Hi Sue.  I too. thought this was a likely candidate - the only M.A.E Cable I could find around that time, but the Lowestoft Register Office said 'No, not the right person' and suggested I try the Stowmarket Office, so that is where I am at present.  Isn't it a pain the way women lost their identity on marriage?  Thank you so much for your efforts.  Yvonne

Dear Anne, thank you SO much for all you efforts on my behalf.  Do think that the baptism for MAE Cable could be the right one.  Great to have her mum's maiden name.  May I ask where you got the info from - might  be very useful in the future.

Re: John and Mary (Tye) they were married 1825 in Tunstall, where they were born.   They spent their married life in Reydon and are buried in St. Margaret's Churchyard.  I have Francis's birth cert. and he was b. Dec. 26 1844 so poor Mary must have become pregnant immediately after with George. (He was a witness at Francis and Mary's wedding - must have felt like twins!)

Do you live near Reydon?  It was my home until 1950

Again, many thanks.  best wishes Yvonne

Hi Yvonne

The info on MAE Cable came from the Benhall parish baptism register. I looked this up while at the records office.

I see what you mean about Francis and George - as there were no birth dates in the register I did wonder if they were twins, but obviously not!  Poor Mary certainly had lots of babies.

I live in Lowestoft, so only up the A12 from Reydon!

Best wishes
Anne
