Northwold-Nfk Mary Ann BRUNTON Wife Mar age 27 F b. Methwold-Nfk Mary Ann BRUNTON Dau S age 5 F b. Northwold-Nfk Edward BRUNTON Son S age 8 M b. Northwold-Nfk Payne BRUNTON Fath Widr age 58 M Agricultural Labr b. Northwold-Nfk William BRUNTON Bro Un age 23 M Journeyman Miller b. Northwold-Nfk Address: Northwold Street, THETFORD Census Place: Northwold THETFORD, Norfolk PRO Reference: HO/107/1832 Folio: 63 Page: 35 FHL Film: 0207487 ......................... The mother Mary Ann was nee WALKER. The daughter Mary Ann married James ALEXANDER in Kensington, London, 1868 while both working in service (he a butler/gardener, her a lady's maid). Robert BRUNTON was son of Payne, who in turn was son of John. My research comes from a reliable source, but I haven't double checked it all, especially that prior to the 1837 registration. This BRUNTON family went on to have many more children, but only the daughters survived to adulthood; thus ends this BRUNTON line. Hope this helps! Good luck. Send me an email and I'll put you in touch with my "cousin" who has researched this family name more extensively. Jill :c) Vancouver CANADA [email protected]
