Biography

• Baptism and burial dates.

• It is unknown where the marriage to George's first wife took place. There is no marriage for them recorded in Wickham Skeith. The lack of indexed records for Suffolk parishes prior to the 1720s makes researching Suffolk ancestors very difficult. The researcher must know which parish to look in to find these early birth, marriages or burials.
