Ruffles of Suffolk
Our family starts with:
-
John Ruffles,
born 1792
(according to age given at death)
or 1794
(according to age given in 1851 and 1861 census)
or 1796
(1841 census),
born
Shotley, Suffolk
(see map),
married pre-1828 to Susannah Sandle [sister of James Sandle].
John Ruffles above is probably identical with John Ruffles below.
(The two Sandle siblings
probably married
two Ruffles siblings.)
There is a DNA match between descendants of the two marriages. Note this could happen even if there are two different Johns.
