Hi Clive, I tried the Sweffling address but couldn't find it! Yes, you know, I'm not having a good night either! I would like to look at your site though as I have a possible Violet from Plomesgate. lol, Linda

I looked at the image - it is actually Sweffling - oh dear - so far I have about 180 of the names for the 1851 Sweffling census transcribed so can not yet search whether there are Harvey and Henrys in the village. All part of the village tree - see www.sweffling.org.uk I'm mad and now I'm proving it' Clive

Ancestry has the names as Herry, Kerl, and Henry. To my jaundiced eye I thought all three are Henry. The first two must be the same - they are man and wife! (or at least I think they are). For anyone having problems with the reference I gave dial in for 1851 James Barham, born 1774, in Badingham, Suffolk, residence Sweffling, Suffolk. Thanks for your efforts. Clive

HO 107; Piece 1802;Folio 728, Page 10 Village of Sweffling. Lines 2 and 3 - what is the name? Is it the same as the forename in line 8? Lines 2 and 3 ar eman and wife so Ifind the Ancestry reading unlikely. Clive
