "Sentence" which you found - https://www.rootschat.com/links/01sen/.  There were obviously issues with the Will, hence the later Latin Sentence.

The pedigree is accessible here - https://archive.org/details/suffolkmanorialf31john/page/112/mode/2up - pages 102-120.  Just found it as I have a photocopy of the relevant pages.
