PARENTHESES

( ) - these are used to show dates of birth and death after spouses and before the dates of marriages. They also contain remarks, usually in italics.
[ ] - information sources

LAYOUT

The layout of each page is in families so far as can be shown, and in date order. Each person has a unique number, so that these may be used to link families. Children are shown with a number of dots after the number - eg "123......Henry bap 27 May 1654 Hoxne". Where a person subsequently marries the dots are omitted.

Thus "123......Henry" might appear again as "123 Henry" marrying say, a Mary, and having another family who may be numbered 154....... onwards.

Names are shown in bold style.

The page is organised into generations, which have to be treated flexibly. If you are looking for someone particular and don't find them, try the generations before and after.

Remarks made in square brackets are the source for the information. Not all entries have sources identified - this is an ongoing exercise which will gradually be rectified. Ultimately it is hoped to have all sources shown.
