The 'Read' Family


 

 

Read Family Info
 

On this page I am placing any information regarding the READ families of Hempnall and Saxlingham Nethergate in an attempt to string the families together.
There is a lot of information which includes :-
Hempnall Parish Marriage Records
Hempnall Baptism Records
Census Return Information - It's a long page - If anyone can help with more it would be most welcome.

It appears that in the 1700's and 1800's Hempnall was awash with Reads and each family carried on a tradition of carrying the first names of their ancestors even though other siblings living had the same names. Therefore we have Jonathan's, Samuel's, William's and Charle's and that just the men. I wounder how they refered to each other?

I have started to put some families together - These are at the bottom of this page - Thery are mainly from Hempnall.
Still trying to find someting on my Saxlingham family as I am sure there is a connection.

I apologise for the state of this page but it is work in progress - I am trying to make sense of it myself.

 

Gathered file information.......

Not in any order - Work in progress
