GREEN family from Sudbury/Long Melford

[Suffolk Mawther]

Hi Suz 

Just a comment on some of the information you have found for keeweegal.

Sepulchre Street was renamed as Gainsborough Street.

I have my 1902 map in front off me (having checked for Church Street and Church Walk earlier   

So not sure when it was renamed but today you will find Gainsborough's House is in that street and nowadays is a museum to the Suffolk artist.

Many thanks to you all 

Thanks Suz for the census info,  very helpful.   No problems Pat......I know what you mean about the housework.....me too!!

Will sift through what I have so far and probably tear some hair out 

Cheers

Hi all again 

Have received a reply to my Parish Records Lookup (marriage) for Abishai James Green and Elizabeth,  married 1808.   It seems with info received that my dear Abishai married an Elizabeth Wiffin from Suffolk/Essex?    Does this name feature largely in Suffolk or Essex,   she was born about 1787,  unusual name I haven't heard of before.

Does this name ring any bells with any of you Suffolk Folk?

Regards

I don't think I have anyone registered as looking for Wiffen/Wiffin on the Suffolk Surnames List, but do have a look on the Rootschat Surnames listings.

There are certainly Wiffen families in the Sudbury area, came across several whilst working in local schools.

And of course, Sudbury is right on the Essex border, the river Stour which winds through the town is the boundary.

Hi Keeweegal
I am just starting my Green research (it being my OH's family rather than mine) and am already struggling to identify his grandfather amongst a whole flock  of William Greens born about the same time.  However, have now ordered Marriage Certificate and hope that after many fruitless hours, I might be able to get under way.  Anyway, thought I'd say that if at any point my Greens appear to collide with your Greens, I'll be in touch!

Hi Greensleeves 

No problem at all......any particular William Green....perhaps I can help?   I have various certs and wills.

Just let me know.

Hi Kimberly

I am trying to identify the William George Green (my OH's grandfather) who married, Ipswich, in Sept 1910, Mary Ann Rebecca Long.  The problem is that there seem to be several combinations of William Greens around that time, born between 1880 and 1890.  I have more or less narrowed it down to one born 1885 in Hadleigh, and one born 1886 in Ipswich but have had to order the marriage certificate to establish precisely which one he is.

I'll certainly report back when I find out! Many thanks for your offer of help.

The Ewin Green I am concerned with is that born to Abishai and Elizabeth B 1812.   The name I took was Ewin Lenton/Linton Green.    I have the marriage certificate which states he married Elizabeth Thomspon,  his father was Robert Lenton Green 

Hi

Can you tell me the occupation of Elizabeth Thompsons father on the marriage cert. I believe this Elizabeth to be a sister of my 2xg.grandfather.
