I looked at all the children on the IGI and all have Charles and Sarah listed as the parents. When you start getting into the early 1800's and late 1700's sometimes reasonable assumptions can be all that there is to decide whether it is the right ancestor. I have traced one branch back to 1650. I don't know for sure if it's absolutely correct but the data seems logical. Personally, I would assume they are all related until there is evidence they are not related.

Gill, some of these names are on the LDS Familysearch site. Type Familysearch.org into Google. At the top of the page click on the 'Search' button. In the left hand column click on the 'International Genealogical Index button' You can now enter the name ,surname and county for your ancestors. There is also a facility to put in the parents names and get out their children in list form. Regards Elaine x.

You don't say how where you got the names and dates from or how you now they are all siblings? There's an Abraham Spingett listed on the IGI for that area Christening: 27 APR 1813 Great Waldingfield, Suffolk, England Death: 24 APR 1815 With his parents listed as Charles Springett and Sarah. Searching on the batch number for Springett should bring up the christenings of the other children and confirm they all have the same parents. It might be worth using Hugh Wallis website (just google Hugh Wallis) to find the batch number for marriages for the same parish. If its been transcribed on the IGI then it should have Sarah's maiden name and then you'd be on the way to confirming the link Hope this helps Helen

may be a little obvious,but have you traced one of the males until he got married?it would state fathers name on cert wouldnt it?or on birth cert. on any of the children it will state both mother and father.

HI CAN ANYONE TELL ME HOW TO GET THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION. I HAVE A CHARLES SPRINGETT B1788/79 IN LAMARSH ESSEX, HE MARRIED SARAH PEAK IN 1812 IN ALPHAMSTONE ESSEX ( SARAH WAS BORN IN 1795 IN FORDHAM ESSEX). THE RESEARCH I HAVE SO FAR TELLS ME THAT THE SPRINGETTS I HAVE IN MY TREE ARE FROM GREAT WALDINGFIELD IN SUFFOLK. ABRAHAM 1813 EDWARD 1813 WILLIAM 1816 ELIZA 1818 JOHN 1821 GEORGE 1824 CHARLES 1826 LUCY 1829 ROBERT 1831 THESE ARE ALL BROTHERS AND SISTERS, HOW CAN I FIND OUT IF CHARLES AND SARAH ARE THE PARENTS
