Sudbury, EnglandPosted by markunderwood13 at 8:03PM on 28th July, 2010. (92.5.xxx.xxx)
I am searching for Underwoods. My grandparents lived at 42 Crowland rd all their lives, Bill (william) and Dot (Dorothy) Underwood. From what i can tell Bills father, Harry lived in the house before this. Harry moved here from 17 Mount rd if i am correct and in turn it looks like Isaac Underwood from Birdbrook was his father. Isaac's father appears to be Jesse born 1787 and this is as far as i have got. My father is Colin Underwood and His sister is Patricia nee Underwood.

Kim - there is a Croft House in Chauntry Road, so it might have been.
Valla, AustraliaPosted by Kim at 1:49AM on 7th July, 2010. (114.129.xxx.xxx)
Is Chauntry Croft, Haverhill (which it was known in the 1851 census) now Chauntry Rd, Haverhill? Two of my ancestros (Henry and Thomas Boreham) are shown on the 1851 census as residing at Chauntry Croft but nothing comes up on Google maps when I put this in. Any information on this family would also be greatly appreciated.

further to BACKLER written by me earlier today - the Samuel who was 'ejected' was Samuel, s. of Nathaniel of Stratford Essex; was at Magdalene Cambridge 1649 - BA 1653; MA 1656. Died in Dedham, Essex, buried Whatfield January 1686/7 Rector of Whatfield Suffolk 1656-1662, ejected after his Nonconformity. Was later at East Bergholt and Manningtree Essex - but I am sure linked in some way with the Backlers in Haverhill...

Samuel BACKLER - A few years ago there was correspondence on this board re BACKLERS in Haverhill. I am looking for Samuel BACKLER, ejected 1662 or thereabouts - trying to link with 'my' Samuel BACKLER, cleric in various places, including Astwick, Somersham and Ashwell, Herts (died in Ashwell 1720), father of another Samuel (also a cleric) and among others my 5x g-grandfather Sotherton Backler. Also trying to link with BACKLERS in Dedham, Essex in mid 17th century - currently transcribing case in Chancery, Backler v Backler - 1652 - between John and Samuel Backler re will of their father Samuell BACKLER, clothier, of Dedham. I feel there must be links between all these - grateful if anyone else has any 'leads'. Happy to share my Backler info from 1700 onwards.

Phill, are you aware that Percy Marsh's Army Service Record is available on Ancestry? It's badly fire and water damaged but has some useful information.
northampton, united kingdomPosted by john b at 5:26PM on 18th June, 2010. (86.134.xxx.xxx)
Many thanks for this, Phill. I see Percy is on the Haverhill Roll of Honour. I tracked George on the censuses, but of course from 1901 he wasn't living with his siblings because he was in Little Wratting. I'll update my record. What sad family stories there are from that time!
Haverhill, ukPosted by Phill at 2:41PM on 18th June, 2010. (92.15.xxx.xxx)
Hi John, George Marsh had more brothers and sisters! There was a Ernest who died as a baby,Percy died in the graet war and two sisters called Jennie and Rose who died of TB during the great war. Percy was killed in action 25/9/1915 aged 19yrs Rose was 23,died 1915 and Jennie was 18,died1917. We have nothing regarding this time period. All we know is Mary Ann (Georges mother) had all the children who died, she had the pictures over the fireplace and there was always a sadness about her.

In a message posted on 10th June, Phill requested information about Lillie Marsh, sister of George Marsh of Little Wratting. Hi. Phill, I wrote the book you mention. Lillie was born in Haverhill around 1879, and was the eldest of at least five children of Fred and Mary Anne Marsh. The others, besides George, were William, John and Martha. George also had a daughter, Lily, born about 1903 in Little Wratting. You should be able to find out more from the censuses of 1881, 1891, 1901 and 1911, and also from free BMD. I remain very interested in the Great War generation of Little Wratting and would be very grateful for any more information you may have about George or other members of his family. His military records are scant but perhaps there are traditions or mementoes in your family. I presume you can contact me directly from this forum, and would be pleased if you did, although I won't be able to reply for about a week. If anyone else out there has information about Little Wratting people in the early 20th Century, please get in touch.

I am looking for information regarding the Rawlingson family. My Great Grandfather was William Rawlingson born in Haverhill in 1845 and I believe died there. I believe his father was James born in Haverhill 10/08/1814. Any information would be gratefully received.

My ancestors, George Farrant and Anne Wiseman, from Haverhill were described as dissenters. I know this has to do with their religious beliefs. They were married in 1785. Which church would they have attended and how were dissenters viewed in Haverhill? How did their religious views differ from others at this time?

From the 1861 Hundon Census we have Joseph FITCH (widower, born about 1812) living with his daughter Susan (born about 1840) who is married to and living with Robert OSBORNE (born about 1839 Hundon).
We do not have any further information on Joseph FITCH or his wife, even who she was, any help would be great!
Thanks, the Bells.

We are looking for any information on the family of Stephen SCOTT, born ca 1811 Haverhill, who married Susannah HEAD (?) of Bury St Edmunds. We are descended from his son Stephen (born ca 1860 Haverhill), who married Clara OSBORNE. We have some of the Census transcripts and Clara's birth cert, though seem to be lacking so much - any help very gratefully received, The Bells.
