A brief flirtation with a free trial on Ancestry has me worried, based on the fact that most of the other trees I looked at show his mother as being unmarried. Her name was Sarah Docking b. 22/2/1758 Lakenheath. Previously I had her married to John Docking b. 1760, Norfolk

	Paul, can I just ask how you know he was born in Lakenheath (Suffolk) ? There is a baptism on Family search in 1793, mother Sarah - can't see anything else right now. Jan

Member Since: February 2011 Posts: 51 Send Message	Sorry guys - just got in after a long day on the road. Brief review seems to confirm that my fears were true and he didn't have the father I had assumed. Will look a bit closer at your responses in morning. Thanks yet again for your help. Chris - by now you must know more about the Docking tree than me.
