Re: Parish named Middleshaw, Suffolk ?

Does anyone know of a plausible parish in Suffolk called something that might look like "Middleshaw" when badly written in a register?

I know I am looking for a needle in a haystack. John Brown b:1802 allegedly in Middleshaw, Suffolk if his marriage certificate in East Walton Norfolk is to be believed. Census data just says "out of county". IGI gives a few John Browns and I will look them up but they seem to be too far away from the Norfolk border to be plausible suitors.

I can't find anything that even vaguely matches this parish name, and the big families of Browns seem to be on the far side of the county at Glensford & Cavendish. They don't seem likely candidates at all.

Thanks for any enlightenment.

Martin Brown
