The 1616 marriage place of Joseph Downing and Jane Rose has not been found. The license for their nuptials states that he was of Ipswich, single, that she was of Akenham, single, and that they planned to wed at Claydon. Claydon registers do not have the entry, nor has it been found at Akenham or elsewhere. Only the license appears in Boyd's Suffolk Marriage Index. … Joseph and Jane could have had more children after their move (to Layer Marney, Essex), their four known ones having been in Ipswich … The Layer Marney parish registers are extant only after 1742.
