Re: Edward SPALDING & Margaret, Braintree MA

Source is examination of [films of] the original Alburgh, Redenhall, and Dickleburgh registers.Alburgh and Dickleburgh are available from LDS; Redenhall is on film at the Norfolk Record Office.

I think these are the ones who came to Braintree for several reasons.First, the names and dates of wife and children seem to match up perfectly, as does disappearance from England and appearance in America.Second, this was an area from which a lot of New England settlers came.Third, while the name Edward was pretty common in the Spaldings, the other names also seem to match up with this brach (Dinah in particular, also Andrew).

Of course, there is no proof, only circumstantial evidence.
