David SCOTCHMER born in Woolpit 1813

[MacArk]

Hello - This is my ggg grandfather, said to be a furniture broker living in Bury St. Edmunds...I have found that he married Hannah Lorimer ("Lorimer" is my grandmother's middle name) born 1812 in Westley...they were married May 1, 1838 in St. James Anglican Church, Bury St. Edmunds...their oldest son, Alfred (1840-1926) emigrated to Canada, while the other three siblings remained in England.  I would be interested to discover David and Hannah's parentage and continue as far back as I can with this branch of my family.  Thank you for any assistance.  Joanne
