Susan Riches was born circa 1694 in Norwich, Norfolk, England, United Kingdom and died 1762 Norwich, Norfolk, England, United Kingdom of unspecified causes. She married Henry Helsdon (c1700-1750) 13 May 1725 in Norwich, Norfolk, England, United Kingdom.
Susan Riches was born, most likely in the mid 1690s or early 1700s.
Having done a study of Susan Riches baptisms in Norfolk 1690-1710 the 1694 Susan, at first, born to Isaac and Elizabeth seemed very likely the same Susan who wed Henry Helsdon in 1725. Isaac later moved to the area of Norwich that Susan Riches wed Henry Helsdon. Isaac died in 1751 and appeared to not have left a will. He was a weaver like Henry Helsdon. Henry's first wife died in 1722.
HOWEVER: A Susan Riches wed Charles Brandon in 1744 at All Saints in Norwich and he left a will in 1756 mentioning her later father Isaac Riches, weaver of Timberhill.
So therefore, the origins of my ancestor Susan Riches who wed Henry Helsdon in 1725 are as yet unknown. A number of Susan Riches baptisms 1690-1708 have been investigated and all (but one, born 1691) have been eliminated due to dying in infancy or marrying another spouse such as the 1705 born Susan Riches of Old Buckenham who wed there in 1725. The Susan Riches born 1702 in Pockthorpe, Norwich, died as a spinster in 1761 aged 59. Of course my Susan could have been NC or there are some record missing. A Susan Riches was born 1691 in Norwich, daughter of James and Deborah.
Dennis as a forename for one of Susan and Henry's children could be a family surname on Henry or Susan's side.
