Hi I'm absolutely stuck with this.
Samuel White b Metfield Suffolk 1790. He married Rachel Clutton at St Michaels South Elmham suffolk on 10/08/1813.
He died here in 1870 aged 80.
i have through Genes and other sites got information about Rachel back to 1400 and am very grateful for this.
However, I can't find the parents of Samuel.
There are many Samuel Whites in Suffolk around that time. The year and place of birth are confirmed by family records and other members who are also related and having the same problem.
Is there ANYONE out there who can shed some light on this for me. I have a mountain of information about his descendents - I need to go BACK from him.
Thanks in anticipations

Hi, have you tried the Suffolk Look up Exchange, there are 2 people with the names White, 1- Metfield Beccles 1750-1900 & 1- Metfeild Withersdale 1700-1800, not sure which Metfield you are looking in. Maybe witness's on marriage cert. will also help to find him in either place. Worth asking anyway.

Thanks Hilary.
I didn't realise there was more than one Metfield.
