I'm trying to find birth details and parents of Samuel Francis who apparently was born in 1778 in Suffolk, possibly Hepworth (there's a Hepworth in Norfolk as well, just to add to the mystery). Can anyone help, please?

WDYTYA - Do they have a German Version?

Too much of a coincidence

Perhaps the rector of St Peter's Church in Hepworth (Suffolk) will be able to tell you where the church records are kept and how they can be accessed. You can email John Fulton at this address:

www.familysearch.org is returning a lot of Samuel Francis in Suffolk for that period. Go to the advance search so you can put the County in as well

The records are on the IGI:
Hepworth St Peter (Baptisms 1563-1679-Modern Transcript/Index; Baptisms 1563-1764-Modern Transcript-LDS Film 991938; Baptisms 1765-1812-Modern Transcript BTs; Marriages 1563-1764-Boyd's; Marriages 1563-1679-Modern Transcript/Index; Marriages 1754-1812-SMI; Burials 1563-1679-Modern Transcript/Index; Burials 1564-1900-NBI; Burials 1564-1901-SUI)

I have found a Samuel Damant Francis baptised at Mendlesham 13th July 1788 on the record search pilot from the LDS database which is the closest to Hepworth (parents not included )but on the IGI there are only 4 between 1783 and 1793 and they are all at Lowestoft.
