Hallo Alan, found the marriage of Hannah Easter to James Shepherd 16 th Nov 1791.
At St Margaret's  Leiston birth of James Dec 1791 _ just in time_ and baptised 1'st Jan. 1792..
So all ties in
Hannah,s parents Robert And Ann Easter. As you say.
Thanks for getting me on the right track.

I started off doing family history to find out where the music gene came from.
Never found it...but found gardeners and horsemen,  some carpenters and craftspeople.
And some very stoical people.
Imagine still being an ag lab...not retired...at 90.
Thank you.

Fife / Re: English ancestry in Fife

Well one of my sons from Cornwall  met and married a Fife girl in Fife and still lives there

My godmother  was born 1885 . In Paddington. Her   grandfather , one James Donnet,  born 1830  in Carnbee Fife. walked from  Carnbee   to  London . He was a baker.
(Expect he  got some carter's lifts on the way...it took  some days.).sometime in the1850 he
setup a bakery in Hereford Rd Paddington
The house is still there. The bakery was in the base basement .The family lived on the upper floors.

Iast time I looked it was an Indian  restaurant .
So  folk were shifting to and from Fife throughout the generations.
Now in 2024, I would think the moves would only one way...From London to Fife.

Thank you Alan,
Yes very interested.
All noted down gratefully.

 I was looking for a  Hannah Easter or Easthaugh all yesterday and this morning but no luck.  Didn't think to look for Ann.
Dialect makes a difference....!

Ancestry, the genealogist etc.family search...Theberton folk very thin on the ground..

Thank you essnell,
I am glad you are happy...happy is good.


Wasn't that a good thing   Alan finding James.. after all these years.
I am so amazed at how kind folk are on here and  give their time to help.
They have always helped me... A lovely lady found my Welsh house and later I was able to find  it's history.
I have remembered it all my life.
And K Garrod and and Haenes talu helped with the Irish ones

Wasn't it lucky too that I deleted all the Feveryear , Rous etc lines before it went to Ron at genealogy printers.. incidentally  he was fantastic and  went over and above to help me. Daughter was delighted.
 As was I. And price was very very  reasonable.
So thank you all.
Lola

Yes Alan. That helps enormously. Thank you.
I had  all the others  except Hannah.
You finding James was the icing on the cake and any extras are the candles.
As for Easter or Easthaugh they go back a long way in Norfolk and Suffolk .and loads of Hannahs.
 
 I was always sceptical about the Fressingfield Shepherds being mine.
John and Susanna, Shepherd (of Fressingfield)  had James born 1793 died aged 23 and their  James of 1791 and 1792 died as infants.  So they couldn't,t be mine yet  there are trees on ancestry that have my people on ....and they are all wrong.

Thank you Alan, v good of you to give me so much of your time.
I had the marriage..  in Leiston.thanks .from the Suffolk cd  of marriages.


It must be in one of the boxes or I gave it away.

Easter or Eashaugh is intriguing.

BUT why did James and Mary never have a Hannah?
Ancestry always has name as Sheppard. It is Shepherd on Henry.s marriage cert to Emily.
Henry was James and Mary,s son and my  GT GT grandad.
Then there was, James, Mary,Adam, Tryphena, Susan, Elizabeth and a Daniel and William but
No Hannah.  No Augusta either but Emily had an Augusta.
Thank you again.
The James you found must be mine...and now I have his parents names.
Very grateful...no more record office visits as rarely go out of house.

Alan,
The word genius springs to mind....after 30 pyears of my searching to no avail...you,ve found him.
How did you do it.?
Thank you .
It has made my day.
St Peter.s records ..where are they kept?
I went all round St Peter,s Graveyard but no Sheppards did I find.
James is buried  at

 St. Margaret.s Leiston
All the census says born Theberton. He was an ag lab but not stupid and would know his birthplace.

David
Me again. Amazingly I was able to follow your link and got into family search. Thank you.
Read the will...only it is not like the one I had years ago.
It is different writing. The other blacker and harder to read .
It is very verbose.( now I know where I get the verbosity  from)
I wondered why he left his daughter Elizabeth ot but she had died the year before.

Thank you David,
I have great difficulty now in getting into family search. It used to just be automatic when I put my user name in...then one day , years later, it asked me for password. Could not remember so made a new one...saved by Google and duck duck go.
But family search refuses it so virtually given up.

Besides N RO are sending me a copy and that is what is wanted.
 Expected the price to have gone up... ( Over 6 times). Like everything.

Not been to NRO for about 18 yrs .

I never expected the will to  be at Norfolk and Suffolk record office didn't answer the phone .
And I am very pleased that someone on here  knew where to guide me.
Now if only someone could only  find me James Sheppard supposedly born Theberton 1792 /4.
Married Mary Barber in Leiston in 1814
I was told he was son of John  Sheppard in Fressingfield. Spent long years researching  that  line back, spent whole day looking at the tombstones in  Fressingfield and Stradbroke freezing weather, for clues. Was told  just couple of weeks ago that   John Sheppard father of James was not mine just a week before tree was to be printed for daughter
So deleted all those lines.
So who was my James Sheppard ?
Does anyone out there know.
