Probably related a long way back, if at all, being one of those names which come from a place. Branches of the Houghton/ Earls of Orford Walpoles also have Itteringham and Mannington Halls at present. Don't forget the Horatio/Horace could just as easily be because of Nelson. I have met Mr R. Walpole of R W Walpole soft fruit growers of Walpole, there seems to be quite a few families in the area who have the name.

Hi I'm currently researching around the Norwich area? I'm interested in connecting with anyone researching the same families/surnames. John Prior (B circa 1755) married Lydia (surname?) around 1773 John Custance (b1765) married Lydia Prior (b1774) in 1794 Timothy Townshend (B circa 1775) married Elizabeth Rant (b1773 Heigham) in 1795 Jonathan Custance (b1805 Heigham) married Mary Townshend (b1803, Heigham) in ? Elizabeth Ellinor Custance (b1828 Heigham) married William Livock Storey (b1822 Norwich) in 1846 (they moved to Newmarket before returning to St Paul s, Norwich). John Custance Storey (b1855 Norwich) married Charlotte Ann Howman (b1848 Lakenham) in 1878 I have a lot more info in the tree, these are just my direct line going back to 5 times great grandparents. If these are in your family tree then please get in touch. I know the Custances are a notable family from the area. I'm not after lookups and I ve access to most records including freereg, LDS etc Regards David

Hi Elizabeth I don't have access to census other than NFK 1851 onwards so was unable to find the 1841 Robert which you did. I had the 1851 entry only. The bap in 1828 was a response to Janice's original mail which where she writes:- "I* am hoping a Lister may have details of John Thomas WALPOLE'S grandfather Robert WALPOLE'S parents. Robert was born circa 1829 in Walpole, Norfolk." * as it seemed to fit well. Being FSearch it will obviously have to be checked with original registers. I wonder where Janice's info came from.

Hi, no worries , it is easily done as you say , and the enumerator is to blame but just in case we all went off on a search for an earlier marriage for Robert, he would , if the age of the 16year old been right , only 16 years old himself and even for the fens this is an unlikely early age for marriage !!! And I wonder if this 1828 Robert son of Mary is the 12 year old in the 1841 living at West Walton Smeeth . The 1841 Robert son of Robert and Mary aged 4 seems much closer to the 1861 Robert aged 32 . Prime Minister Robert Walpole was born in 1676 at Houghton Hall , and was the third of 17 children , 8 of whom died in infancy . Wikipedia has Robert as the only surviving son . PM Walpole married Catherine Shorter in 1700 and had 2 daus and 4 sons the 2nd Earl Robert had one son and it would seem that that son died without issue because Horace PMWalpole`s 4th son became the 4th Earl of Orford . Whilst this is Wikipedia it seems that any connection would be either illegitmate or earlier than PM Walpole , ie his father Robert and back . life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean Greenwood" <jeangreenwood@virginmedia.com> To: <norfolk@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, December 03, 2011 1:30 PM Subject: Re: [NFK] WALPOLES OF NORFOLK > The births for the later children are on FreeBMD and are > Henry 1855 K Lynn > John 1857 Wisbeach > Robert 1860 Wisbeach > so Rosie correct in thinking enumerator's check misleading. > > Incidentally Family Search has a baptism in Walpole St Peter for > Robert Walpole on 27 Jan 1828 mother Mary - no father given. > > HTH > > Jean > > > > > On 3 December 2011 13:16, elizabeth howard <elizgh@btinternet.com> wrote: > >> And just seen Rosie`s email , I wondered that , but the >> image >> seems to show that the black line alongside the ages of Henry , John and >> Robert show where the enumerator has ticked them off , checked them , >> rather than being a line indicating the age They seem different pen >> strokes from the age . ???? >> >> >> >> life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Janice Doughty" <adoughty01@optusnet.com.au> >> To: <NORFOLK@rootsweb.com> >> Sent: Saturday, December 03, 2011 12:36 AM >> Subject: [NFK] WALPOLES OF NORFOLK >> >> >> > Good morning Listers, >> > >> > I have joined the List hoping SKS can take me back further than the >> > marriage of Robert WALPOLE to Mary Ann ???? circa 1850 to 1853 (Robert >> > could have married either Mary Ann Parnell, Young or Holmes.

The births for the later children are on FreeBMD and are Henry 1855 K Lynn John 1857 Wisbeach Robert 1860 Wisbeach so Rosie correct in thinking enumerator's check misleading. Incidentally Family Search has a baptism in Walpole St Peter for Robert Walpole on 27 Jan 1828 mother Mary - no father given.

Hi again , forgot to say there are two bapts in Freereg of a William Walpole in 1832, West Walton son of Robert and Mary , labourer, and a Robert Walpole in West Walton in Oct 1834 same parents . There is also a Sarah Walpole bapt Tilney St Lawrence dau of Susannah no father mentioned, in 1830 . And just seen Rosie`s email , I wondered that , but the image seems to show that the black line alongside the ages of Henry , John and Robert show where the enumerator has ticked them off , checked them , rather than being a line indicating the age They seem different pen strokes from the age . ???? life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janice Doughty" <adoughty01@optusnet.com.au> To: <NORFOLK@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, December 03, 2011 12:36 AM Subject: [NFK] WALPOLES OF NORFOLK > Good morning Listers, > > I have joined the List hoping SKS can take me back further than the > marriage of Robert WALPOLE to Mary Ann ???? circa 1850 to 1853 (Robert > could have married either Mary Ann Parnell, Young or Holmes.

