Suffolk Marriages Update

Following on from the blogs Happy Valentine's Day and Suffolk Baptisms and Marriages, we confirm that the Suffolk marriages have now all been included into the  
PA(R)S(K)(E)(QUE) database.

Suffolk Marriage Index

As mentioned in the previous blog, the transcription consists of tens of thousands of entries, between 1536 and 1902, and covering over 433 out of approximately 500 parishes of the County of Suffolk. We found 100 marriages, that were distributed amongst the family groups:

02-1 Suffolk    11
02-2 Suffolk    24
06 Suffolk         5
06a Suffolk       1
08 Suffolk         1
09 Suffolk         6
26 Suffolk         7
35 Suffolk         1
55 Suffolk         1
56 Suffolk         1
Not Known      42

Boyd's Marriage Index (Suffolk)

Of the 396 marriages found in the Boyd's Marriage Index, 230 were in Suffolk. These included 31, kindly provided by Sam Hammond. Also several of them were duplicates of the Suffolk Marriage Index. These were distributed amongst the family groups: 

02-Suffolk        2
02-1 Suffolk     3
02-2 Suffolk    22
06 Suffolk         8
06a Suffolk       1
08 Suffolk         1
26 Suffolk         5
29 Suffolk         1
35 Suffolk         1
55 Suffolk         1
56 Suffolk         1
Not Known    184

The 'Not Known' in the Suffolk Marriage Index, and the Boyd's Marriage Index have been included into the database, and now have an icon indicating that the record was in Suffolk, but not yet assigned to a family chart. Similarily, there are now 'Not Known' icons for other counties.

All these new records have been included in a website update today, making it the largest update we have done. 295 new narratives have been added. There are now a total of 11,573 detailed narratives available on the website and 18,633 (297 new) people in our database.

Happy Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day, also called Saint Valentine's Day or the Feast of Saint Valentine, is celebrated on February 14, all over the world. The day is an occasion in which lovers express their love for each other by presenting flowers, and sending greeting cards. 

Yesterday, we received a list of people who undoubtedly expressed their love for each other. Sam Hammond provided us with a list of 31 Suffolk marriages from Boyd's Marriage Index, ranging from 1653 to 1750. 

Today, we will be including these in our database, together with the 100 Suffolk marriages mentioned in the previous blog Suffolk Baptisms and Marriages.

Many thanks Sam for your efforts - it is very much appreciated.

Suffolk Baptisms and Marriages

Find My Past have recently included in their records Suffolk Baptism Index 1538-1911, and Suffolk Marriage Index.

Suffolk Baptism Index 1538-1911
The Suffolk Baptism Index was created by the Suffolk Family History Society. The index includes 351 parishes and 747,204 records across the East Anglian county. We found:

PASKs    247
PASKEs  248
PARSKs     2
PASQUEs   3

Whilst we have a lot of the baptisms, kindly provided by the Suffolk researchers, we have compiled a spreadsheet. We are checking the entries, and adding any new ones to the database. 

During the past week, we have added information on baptisms. In particular PASK-related families in Lawshall, and Cockfield, Suffolk. 

Charlotte Pask married Daniel Lambert and they had eleven children. They in turn had several children, and subsequently this resulted in an additional 47 new narratives. 

Suffolk Marriage Index
The transcription consists of tens of thousands of entries, between 1536 and 1902, and covering over 433 out of approximately 500 parishes of the County of Suffolk. We found:

PASKs      49
PASKEs    48
PARSKs     3
PASQUEs   0

Most of these marriages are already included in our database. However, similarly, we have created a spreadsheet and are checking the entries, and adding any new ones to the database. 

The website is currently being updated with this information today. There are now a total of 11,278 detailed narratives available on the website and 18,336 (48 new) people in our database. 

Descendants of Arthur Ernest & Lillian Pask née Church

This information relates to Suffolk Chart 26, the descendants of Thomas Pask who was born in 1777 in Brockley, Suffolk.

Some time ago Roger Pask contacted us regarding his ancestors Arthur Ernest & Lillian Pask née Church. At that time we did some research, but did not include the information into our database.

Arthur originated from Rattlesden, Suffolk and was the son of Henry & Anne Sophia Pask née White, who ran the Rising Sun at Rattlesden. Arthur served in the Army before, and during World War I as an Ambulance Driver. However his trade was a Baker.

This information will now be available in the next website update, and includes information on their deceased children, and their families:

Lily Annie L. Pask
Alfred Arthur Pask
Ivy May Pask
Charles William Pask
Ernest H. Pask
Albert Edward Pask
Arthur Jacob Pask

Many thanks to Roger for providing the information on this family. It has helped us to complete many missing links.
