	The only slight chance you’d have of finding info would be by visiting the County Records Office. OR by contacting the relevant FHS, who may be able to assist you

Member Since: May 2006 Posts: 7,005 Send Message	Ellen - check out what is available at the Record Office https://nrocatalogue.norfolk.gov.uk/index.php/suffolk If it seems that there is something useful they can usually give you details of some paid for research. Don't worry that it says norfolk - they share. It is always worth asking the locla FHS to see if they have anything : https://suffolkfhs.co.uk/ It is always work checking out the GENUKI pages for either County or place as it can sometimes give you details of what years of church records are available..

	Ellen, if you have Ancestry the image of the Baptism that safc has found is on there. It would appear that the Claxtons came from Dickleburgh in Norfolk so there are other baptisms etc on there too including her father Luke's. In some cases it might mean wading through the images year by year. Ancestry has a good collection of Norfolk Records. Unfortunately, Ancestry's collection for Suffolk isn't so good.
