Suffolk / Re: Eliza Amelia Smith, died Ipswich 1940
« on: Friday 04 July 25 23:07 BST (UK)  »
I'm glad to know you've now got the right certificate.

After visiting my grandparents' grave (UE 86) in the New Cemetery at Ipswich this afternoon, a short walk brought me to section XH where I took the attached photos of the Smiths' memorial in the 5th row from the curved path, perhaps about 10 plots west of a group of large trees. The headstone is more elaborate than most and looks fairly well preserved, although discoloured, but the floor inside the kerb has collapsed (like several others in that vicinity) causing Sidney's vase to topple over.

The Cemetery Office (https://www.ipswichcemetery.co.uk/contact/) would be able to provide an estimate of the cost of any restoration.

Suffolk Lookup Requests / Re: Trimley St Mary’s Parish Registers -TURTILL (TURTLE)

Norfolk has no Oakham but there is Holkham, on the north coast, and also Hockham, closer to Suffolk, where a Thomas TUTTLE, son of William and Elizabeth, was baptized in 1779 (FamilySearch).

William TUTTLE married Elizabeth CHAPMAN at Hockham in 1765 (FamilySearch).

In 1786 Elizabeth TURTLE late CHAPMAN had a daughter named Elizabeth at Walton in Suffolk (next to Trimley) and possibly another in 1788, followed by Sarah in 1791. Coincidence?

Felixstowe FHS has transcribed the membership lists of Walton's Baptist Chapel. An entry dated 2 June 1816 names single woman Sarah TURTLE of Trimley who, after marrying Mr ETHRIDGE, left to join the church in Romney Street, Westminster.

The will of Isaac Skinner of Rattlesden (Archdeaconry of Sudbury 1755) is available from Suffolk Archives (IC/500/1/209/3).

Suffolk / Re: Any Knowledge of this Ipswich Photographer
« on: Friday 17 January 25 12:42 GMT (UK)  »
Another useful photograph by James W. Howard has now come to light: number 54656, taken on 3 August 1929. This was almost exactly two years before number 58976, making an average of about 2,170 per annum. The rate of production appears to have halved by the end of the 1930s.

Suffolk / Re: William Till, Ipswich, St. Helen's parish

I gather you've seen the Ipswich Journal of 13 June but perhaps not 10 Oct. 1761 (p. 3 col. 2) with a notice dated 25 Sept. by Eliz. Dennis about the miller William Till. He was then a prisoner at Chelmsford, charged by her as a debtor, formerly of Ipswich and lately of Danbury in Essex.

Suffolk / Re: Is it Shippon or Skippen or Skippin or Skipper or Shippen?!
« on: Tuesday 31 December 24 13:03 GMT (UK)  »
The Harleian Society's copies of the Sudbury Archdeaconry marriage licence allegations are also available from the Internet Archive. I've added hyperlinks for these volume numbers:

Vol. 69 - Part 1: 1684-1754
Vol. 70 - Part 2: 1755-1781 with index to parts 1 & 2
Vol. 71 - Part 3: 1782-1814
Vol. 72 - Part 4: 1815-1839 with index to parts 3 & 4

Brides are indexed under both maiden and married surnames but there is no Mary Shippen etc. and the only couple named James and Mary Howlet(t) in vol. 3 were to marry at Brome in 1793.

The Wetheringsett marriage register should state whether the 1797 wedding was authorised by a licence. It may have been issued by a surrogate of the Norwich Consistory Court. The NCC bonds and allegations can be browsed at FamilySearch.org or Findmypast. I don't know how many of them have been indexed.

Suffolk Lookup Requests / Re: Halesworth Parish Registers - Soanes / Soane / Sones / Soans 1600-1700s
« on: Saturday 21 December 24 11:35 GMT (UK)  »
Apparently no Soanes etc. but many other families are commemorated in the Revd Francis Haslewood's copies of the monumental inscriptions in Halesworth church and churchyard (Proceedings of the Suffolk Institute of Archaeology, 1896, volume IX, part 2, pp. 234-255).

FreeREG has many Soanes variants from the Halesworth registers between 1653 and 1899.

The latest news I've seen from Suffolk FHS about the Dunwich Deanery transcription is that well over half of the parishes for 1650-1753 have been done and also half of those for 1538-1649. The work continues but may not be completed before images of the original registers are available, if these come online early next year as planned.
