My great-great-great-grandfather Joseph Lawrence was born in 1801 and raised his family in Haughley Green. His sons James, Nathan, and Elijah left for Cambridgeshire to become blacksmiths, while their brother Ephraim stayed in the Haughley area. I am descended of Nathan who ended up in Burwell, Cambridgeshire. I would like to know more about the Haughley/Haughley Green side of the family, and especially about Joseph's father George, if anyone could be of assistance. Thanks!

• Hi again, Bev- I'm happy to say that I identified Figgy, but it's good to hear about her family. Did Margaret marry a Mr. Mahood in Fakenham? I can identify Marie but not George. In any case, I'm happy to say that I will be in the UK in mid-March, though if you're still willing to share photos of Ephraim's line, I can be reached at mlawrence@bemidjistate.edu (my office address at Bemidji State University). I can send you contact information privately about our closest Lawrence relatives still in England (now in Norfolk).

I am interested in finding about my ancestors and the kind of life they would have lived in this area of Suffolk. My great grandparents Ernest and Catherine Lawrence lived in the village until 1970s. Ernest's father~Ephraim was born in Haughley about 1833 and his mother~Sarah Elzabeth Moss was born in Wetherden about 1843. I think Ephraim's father was Joseph born in Haughley 1802 and mother Elizabeth Elmer about 1804. The Green appears to have been an address of the family. Any information would be most gratefully received.

I was horried to learn of a thatch fire in February at Valley Farm~ Buxhall~ I am a long time friend of the Clarke family who lived there~ the last time I visited them there was in 1980. If anyone can give me any information on anyone of this family I would be so grateful**I would hate to think that the many happy memories I have of the farm and my visits there are now laying in ruins.

This is the first time I have visited this site. I am from the US and researching the Lock families who immigrated from this area. We know through a Lock DNA project we have a link to Wyverstone~ Suffolk. I would like to correspond with those in the area who have researched this line. Have a great day.
