TWEEDS of SUFFOLK, ENGLAND.
I am 5 years into the Tweeds from Birch, Essex = Stoke-by-Clare in Suffolk, though I have found many, still so many to find looking for info on the old and the ' new born ' so any new contacts welcome.

Hi Clif,
I have a Tweed in my tree... Susanna ; born 1779 in Cheveley, Cambs. She married John Bye (from Cowlinge in Suffolk) on 12 Nov 1800 (also in Cheveley) they then lived, it seems, in Cowlinge as they had a daughter there (my ggggm) Elizabeth Bye.
If this means anything to you, I'd be delighted.
Best Roger

Re: TWEEDS of SUFFOLK, ENGLAND.
Unfortunately not . There are at least 2 very distinct branches of the Tweeds, in Suffolk. My lot from 1500ish, Birch , Essex = Stoke-by-Clare, Suffolk and then beyond....known as the ' Suffolk Tweeds ' ( or the Rich ones - at one time ) . Then there are whats known as the ' Cambridge Tweeds' , from Cheveley, Newmarket ect areas. Researchers over 25 years tell me no link between the two has yet been found. It appears to me that before Birch in Essex and those in Cambridge....looking at early Wiils, there seems to be Twidds..Tyddes in Norfolk.....which will be investigated in about 10 years time !!. I have noted that quite a few Tweeds from the Cambridge area seem to have also settled in Kent...but not fully investigated them there yet.
There is a small Cambridge Tweed Tree on the web - under The Edwards Family Tree which might be of interest to you and many Cambridge Tweed Trees on the free website GenCircles.

Hi Roger, I have a Tweed in my tree and yes Sussanah did marry John Bye. This makes them my 4 x great grand parents. They had a son called John Bye born 10th Feb 1812, baptised 1st March 1812, and he married Elizabeth Claydon 1st March 1833 @ Cowlinge. John & Elizabeth had 12 children one of which was called Hophni Bye he married Jane Alma Beldon they are my 3 x great grand parents. I hope this is of interest to you. Regards Angela

Re: TWEEDS of SUFFOLK, ENGLAND.
I have quite a bit info regarding the Bye's, but I dont have anything for the Tweeds. The info I have starts with John Bye & Elizabeth Claydon but before that I dont have anything if you could fill me in before that, that would be great. Just let me know what you require and I will be glad to pass any info onto you. Do you have any old photos???

Re: TWEEDS of SUFFOLK, ENGLAND.
Good folks across the pond,
My Sarah Tweed (b 1757?) marries Mathew Bye (b 1757?), both perhaps of Cambridge, but their son, also Mathew Tweed (b 1789), is of Newmarket, St. Mary, Suffolk.
Are these related to the Tweeds I find in this thread?
I've done a good job with my own tree, but this, my husband's tree (mother British WWII bride) is challenging!
