Hi All,

Battley, Calver/Carver, Pettit, Booth.
My GG grand father ran the Green Man Inn in Mendlesham Green.

Some of my Carvers emigrated over the border from Norfolk into Suffolk - they originated in the SE Norfolk area. Do you have any details? Will try to help.

Welcome to Rootschat NoeleenM 

You didn't give the name of the ancestor in Mendlesham, but I have checked White's 1844 and found that William Batley was a Beer House Keeper.

Does anyone have any CARVERS from around Worlingworth? I have a Susannah Carver, b.c. 1740, who married John TAYLOR and had  their family in Worlingworth from c1776-1787. I'd love to find out more about Susannah - parents, siblings etc. Any information gratefully received.
