Congratulations on an excellent website. I listened to a BBC Radio 4 programme today on George Ewart Evan's recordings of Blaxhall people in the 1950s, and it brought back many memories of growing up on a farm near Bungay, Suffolk. The reference in the programme to smuggling in Blaxhall and Iken also interested me because my Great Grandfather George Creasy lived in Iken in the 1870/1880s and married Jane Hurren from Kelsale. I wonder if there's any information in your archives about them. |

many years ago my grandfather William Caines had a chicken farm in Blaxhall, he also kept a few pigs. I remember riding on one of the pigs and also have a photo of me holding a chicken with a bandaged leg.Does anyone remember him? he died when I was 8, so that was in 1959. I have many happy memories of walks to Woodbridge and along the coast, also to Iken. |

You must be fed up with this one but what,if any,is the significance of the stone incorporated into the village sign? My walking group had an lovely circular walk from (followed by an good lunch at)The Ship last Sunday and we all wondered but forgot to ask.With thanks.The stone in the sign is representative of the Blaxhall Stone, which can be found at Stone Farm - thanks, Jonathan |

I have been trying to trace my family tree and I think my Great, Great Grandfather (Jonathan Pratt) married a Lucy Jay from Blaxhall in 1840. Also Ron Ellis mentioned that his wife was related to the Pratt family from Little Glenham - me too! |

My Great great grandfather Jonathan Pratt was married to Lucy Jay. Lucy's mother was Sarah SMITH born in Blaxhall in 1795. Sarah married William JAY in 1822. Does anybody know any more information on Sarah or her parents? |

I visited Stone Common and the Church recently with a cousin who is researching the family tree. My mother's aunt Elizabeth Oliver lived at 2 Stone Common. Her sister was Caroline Gaze who lived at the shop, Waterloo House. We found Caroline's photo in the book in the church and I have now found it on your website. Many thanks.If you have any information on Tom or Caroline Gaze and John and Elizabeth Oliver I would be pleased to receive it. |
