Daughter Sophia Clarke was baptized 1 Jul 1798 Bramford, Ipswich and married Edmund Taylor 23 MAR 1823 at St Clements, Ipswich. This is from a contact and I don’t have sources so not confirmed.
I have not looked at this line for a couple of years so there may be info around now somewhere.

Hi Kat,

Elizabeth SKIPPER is the one on the IGI baptised to John SKIPPER & Lydia DAWES in 1762.

The marriage to William CLARKE took place in Burstall.

I've just rung my friend who is descended from Edmund TAYLOR & Sophia CLARKE & she's going to have a root through her research for some details which is very good of her as she's packing to go on holiday today.

All her info. is from parish records as she is the friend who accompanies me on my research trips to Suffolk. I'll add more when I receive it.

Morning Glen, it must be my birthday!
What great news and what a kind friend you have. Thank her for me please. She can leave the info 'til after her hols - I can wait a bit longer :)
The IGI entry is submitted so not on the new search.

Well, Chris wrote an email to me with some details but there was something wrong with the format & it disappeared in to the ether. Her husband is trying to retrieve it but in the meantime she told me some details over the phone.

The William CLARKE/Elizabeth SKIPPER marriage actually took place in Sproughton in Nov 1790 (exact date on email).The witnesses were both GODDARD. The children were all born/bapt. in Bramford.

She has found a bapt. for William in Sproughton but isn't totally convinced as it's a bit early when compared to his age at death but there are other factors which make it possible. The details will have to wait until after her holiday.

Elizabeth SKIPPER 1762 was the daughter of John SKIPPER & Lydia DAWES who married in Bramford in 1753.

Lydia DAWES was bapt. in Bramford (probably the date on the IGI) but what that doesn't say is that her parents were Daniel DAWES & Catherine DURRANT (Widow) who married in Claydon.

Daniel DAWES was bapt. in Bramford to a John & Mary.

I told her not to worry until after her holiday & the email hasn't come through so I'll get the rest for you in a couple of weeks. I don't think you'll find this info. online apart from some submitted bits.

Thanks Glen ,
Good stuff.
I wait in anticipation :)

Although the IGI entries are submitted, those are the dates in the register. There is also a Sarah in 1770 & a Catherine in 1773 - no exact dates.

She has found a bapt. for William in Sproughton but isn't totally convinced as it's a bit early when compared to his age at death but there are other factors which make it possible. The fact that he married there plus a Stephen was also baptised there to the same parents (Sorry I lied, it wasn't the same parents) & William & Elizabeth also had a Stephen.

Lydia DAWES was bapt. in Bramford (probably the date on the IGI) but what that doesn't say is that her parents were Daniel DAWES & Catherine DURRANT (Widow) who married in Claydon.

Further investigation shows that Daniel DAWES was apprenticed to a Joseph DURRANT in 1721. Joseph marries Catherine ALPS in Ipswich St Matthew 13/7/1721 & is buried in Bramford 11/6/1730 which leaves the way open for Daniel to marry the widowed Catherine (see above) early 1730s -don't have exact date.

Daniel DAWES was bapt. in Bramford to a John & Mary. Still don't have exact date.

An Elizabeth SKIPPER marries (I think) a John BEAUMONT in 1797 so we think that is the 1767 one. Plus the burial of Elizabeth CLARK has been found & her age fits with a birth c. 1762 - my friend just can't find it at the moment.

Lydia DAWES was bapt. in Bramford (probably the date on the IGI) but what that doesn't say is that her parents were Daniel DAWES & Catherine DURRANT (Widow) who married in Claydon.

This marriage actually took place in Akenham in 1730, both of Bramford. No exact date.

The William CLARKE/Elizabeth SKIPPER marriage actually took place in Sproughton in Nov 1790 (exact date on email).The witnesses were both GODDARD. The children were all born/bapt. in Bramford.

Both single 17/11/1790 Sproughton Wit: John & James GODDARD or poss. GOODALL.

Hope some of this is useful to you Kat. It's rather disjointed but it's not my research so I don't have any details to hand. Well the bit that is mine is the apprentice info. & deducing the relationship between DURRANT, DAWES & ALPS.

Daniel in turn had an apprentice Joseph RUDLAND in 1742.
