Probably Pixey Green which is on the road to Fressingfield. Let us have your Pipe family details-names dates etc and we will see what we have in the Village Archive

Thank you Mike, I wondered about this but the 1841 enumerators 'route' clearly read Piscor. I now realise the the sc are x so Pixey is probably right.
Richard Pipe (1789-1865) married Elizabeth Chilvers. I believe Richards was illegitimate son of Elizabeth.
Their son George Pipe (1836-c1901) married Sarah Bridges and had 14 children, 12 of them in Stradbroke (Barlow Green, and Barnt House) before moving to Sunderland, DUR. in 1871.
Their daughter Alice stayed behind as a 12 yr old servant at The Abbey, Hoxne. (1871 census) as did most of Georges siblings.
Is this enough info. I have some photos of George and Sarah, Dorothy
I assume you mean Sarah who married George Pipe, but I also have 3 other Sarah Bridges. do you want to contact me off line through my Brewis web site and we can exchange info, or is there a specific bit of info you would like?
I am very interested in this posting of the Pipe family. I have a 1940 BSA motorcycle, a very rare beast, that I bought in Norwich about thirty years ago with no paperwork or history. I only now have the time to ronovate it and I discovered three receipts from 1960 from Stradbroke Garage to a Mr M Pipe for petrol, oil etc. One, for Esso petrol, stated 'Pay Saturday' so M Pipe must have been a regular who probably passed Stradbroke Garage on his way to work each day. Does anyone remember an M Pipe riding a tatty old 350 side valve BSA motorcycle in 1960, - perhaps a father or uncle? The bike was originally registered in East Sussex on 1st March 1940 and I wondered how it got to Stradbroke, and then Norwich, at a time when people didn't stray far from their home town or village.
