Giffee (Burton) GRIMWOOD or GRIMWADE

I am looking for two things about this woman:
1) Date and location of her marriage to Samuel GRIMWOOD or GRIMWADE, who
was born in 1753, son of John and Alice GRIMWADE of Bildeston. They
lived in Bildeston, Suffolk, and I have microfiche copies of the parish
registers. Unless I have missed it, Samuel and Giffee did not marry in
Bildeston. Their first child Charles GRIMWOOD was born in 1783, when
Samuel was 30 years old. By this time, the marriage registers are easy
to search. Does this marriage appear in any else's family?

2) What kind of a name is Giffee (sometimes spelled Giffey or Giffa)???
They named a daughter Giffey (b. Bildeston 1786) so they at least did
not think that it was a nick name.
