Hello. Would anyone know of Robert Green born to Robert Green~ a Miller. I believe Robert jr was born in c1801 in Ardleigh as he gave on the 1851 census. Robert Green jr is my great great grandfather. His youngest child was my father's grandmother: Jane Rebekah Green. Robert's 4 children with wife no 2~ Sarah Watkins from Wales~ were all born in Heath Weeley and later went to St Osyth to live before they all seem to have travelled far and wide.**Regards~ Julie

I am descended from Robert Page~ of Boxted~ who was born about 1558-1560~ married to Susanna Syckerling a daughter of William Syckerling. **I am interested in knowing and perhaps receiving a picture of the burial site of Robert~who was buried in Boxsted Churchyard. I do not know where that is. Also~ if a birth record could be found for Robert's son John Page~ who was baptised on 25 Sept 1586 in Boxted would be very much appreciated.**Thanking you in advance~**Susan Page

I am interested in finding out about Alfred MARSDEN who was a driver with an Australian Company of Field Engineers during WW1. He married Ivy Kathleen TANNER and gave his address as Brightlingsea~ Colchester. Ivy was a munitions worker. Was there a munitions factory near Colchester during the war? Ivy's address was Knowle~ Bristol so I am curious to know how they would have met. starr2008@dodo.com.au**

Between 1955 & 1960 I spent many happy holidays in I believe "Threeways Cottage" owned by Fred and Marguerite White. It was a lovely old thatched cottage with out buildings facing a green and only a couple of farms and farm cottages nearby. I believe it was near Wix and some miles walk into Manningtree. Does anyone recall this place?

Alderton John christened 23 March 1783 Langham Essex and John Alderton born 1806 Langham Essex.**I am researching the UK ancestry of my gggrt grand father John Alderton which appears to be a very common name for those days. I have a record of his Australian history but I would like to trace his UK heritage. I have some possible leads but I am unsure if they are the right ones. My gggrt grand father was John Daniel Alderton born 1806? Langham Essex~ on his DC his parents were a John and Elizabeth (Sarah) UNKNOWN surmame. I am wondering if the John Alderton christened on the 23rd of March 1783 in Langham Essex (parents John and Sarah? )was his father. Also if the marriage of a John Alderton in Great Massington Runcton Norfolk in 1783 to Sarah reeder/Reider which corresponds to the christening date of the Langham relative would perhaps be his father. Very confusing yes but if anyone has any possible leads I would greatly appreciate it.**Thankyou Sue Alderton**** **********

This is just an update on the last entry .I had a senior moment and said my teacher at Brantham village school was mrs Walters but that was the teacher in Baylham.The teachers were Miss Turnerand Mrs Howes.. I also Would like to Know if the Girling Family are still in the area ~we went to school with them Gay and Stuart Their grandfather was called Scottie and he looked after the last 14 retired suffok punch Horses to work on the farm .I also wanted to know if you are aware that Brantham Hall was the site of the chief house over several hundred years~ when i was at school we had to do a project that covered the history of the area Mr Keeble the owner told us that when the front driveway to the hall was dug up for repairs ~Roman water pipes were found. also that the house at a later date was moated..Not far away ~I have no idea if it still exists but there was a old quarry where stone age flint arrows etc were found these used to be in the British museum ..as we are talking 1950s i'm not sure that any of this is general knowledge any more.
