Hello,
I am trying to find:
Samuel JAY born around 1700.
He married in the Netherlands in 1734 and he said he was born in Clare. His bride was from Norwich so I am assuming he came from Clare Suffolk. He was a minister Church at Dordrecht until his death in 1751.
Any information on any JAY's in Clare around 1700 would be most welcome.

Rushenhistory...If you are still looking for the location of the Angel Inn or pub, you might look at the Angel in Glemsford. It's close to Clare and the building at least, is 16th century. I don't know how long it's operated as the Angel.

Does anyone know if records exist for Clare Priory School? There is an online article by Trevor Pickerin in a 2000 edition of Clare Focus Magazine about the school, but not much else to be found. The 1871 census lists the Master Joseph Gee, his family and the students. One of the students Alfred Smith, is the correct age and birth place to match an ancestor I'm looking for. I'm wondering if any records exist that would show parents. Does anyone know the criteria for admittance..was it a school for the wealthy? The parents were farmers and probably could not afford an expensive school.

Cheers

In 1642 William Barron left a will in which he stated he was the innkeeper of the "Angel" and that he owned a shop occupied by William Rushin, a barber.

Can anybody help with the location of the "Angel" or his shop?

Hi Anyone- do you know of Pentlow Hall, about 3.5 miles E of Clare apparently, bought in 1835 by R Simpson for the running of a school?
Or of Rev. James Bloomfield, who ran a school in Bury?

Hi Mimram/Janet,
The elusive Rinaldo... if yours was born in 1868, I believe there must have been 2 of them.
I am a Walliker, and as far as I can tell, a Sarah Walliker married William Robinson, a Glover, 17.09.1815. I have found a Rinaldo Robinson owning and occupying a house and stable at 12, Common (Callis) St., Clare, in 1866. I've also found Rinaldo Robinson at No. 13 in 1884. Also nos. 21/22 owned in 1866 by Rinaldo Robinson.
Somewhere in the newspaper archives in Bury St E, I found this; "1839 - Rinaldo Robinson won £2 prize as labourer having greatest no. of ligitimate children not on parish relieve - 5 children, awarded at S. Suffolk Agricultural Society Dinner at Clare, Nov. 20th. He has worked on same farm for 20 years". If this was Rinaldo Snr., maybe your Rinaldo was one of these 5 well-cared for children?!
Keep up the search! Kerry

Hi
I'm trying to research the Robinson family of Clare, particularly Rinaldo Robinson (born approx 1868), and his parents John and Sarah Robinson. I would like to find out Rinaldo's birth and death, his parents birth, death and marriage and his mother's maiden name. At present I seem to be unable to find any details and wonder if anyone can help? They lived in Clare for many years. I believe Rinaldo was either born in Pimlico, London or Clare, Suffolk, but I don't know where the marriage happened. Any details would be appreciated.
Thanks

For patfenno (in reply to message dated 5/11/2009)
I'm afraid Jonathan Cutts (1720-1797) is as far back as I go too ! I'm descended from Christopher and Mary's eldest son William (b.1827 in Clare - out of wedlock - two months before they married !) He's shown on the 1841 census as William Cutts but takes his mother's maiden name when he moves up to London around 1850, from then on being "William Hammond" (which is as he was baptised in March 1828.) He marries Johanna Collis (b.1821 Mitcheldever, Hampshire) in 1853 and their first child (my great grandfather) Charles Cutts Hammond was born in 1854 at Marylebone, London. Their three daughters also received the middle name "Cutts" - but younger son William Hammond (b.1863) was given the middle name "David", I believe after his grandfather David Collis.

I have been researching my father's family (the Agers) and traced them back through London to Ipswich and to Clare. I have found a record on line for the marriage of John Ager to Ursula Brett in 1820 in Clare parish church. I believe these are my ?x great grandparents. I cannot get to Clare myself to find anything further which might be available but wonder if there is some kind soul there who would know where to look and could take some time to look up the records for me to see what else might be learnt. I have a marriage date if anyone is willing to help, please.

Thank you in advance,

On my travels around the county I have come to Clare and it is a really nice place to be. In my job I am encouraging communities to help extend the library information available so that communities can see what there is in their own area to be able to get involved in. This project is run by volunteers, and we go about researching where we live and then freely adding an individual on to the information website run by the library service called InfoLink.
If anyone you know provides something that contributes the wellfare of your local people then they are eligible to have their entry on InfoLink. We record as much information as they would like to give us then we post it for them. They are then issued their own username and password so they can access their information and make any updates in the future.
This is about giving more people choice in the rural areas, and helping the people who do amazing things to be known about more so they can be supported and continue in what they do for the community.
If you think you would like to volunteer in this or know of someone who would benefit from getting in touch. Please get in contact with the Sudbury volunteer centre and she can give you my details.

Many thanks.
Kerry

I am helping my Father to do some research on the Webbs of Folly Farm (burned down c. 1865). He has some information which he has gathered in conjunction with one Jack Webb who lived around Clare/Thurlow but now sadly deceased. This was pre-internet.

In particular I see there are references to a William Webb, one of whose sons (Henry) went to Australia. We believe his father to be a Robert (d. 1804) originally from Poslingford but moved to Folly Farm in the late 1700's.
