I have a Mary MURKEN of Ashen Essex who married a John TWEED of Stoke Suffolk and
they were married in Wickhambrook Suffolk 22 Mar 1753. Possible parents for Mary
is John Murken of Barnardiston and Mary Ives. Mary was born around 1721/1725 and
died possibly 1797. They had 6 children born in Stoke by Clare, one child John
who changed his last name to PYKE because of an inheritance from a John PYKE.
