The Ling Family
Hello to all my new distant relations.
I have been working on my family tree for quite some time now and knew that my mother's side of the family was huge, that was until I found a Ling in the family, then it became gigantic!
My great great grandmother, Mary Ann Elizabeth Ling married John Bailey and it was their daughter Louisa that married my great grandfather John Naylor, my mother's grandfather. Although fairly distant, what a great family the Ling's were, and probably still are. I shall be visiting Blaxhall in March and hope to stay at The Ship Inn for a couple of days and have a look around.
Apart from that, this is a great site and I am so pleased to have come across it and now become a member so to speak.
Happy hunting everyone.

Hi Sheila,
I was just reading your post and it throws up a bit of a problem; you have Louisa Bailey marrying one John Naylor, but I provisionally have her marrying a George Cullingford in 1890. Have you got any more details so we can clear this one up?
Thanks,
Shane
