(1) I would like to ask Mary Pearle (b. 1832 Brettenham, Suffolk) to tell me her story. She had two illegitimate children, and married the father of her third child shortly before he was born. She then left the children (including the baby) with her mother and went off to live with her new husband. They later parted (he appears to have gone back to his mother) and she bigamously married another husband, and ended up living with a third husband in what looks like reduced circumstances. Mary Pearle, was it all worth it, or did you spend most of your life in tears?
(2) Lucy Bristo, who married John Hewis(s)on, Royal Artillery, in Woodbridge in 1806 - what happened to John Hewis(s)on? Where did he come from and where did he go? AND why was your daughter, Lucy, baptised Lucy Bristo Hewison in 1807, always known as Lucy Bristo? Was this a bigamous marriage? Did he do you wrong, the [possibly] utter swine?
(3) Lovely Syslye Waddilove, who married John Pearle in Rattlesden, Suffolk in 1570 - please, please tell me where you came from! I know there are Waddiloves in Norfolk - are they yours? They are only a few miles away from Rattlesden so it is quite possible, but impossible to prove...
