  • Notes 
    • Silk Weaver - Sudbury, Suffolk, England.
    • 1851 and 1861 Census records for William (great grandfather of James W 1887) give his birth details as Sudbury, Suffolk abt 1801. William's second marriage 1845 also gives his father's name as John, a Silk weaver. The only William born in Sudbury then is to John and Margaret. One of William's children by his first marriage is baptised both in London and in Sudbury All Saints - the family church! Unfortunately I don't have a marriage record for William to Ann and no idea where she comes from as she died before the 1851 census. Only that she was not from Middlesex. Most likely of course would be Sudbury but no joy yet. Have dna matches with descendants of William's eldest son George so no problem from there on.


      The Y dna matches of 1 and 2 GDs of my husband to 2 separate Smiths puts them all in East Anglia probably in the 1700s. More research needed - starting with Sudbury, Suffolk, then moving only 14 miles down the road to Coggeshall, Essex