WALPOLES OF NORFOLK (Janice Doughty) Hello Janice,   Just in case you havent found this before - the 1861 census Wisbech area has the following family, which must be them.   It should help trace their baptisms and possibly the marriage   Robert Walpole 32 Shepherd born Walpole Norfolk Mary his wife 28 born Salhouse Frances - daughter - 8 born Salhouse Henry  - son 16 born Lynn John - son - 14 born St Johns, Norfolk Robert - son - 12 born St Johns Norfolk Also two others - occupations "shepherd servant" - in the house   Looks like perhaps Robert was married before his marriage to Mary Ann and had the three sons by a previous wife?   Good luck - Rosie -

Hello Janice It would seem to me that the most likely marriage in the time frame is between Robert and Mary Ann HOLMES 1852 December quarter Loddon 4b 555. Regards Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "Janice Doughty" <adoughty01@optusnet.com.au> To: <NORFOLK@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, December 03, 2011 12:36 AM Subject: [NFK] WALPOLES OF NORFOLK Good morning Listers, I have joined the List hoping SKS can take me back further than the marriage of Robert WALPOLE to Mary Ann ???? circa 1850 to 1853 (Robert could have married either Mary Ann Parnell, Young or Holmes. I would also like to find which one is Mary Ann who married Robert WALPOLE. Robert and Mary Ann's first child a daughter Frances, was baptised on 23rd July 1853 in Saltbush, baptised by Rev. J G Girdlestone. It is Robert and Mary Ann's son John, born circa 1858, whose line I a researching. I am helping my niece by marriage to trace her WALPOLE family. Her grandmother was Hazel Mirabel WALPOLE born 8th February 1914 in Roma, Queensland, Aus. Hazel's father was John Thomas WARPOLE, who arrived in Brisbane, Qld 13th February 1900 aged 19 per "Duke of Portand". He married on 28th November 1907, Eva Victoria Beatrice Miscamble in Roma, Qld. John Thomas WALPOLE was the son of John WALPOLE and Mary Ann GALL. They were married in the June Quarter of 1877. John Thomas WALPOLE was born in the Sept Quarter of 1880, his birth was registered in Wisbeach. His mother Mary Ann died at the age of 33 in the June Quarter of 1891 and his father John married his second wife Lilian Lemon in the March Quarter of 1892 in Wisbech. John Thomas WALPOLE died in 1951 and is buried in the Roma General Cemetery in Qld. Some of John Thomas WALPOLE's brothers may have also immigrated to Australia. One name which appears in the Queensland BMD historical records is Horace WALPOLE and one of John Thomas' younger brothers was Arthur Horace WALPOLE. The family story is that they can trace their line back to Sir Robert WALPOLE, the Prime Minister of Great Britain. I am hoping a Lister may have details of John Thomas WALPOLE'S grandfather Robert WALPOLE'S parents. Robert was born circa 1829 in Walpole, Norfolk. Robert's son John names one of his sons Horace and one of Sir Robert WALPOLE'S sons was named Horace, so one would assume that the name is being carried through by the family. My husband's DOUGHTYS also hail from Norfolk, in Ryburg, Towngreen, Wymondham and Terrington St. Clements. Thank you. Cheers Janice Belrose - Sydney

G'day Janice & Listers ! You mention possible links to Sir Robert WALPOLE the Prime Minister of Britain and also some Horace WALPOLEs - if you put "Horace WALPOLE" into Google and just search for British hits at http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&source=hp&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=% 22Horace+Walpole%22&btnG=Google+Search&meta=cr%3DcountryUK% 7CcountryGB&gbv=1 you will get 183,000 hits and find that the famous author Horace WALPOLE (1717 - 1797) who built the beautiful 'Gothic' house at Strawberry Hill near Twickenham (now S.W. London) was the 4th son of that Prime Minister. The hits also include pictures of him. The house became part of a famous Catholic Teacher Training College (which I attended 1963 - 1966) and is now part of a University College. I hope this helps ! Good Hunting !

Well done you !!! it is a marathon no question of that .......I have chickened out and am doing Downham Union workhouse B of G minutes in summary . But I think you will find post 1840 it is more humdrum run of the mill daily /weekly stuff and much less frantic than the years of the building and setting up the Union house . It is however addictively interesting stuff and I am sure there will be a lot of people with ancestors from Sheringham and Erpingham who will be grateful to you for your dedication . life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: "Bill Atkins" <bill.atkins@ntlworld.com> To: <NORFOLK@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 30, 2011 1:01 PM Subject: [NFK] Sheringham Workhouse Inmates, October 1841 >I came across the item below on a loose sheet of paper in the Minutes book > of the Erpingham Union Poor Law Guardians when working on what's turning > out > to be a marathon transcription of the said Minutes.

I would like to say a huge thanks to every single person who has contributed to the project (and are continuing to help with 1871 and 1891). Please remember that spelling was not standard in 1861 so you may need to be a little imaginative with some of your searches. We have to provide a transcript of what the enumerator wrote not what we think he meant. If you find any transcription errors please let me know as it is quite easy to update the files on our database. Please be aware that if it was an enumerator error then I can not update the transcription but I may be able to leave a note on the record. Hope this helps you in your research.

The FINAL piece has been uploaded to the on line database which means that the whole of the 1861 census for Norfolk is now searchable for free on the main Freecen site at http://www.freecen.org.uk Many thanks to John Seakins, Brian Ayres, for help with completing the final piece without their help this information would not be available. I would like to say a huge thanks to every single person who has contributed to the project (and are continuing to help with 1871 and 1891). Please remember that spelling was not standard in 1861 so you may need to be a little imaginative with some of your searches. We have to provide a transcript of what the enumerator wrote not what we think he meant. If you find any transcription errors please let me know as it is quite easy to update the files on our database. Please be aware that if it was an enumerator error then I can not update the transcription but I may be able to leave a note on the record. Hope this helps you in your research.
