Hoo in Suffolk

[percy porter]

I have a line of my tree pre 1881 in Suffolk, variously placed in BMDs' and census in Hoo, Hoo Green and Plomesgate. I am hoping to find which churches are likely to be in that area so that I can try and find details of Marriages, Baptisms and Burials.

Any help would be appreciatted.

Hi Alan,
There's a little freebie program called Parloc [Parish Locator] that will tell you names of churches within specified radius of what you state.   Maybe this would help.

Thanks Charlotte, I'll give that a try if I don't get anything when those up the top end wake up.

The time zones are very annoying ... waiting for them to wake up is always a good idea... but the next few days I fear they are going to be glued to the TV watching the Test

This GENUKI link will take you to a search engine.  If you type into the place box and set a distance, it will tell you all the churches within that range:

Once you have found the church you are looking for it would be well worth checking out the Suffolk Churches website.

Dear Percy Porter,

Just to re-assure you, we have friends who used to live at

Hoo Cottage
Hoo Green
Hoo


and said with a Suffolk accent - believe me, a wonderful address to have 

The church at Hoo is dedicated to Saints Andrew and Eustachius and the Parish Records for baptisms, banns, marriage and burials runs from 1653 -1900 on a total of 4 yes, just 4 fiche at the SRO.  I think you will see how that reflects the size of the village.  In the mid-1800s just 211 people living there on 1163 acres of land.  Many ancient ties to the nearby parich/village of Letheringham.

You can purchase them if you wish or they should be available to your local LDS centre.

Thanks Pat, I am not sure but I don't think we have an LDS centre here in NZ. My wife however is going tob e in the UK next month and if she can find out were the nearest one is she should be able to get some information.
