Hi, FreeReg has the bapts of St M at O from 1764 - 1901 , marriages 1754-1840 , burials 1764-1856. . There is a George Green bapt at St Stephens , in 1785 son of John and Elizabeth , nee Smith, no occupation given. There are various other George Greens bapt in the 1790 +- 5 yrs period in Norfolk , but the problem is which if any is he ? There is a Removal order of Mary Green, 15, dau of George Green, vagrant, from Norwich St John Timberhill to Mundham in 1764 ....... The Norfolk pubs website has George Green as licensee from 1815 - 1833 , and Rebecca widow from 1833-1839 They were followed in 1840 by William Gathercole.. and " In his will of 1833 Robert King bequeathed the Cock Inn , a corn mill and other properties to his son in law John Batterbee". . so perhaps the Greens never owned it but simply tenanted it. FreeReg for Methwold has George and Rebecca`s 4 children including Elizabeth Lambert Green in 1820 and the bapt record shows Rebecca`s maiden name was Lambert and that he is a publican ..... In 1861 Rebecca, widow, aged 72, is a draper , born Feltwell, living in Upper Westwick St , St Margaret , Norwich., with unmarried daus Elizabeth, 37 and Ann, 33, and a 5 yr old granddaughter Elizabeth , all b Methwold.. 20 years earlier they are in Hythe St Methwold , and Rebecca is 50, and with her is Ann, 15, Martha, 10?, Daniel , 25 , millwright, and John 15, millwright . Not sure this has been of any help to you finding George Green`s ancestors.... life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: "Wendy Inskeep" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 24, 2014 10:30 PM Subject: [NFK] George GREEN > George Green and Rebecca Lambert were married in her parish by licence on > December 28 1812 at St Nicholas Church, Feltwell where they both signed > their names. > > At the time George and Rebecca married, George was living in the St Martin > at Oak parish in Norwich and they were still living in Norwich when their > son Daniel was christened at St Augustine on January 16, 1814. > > However I have noted down that George was from a large family !!

George Green and Rebecca Lambert were married in her parish by licence on December 28 1812 at St Nicholas Church, Feltwell where they both signed their names. At the time George and Rebecca married, George was living in the St Martin at Oak parish in Norwich and they were still living in Norwich when their son Daniel was christened at St Augustine on January 16, 1814. However I have noted down that George was from a large family !! Why I don't know as I do not have any information to support this statement! Does this George happen to be on anyone else's tree? George was a millwright at first and then he eventually became the proprietor of the "Cock" in Methwold (1830-31) They had more children in Methwold. He died 1833.

With all the 'talk' of the Norfolk accent recently this came to mind. An item in Woman's Hour featured girls and teachers from Springwood High School in Lynn. Not one Norfolk voice in the piece. RP is steadily fazing out local accents. Bob

Wendy - take a look at Free Reg and there are two "suitable" George GREENs born in Norwich. Put in dates 1785 +/- 10 years as that is about the time someone who married in 1812 would have been born. The names of George's children could be a clue as to who his parents were. You could then check for other children were from which ever parents you choose and find out if there was a large family.

When my Grandmother started in Service at the home of a brewer, she was told that the servants had beer to drink. In the past, small beer was a cheap alternative to water and, often much better for you! By the way, my Grandmother decided against staying there as she didn't like beer!

Have you tried approaching the local registrar of B M & Ds. I have always found Norfolk registrars very helpful and if you were to tell them what you know Born 1790.

Jane, I presume from your signature and the post-em on FreeBMD that you're looking for Elizabeth Blake Are you sure that she did die between 1841 and 1851? Have you checked that she's not alive and well on either the 1861 or 1871 census? Have you checked that she didn't remarry? You could check the burial registers for places in the Loddon registration district. http://www.ukbmd.org.uk/genuki/reg/districts/loddon.html I don't know how many of them are online at Familysearch. Scroll down to 'view images' and then click the 'browse through' link.

Jane Kelly There may not be a registration. Things took several years to become even mostly complete. There was no sanction for not registering a death, the registrar could have recorded it with the wrong misheard name (- the Norfolk accent defeated many a person educated elsewhere!), and sometimes a page or records could be lost between the counties and London where they were all collated. (I have an infant burial as late as 1870, but there is no corresponding birth record!) Have you checked all possible spellings and misspellings of the surname and forename? There ought to have been a burial somewhere, whether parish, private or town. If all else fails, you could find the death by this means.

If the death occurred after 01 July 1837, then there certainly should be a death certificate. Why not put the full name of the person you are searching for on this list so that others may be able to help. Instead of buying death certificates, you could try searching for a burial - the National Burial Index may be of help although it is by no means a complete record of all burials in England and Wales.

Worth also remembering that spellings were very variable at that time (late 1600s often the worst handwriting so transcripts can be less reliable), and people often married in churches quite a way from where they both lived.
