Huckbuck / Hucktuck Suffolk

[Wirral]

I have a direct line ancestor who lived in Wickham Market Suffolk. ............Although she was born in Wickham Market

Is this the Mary GARRETT age 85, a pauper, living in Wickham Market in the 1841 census? If so, it only says that she was born in the County of Suffolk, not that she was born in Wickham Market.

All the records on the IGI regarding the birth of Mary HUCKBUCK, her marriage and the baptisms of her children are "LDS member submitted" with no source given. As others have said, treat with caution.

The good news is that Suffolk Records Office is one of the few records offices that sells copies of their church records on microfilm & fiche to the general public. The records of Wickham Market are available. [Note to moderator - can I put the link on here?]

Hi Wirral,

As they sell the records they would be classed as commercial. You could remove the www bit from the url so it is not a link.

Thanks for asking.

These Huckbuck/Hucktuck entries seem to originate in the FamilySearch Pedigree Resource File, where you can also find the name and address of the person who submitted the information. It's a lady in Utah, USA. I suggest your best approach would be to try and contact her to find the source of her information.

This is the reference for Suffolk Record Office suffolk.gov.uk/LeisureAndCulture/LocalHistoryAndHeritage/SuffolkRecordOffice/Services/ParishRegisterCopyingService.htm You will need to add www

Before buying copies of the microfim (assuming you have not just won the lottery & money is no object) it may be worthwhile to review the research that you have done so far. One of my direct lines comes from Suffolk & one of the problems that I found was that the records that I needed were not available online. The IGI did not cover the churches & dates that I wanted at all. If I had followed the lines suggested from what I could find on the IGI, then I would have ended up chasing a completely unrelated family.

So, to start with, do you have the birth & marriage certificates for your family back to 1837? Have you found the family in the censuses back to 1841? If you have, & that all points to the family being from the Wickham Market area, then that is a great start. I stress the area, because although one generation may have been born there, it doesn't automatically follow that both their parents were born in the same place. In my case, I have found the baptisms for my 4g-grandparents children at Needham Market, but neither my 4g-grandfather nor 4g-grandmother were baptised, married or buried there.

By the way, I have looked at the LDS catalogue & they appear to only have transcription for the dates you want- not the original records.

I have just come back to Mary and seen the responses since I was last here. Thanks for all the help. I will try to get a copy of the records from Suffolk (depending on the cost as have not won the lottery sadly!).

Yes, I have traced the family back through the records and have certificates and census results which are all around the same part of Suffolk.

I'll let you know how I get on.

Thanks again.
