I should think he is entered as Mr or Fe.....because the Church Member who entered the info was not sure of his name, or how it was spelled. As for the Ireland/Suffolk bit, I would think they have accidentally added the ''Antrim'' to the wrong person. Is that where Castle Brigges is? (I can't find it in my not very detailed book about Ireland!) Merry

The submitter has given years and places of birth for Catherine, her husband, parents and sister, a marriage date for the parents which states 'about' and is 20 years after the mother's birth (but 14 years before Catherine's birth) and an 'about marriage year for Catherine based on Fe.. being 20 when they married. All this seems to say that they actually only had a census entries for the family and tried to guess when and where they might have married. Noah, born in Norfolk married an Irish wife. Older daughter Catherine born in Ireland, other daughter Sophia born in Norfolk but the submitter guessed at a Norfolk marriage. Family then show up on a Suffolk? census with Catherine's husband so a Suffolk marriage assumed for them. Perhaps the husband gives different places of birth on 2 separate censuses or perhaps the submitter just got very confused!
