Denny

The Denny line runs through Suffolk and into Norfolk, traced from John Denny of Howe in the early seventeenth century to the early twentieth century. The line is patrilineal — son to father — through eleven generations of Suffolk parish records. Wives appear with each generation; their own ancestral lines, where traced, are documented separately.
