MY FAMILY TREE INCLUDES THE BARN MURDER. MARIA MARTIN WAS MY 2ND COUSIN GENERATION REMOVED NATURALLY

My tree includes that murder too, my 2XgT Grandmother's neice.
For the lady who was asking about the Ballhams, have you tried the Cosford database? http://www.cosford-database.co.uk/

A visit to St Mary's is well worth the effort. The view is amazing. Anyone know if there are any cemetery records as the grave stones are so hard to read now.

I have some Balaams (another spelling!) in my family from Suffolk a charlotte Balaam who married a John Rosier another name spelt many ways,,,,,,,,,,,,,,I have found it very difficult to get back further than Charlotte I have who I think is her father a Samuel Soar Balaam  and found some details on the
 Family History on line site another paysite but very cheap,,,,,,,,,,,

so redwine if you have any info I would be gratefull........... I have looked at the Balaam site via cosford and its an interesting site, I didnt find any of mine but it is worth a visit

hi sandy
i am at work at present, so no information with , but i'd bet that his name was Boar Baalham, as the Boars where a Polstead family that married into the Baalhams, and seemed to carry their name through with them. I am a direct desendant of the boars

Thanks for offers of assistance - do not know how to use the Personal Manager!! but perhaps someone will point me in the right direction.

I have tried the Cosford Database and found lots of Baalhams for my tree - there was a lot of info.  I have yet to look at the alternative spellings though.

Thanks again
