2023 has been a bumper year for me and my Suffolk ancestry, including finding a direct ancestor shipped to Australia in 1791, to finding a marriage that has taken me years to find, due to the wife being previously married, and the husband was listed with a slight variant of the surname. And several more 1650-1753 surviving baptism registers for certain deaneries in Suffolk have been released in 2023 further helping my research.
Ironically when I was in Australia in 2007, I stayed at a hotel just a few hundred yards from the church where my convict ancestor was buried.
