Hello, my lovely people! :)

You guys have always been so helpful and I thank you for that! But I'm stuck again and can't get my head around quite what to do! :/

The furthest I've managed to get back, is my 4x great grandad, Samuel Leeds, he was born in 1792. He was a Parish Clerk and also a Schoolmaster, he lived in Brandeston, Suffolk.

Interestingly, in a list of Cambridge University Alumni, I think I may have found his grandfather & great grandfather, but I'm missing the link between them. I have quite a lot of detail, so if anyone thinks they might be able to help, please get in touch!!! I'm thinking parish register?..But I've no idea what I'm doing or where to look?
