Hello Gary,
 
I have been having a look at your web site, which is great as it
 is giving me some insights into the village of some of my ancestors.
I live in New Zealand and am researching the history of my family, my mothers mother was a Dellow, and her family came originally from Widdington.
 
However what really caught my eye was your article on the murder of James Mumford. Because we also have PALLETT ancestors.
 I now want to find out exactly what relationship I am to John Pallett.
 He is either the twin brother of my ancestor
(Ann Pallett born 8 Aug 1714) or he could be her nephew.
 
I Googled "bbbbbbbbbbbb" and found some other articles on
 the murder, but nowhere could I find anything on his 
age or parentage. If he is the twin brother of my Ann he would be about 39, but if he is the nephew he would be about 21.
(He was 21 so the nephew.  GaryD)
 
On another matter - would you know if the headstones
in the local churchyard have been transcribed?
It would be interesting to see if any headstones survive from
my ancestors. Also this could possibly help with another matter,
I am descended from a John Dellow who was born in 1779 or 1780,
but the Widdington church christening records show
that two John Dellow's were born one in 79 and the other
 in 80 to different families, I cant tell yet which is mine, so need more information.
 
I have gone on long enough about the family names, it is unfair
to bombard you with details that are of no interest to you.
 This message is really to make contact and thank you for your web site.
 
Regards
Brendon Scheib
Wellington, New Zealand.
