Dear Dr. Gotts:

Hector Suffling, my grandmother's brother, (1866-1952), married Marjorie
Bessey. They lived at Caister, where Hector was a councilman in his old age (a
schoolmaster, he became a barrister in middle age.) He was from the Hanworth
branch, but his cousin Norford Suffling and descendants owned a cannery at
Yarmouth. Were Marjorie's family descendants of your Besseys?

Happy hunting, Sonia Murray (Biloxi, MS, USA)
