I have a note, I think originating on Rootsweb, (though they are not infalible) as follows:
"In the Stradbroke Parish Register, there is a family of Girling / Grenling: Father Robert, Mother Ann.
Children: *Ann 31 Mar 1688, *John 14 Aug 1689/90, *Frances 27 Apr 1692, *Robert 7 Feb 1694,
Robert 1 Apr 1697, *William 25 Jul 1699, +William 10 Oct 1701, Thomas 21 Dec 1704. "
"William and his two brothers, John and Robert, left Stradbroke sometime around 1720 to move to East Dereham, Norfolk....
William was married in East Dereham (Mary Goddard in 1723 ?) and died there in 1766".
* those asterisked are noted in the Bury St Edmunds Archives, Stradbroke Records.
The family mother may have been Ann Chase, but not sure.
+ William (1701) is in the Archives but as son of Abraham & Ann.
This may not be my direct line but, I think, a close mirror image branch as Robert Girling Baptised Apr 1697 above, is often confused with Robert Girling Baptised Sep 1698, also in Stradbroke son of Abraham Grenling (b.1645 ) & his second wife Ann Clark (b.abt 1677) my 6xgt Grandparents.
Most confusingly, I have +William - exact dates as above - as brother to "my" Robert
and I understand the Archives show this too.
I hope all this is of interest, and of some help.

Unfortunately I don't have information this far back but I am trying to trace my 3rd great-grandfather James Girling who was born in Stradbroke around 1796. He spent some time in the Birmingham area where he married his wife Millicent Tusting and they had their first child Alexander. They moved to South London in the late 1820s where they settled and brought up another 5 children (William, Jethro, Edgar, Thomas, frederick). At the time of the 1841 census James was a policeman in Southwark but later became a gardener.
Does anyone have access to the Stradbroke parish records?
Regards,
Chris
