Bures St Mary....

This is a fine village, partly in Suffolk and partly in Essex (Bures Hamlet), separated by the River Stour....
 
 
Looking towards Bures from the Wormingford Road, but no worms in sight....

Cindy, would it be permissible to use one of your photographs of St. Mary's Church in Bures St. Mary in my (non-profit) family-history project? Some of my father's 15th Century ancestors were married, baptized and buried there.

Thanks!

Hello Cindy,

I love your collection of photos of Bures St Mary and please may I use one or two in my family history which I am writing just for myself and three members of the family. I ask because our ancestor, Samuel Peachey, was baptized in the church on 17 June 1690 by his father's cousin, Bezaliel Peachie who was the vicar at that time. I think Bezaliel's name is recorded in a list of vicars in the porch? Bezaliel and Samuel's grandfather, Richard Peachie was the minister at Denston and vicar at Great Waldingfield from 1601 to 1650.

Thank you so much,
Kind regards,
Pauline Taylor

Hi Cindy, Hi Pauline,
I'm Tracy, my sister Clare and I have visited Bures St. Mary's Church today, 25 May 2024.
We are also in the process of tracing our family tree, although we are quite new to this.
We believe that we too are related to Bezaliel and Samuel Peachey.
We have taken a photograph of the list of the Church Priests and Vicars that you mention. Bezaheil Peachi is on the list (the spelling of both names seem to vary a lot in our research). He was vicar of Bures St Mary’s Church from Jan 2nd, 1680. Stephen Unwin took over the role in May 31, 1716, I believe that this was not long after Bezaliel’s death.
We have a photograph that we would love to share with you, Pauline. Is there a way we could do this and maybe learn a little more to add to our family tree? Please do get in touch if you are able to, we would love to hear from you.
Cindy, I hope that you don’t mind that I have reached out through your blog.

Thank you both.
Tracy (Colchester, Essex, UK)
