Fenning/ Fennings research
Thanks for the welcome.
I suppose just like everyone else I have to find my way round yet, but in the meanwhile I thought I would tell you what I am researching.
Basically it is the Fenning/Fennings family who I have managed to track back in time to Suffolk circa 1804.
Unfortunately I have come to a full stop as one of the key players, my great, great grandfather seems to have no record of his birth.
The various census records from 1841 onwards indicates that he was born in Nacton between 1804 and 1806 and married Eliza Friston on the 11th of May 1826 in Sutton. So far, despite extensive research I have not managed to find any other documentary evidence to substantiate his birth date/place or, most importantly who his parents were. He may have been born in the Naction Union Workhouse but records there are so sparse that I have once again met a dead end.
If there is no other documentary evidence of his birth then it may well be worth skipping that and concentrating on trying to find his parents.
In the absence of birth documentation it crossed my mind whether it was worth trying to get hold of a transcript of his marriage as that might show who George's parents were.
I live in North Lincolnshire which is a long way from Suffolk and I wondered whether among the members of and contributors to this forum there is anyone who regularly visits Ipswich RO?
If there is please let me know.
