DENNY family

[mrstar]

Hello,
Iam new to this board and am fascinated by the wealth of info on here and hoping someone may be able to help me with my research.  I am wondering whether anyone has any info about Dennys from Suffolk? mainly Wetheringsett and Debenham (back to Thomas Denny 1717) but surrounding area also. Some of the spouse names include Maria Everson, Harriet Chittock, Louisa Garrard and Fanny Heath.
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Mrstar
I know it's not the precise area you are searching, but the Rattlesden parish records show the following Dennys:
1611 Agnes Denny, widow, of Combs, marries John Waller
1627 Edmund Denny of Combs marries Dorothy Moore
1633 Edmund Denny, son of Edmund Denny, baptised
1704 Audrie, daughter of George Denny, baptised

Combs/Rattlesden are not that far from Debenham, so this info might be of use to you.
Regards,
Greensleeves

Hi Mrstar 

Welcome to Rootschat.

Like Greensleeves...not the area...(I don't think)   I have Denny's from Southwold and close areas.

Best of luck

The Denny family in Combs is well known in Suffolk.

Go to photographs, and then click on Combs

Scroll down for photographs of the family Tannery and other Denny references.

That's a very interesting website, Pat - I have added it to my favourites to peruse at leisure. Someone is looking for Pearl(e)s in Buxhall so I will have to check my tree and see if I had any lurking there!

I'm sure you will find it interesting too, mrstar.

There's a lot of DENNYs in Suffolk.  I have one branch loosely related to my mother's side.

There are a few DENNY graves in Swilland churchyard (fairly recent ones), and there's also a few DENNY's in a Roll of Honour plaque for fallen heroes in Ashbocking church.  I have photos of the graves and of the Roll of Honour, if you would like to send me your email address in a private message, I can send you copies.

I too have an interest in any Dennys in Suffolk.  My Denny's seem to originate in Westhall, being yeoman farmers and then move to Southwold.  I am a direct descendant of a Robert and Mary Denny who both died in Southwold and are buried in the churchyard there. 

Other surname interests are Threadkell, Biddle, Ginger, Gadsden, Tuffield, Brookes, Kilsby

.......And I have some (or rather my wife has) in Grundisburgh and Otley!

I am researching the Buckenham family of Debenham, and have come across James Denny through my research, though he is mentioned in regard to Eye, not Debenham.

In indexes of people named in a few Buckenham wills, I've been able to establish that James Denny, of Eye, was married to Elizabeth Buckenham, and they had a son named James also.

The Transcript says the will was dated 1737. James the son was also mentioned in a will of 1759.

By sure chance I was combing the parish register transcripts for Burgate today, and came across the burial of "Elizabeth, ye wife of James Denny", Dec 6 1722.

If you wish to know anything about the Buckenhams, I have a few generations from the wills.

Cheers,

lewis
