Hitcham parish lookup - BROOKE/PARKE

[chellemcg]

Hello,

Hitcham parish

Looking to confirm:

* Were George BROOK(E) (from Stanningfield) and Martha PARK(E) married in Hitcham in 1631?
   (George's will in 1656 lists John PARKE as his brother in law)

* I think there may be christenings for the Martha's siblings in Hitcham:
  Abagail (1616), Clement (1619), John (1621), Philip (1624) and Elizabeth (1628), all believed to   
  be children of William PARKE and his wife, who may have been called Abigail. Just looking to
  confirm that these christenings did take place, and that I have their parents' names correct?

I believe Martha and her younger brother William were christened in Whatfield, in 1611 and 1614 respectively.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Michelle

I looked at Hitcham parish register and can confirm baptisms of Clement May 1619, Johannis Dec 1621, Philipus March 1624 and Elizabetha Nov 1628.  I couldn't see Abigail, but that could just be me 

In Whatfield, as suffolk*sue confirmed, William Parke married Abigail Braby on 14th June 1610.

They baptised Martha on 14th June 1611 and William on 24th February 1613 in Whatfield.
