Thank you for the update. So it might not be far off now!

Good news.

From Suffolk RO FAQ:
 "When will I be able to access the records online?
It is hoped that Suffolk’s main parish registers will be published online in early 2025
with other collections of local interest to follow. The images will not be released on
Ancestry’s website until the project has been completed i.e., there will be one launch,
rather than a series of mini launches, in date tranches or deanery blocks. "

Therefore one can only assume that 2025 is rather optimistic as a release date if ALL RECORDS are to be released at the same time.

Will one live to see this miracle EVER happen?

Yes.  I too wonder if "All Records" means all records or merely all the long awaited Parish records.

Anyway, words are cheap.  They remain to be backed up by meaningful action.

Looks like I may have to then book another trip to Lowestoft or go to my local Norwich affiliate library (which has many FamilySearch Suffolk records not available from your home) to look at scans of original registers of Peasenhall marriages, as I want to look at the signatures/ or "the marks of" of a 1767 marriage.

One day we hopefully can view Suffolk records on Ancestry.

If you are young you are impatient, middle aged you're more prepared to sit back and wait; get closer to ninety and you're worried that it won't be available in time!

I still like doing it the old fashioned way, the way I have done for the past few decades, going to a records office and looking at microfilm and microfiche machines, but technology is changing the world and it is gradually getting easier to do genealogy online now.

Obviously a nice way to do things if you live in Suffolk or adjoining counties. Not so convenient if you live a 600 mile return journey away in Devonshire!
