Elizabeth, In the GRO records it would be noted as Male Unknown. Obviously there would be an attempt to find out who it was and a post mortem etc would be carried out and it would be buried but there would have been no more they could do back in those days Jan -----Original Message----- From: elizgh via Sent: Monday, January 18, 2016 3:37 PM To: norfolk@rootsweb.com Subject: [NFK] UNKNOWN BODY Hi, this is not Norfolk specific , but I wondered if anyone on the list would know , having a huge coastline and rivers and broads and fens, what would happen in 1920 to a dead body discovered drowned or in the street just died of hypothermia ?

He married ELIZABETH NICHOLLS1 20 February 1810 in Hales, Norfolk, England2,3, daughter of WILLIAM NICHOLS and ANN FISHER. She was born 15 January 1790 in Hales, Norfolk, England4, and died Bef. 1851. Children of THOMAS BLAKE and ELIZABETH NICHOLLS are: i. WILLIAM NICHOLLS4 BLAKE5, b. 12 January 1811, Bergh Apton Norwich England6; d. Abt. 1843, At sea; m. ANN COLE, September 1841, Poplar, London, Middlesex, UK; b. 17 June 1821, Poplar, London; d. 2 August 1902, 2 Hind Street, Poplar, Middlesex. ii. THOMAS HASE BLAKE, b. 28 May 1812, Bergh Apton (nr Norwich) UK7; d. 21 January 1896, Castlemaine, Victoria8; m. MARY PARFITT, 24 April 1848, Hobart Tasmania9; b.

October 1817, Loddon Norfolk Enhland. Dear List, I have not contributed to this list for some time but I read all your excellent posts. Can anyone assist me with a problem.   Thomas Hase Blake, well research convict transported to Australia. (see attached). His convict records give his parents as Thomas and Elizabeth, brothers as William and George – all well so far.  He then names sisters Elizabeth and Matilda whom I have been unable to locate.    He does not name the sisters Jane, Ann and Sarah shown as deceased on the attached report, but they died well before he was transported.   Any help most appreciated in locating the missing sisters.   Also, I am not positive I have the death records for George.  Sharon in Sydney

Many thanks for your suggestion Mike, I had forgotten that particular resource. I still can't find Samuel EGLINGTON but think I have found his wife Sarah HUMPHRY who was christened with the name Elizabeth at St Julian Norwich in 1708. Step by step we get there!

Hello everyone, I am trying to track the EGLINGTON family in the Bawdeswell register beginning in 1557. I have not been able to find any transcription but perhaps a lister can point me in the right direction. I have a photocopy from 20 years ago but have made little progress as they are devilishly hard to decipher. My interest arises because a Samuel Eglington (abt 1700 to 1783) and Sarah Humfrey (1708 to 1789) were my 5th great-grandparents. Both died in neighbouring Kerdiston but I have not been able to find any documentation for the birth and parents of either of them. Bawdeswell seems a good possibility as there were many Eglingtons there until about 1700 and at one stage Samuel operated a mill in Bawdeswell. Many thanks for any help, John Le Mesurier, Canberra

Firstly the parish register itself is on the images on www.familysearch.org for Yarmouth St. Nicholas (entry no. 554 of burial register 1895-1899. I believe it is not indexed on familysearch so you will need to go direct to browsing images (image 37 of 158). The information given (including date) is true, but additionally the residence is given as King Street. (It is however indexed in Freereg). Note that all the references her are to the original parish registers. According to the Norfolk Record Office List the ATs and BTs do apparently go up to 1907 for baptisms and burials - the marriages stop in 1837. I agree the suggestion by Nivard in relation to the 1880 act is the most likely, particularly as the information is given instead of the information "By whom the Ceremony was performed". It would be worth searching the burial registers of the non-conformist churches and chapels to see if a record was entered by the person performing the ceremony. The other possibility is that this is some reference to the certificate from the registrar required by the 1874 act before a burial could occur, but in that case would not have expected this wording, and I would have expected it to occur more often in the register. regards Keith Drage Swindon UK On 04/01/2016 12:49, Nivard Ovington via wrote: > Hi Elizabeth > > There were various acts to do with burial over the years > > A very useful site for Acts relevant to the genealogist is Guy Etchells > > <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~framland/acts/actind.htm> > > The Act I think is relevant to your case is the 1880 Act > > <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~framland/acts/1881burialAct.htm> > > I note the burial records the note re the act in the space where the > incumbent would normally have their name > > > > Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) > > On 04/01/2016 11:13, Elizabeth Macilwain via wrote: >> can someone help with why in the following entry >> >> England, Norfolk Bishop's Transcripts >> >> Name Thomas Drane Doughty >> >> Event Type Burial >> >> Event Date 01 Dec 1896 >> >> Event Place Great Yarmouth, Norwich, Norfolk, England >> >> Gender Male >> >> Age 66 >> >> Birth Year (Estimated) 1830 >> >> Certified according to Act of Parliament by Mary Ann Eliza Doughty >> >> Why was his burial certified by his wife in an Act of Parliament >> >> Thanks Elizabeth > --- > This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. > https://www.avast.com/antivirus > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to NORFOLK-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

Hi Elizabeth There were various acts to do with burial over the years A very useful site for Acts relevant to the genealogist is Guy Etchells <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~framland/acts/actind.htm> The Act I think is relevant to your case is the 1880 Act <http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~framland/acts/1881burialAct.htm> I note the burial records the note re the act in the space where the incumbent would normally have their name Nivard Ovington in Cornwall (UK) On 04/01/2016 11:13, Elizabeth Macilwain via wrote: > can someone help with why in the following entry > > England, Norfolk Bishop's Transcripts > > Name Thomas Drane Doughty > > Event Type Burial > > Event Date 01 Dec 1896 > > Event Place Great Yarmouth, Norwich, Norfolk, England > > Gender Male > > Age 66 > > Birth Year (Estimated) 1830 > > Certified according to Act of Parliament by Mary Ann Eliza Doughty > > Why was his burial certified by his wife in an Act of Parliament > > Thanks Elizabeth --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Hi, I have just been onto genuki Norfolk and cannot find out how to contact either Pat Newby or Mike Bristow to give them my transcripts of the 1810 and 1820 Land Tax Assessments for Downham to go with the 1791 LTA which is already on the Downham pages. I am pleased to see that after a long break this useful site is undergoing something of a renaissance . Can anyone point me in the right direction please. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus

Are you sure of the date ? (seems a bit late for Bishops transcripts). The only act I know relating to burial was the burial in woollen act in the late 1600s, and early 1700s. It was to support the woollen trade.

Hi David, If you look on the subscription page, it shows you the coverage of the new records so it's worth a look to see if there are additions outside familysearch.

Just thought I would pass this on. If you are tracing the Apps Family of Cromer there is a Bible in a Pop up Antiques shop in Ipswich Jan

Seeking any connections/information regarding the Thompson family of Norwich, Norfolk. Earliest Thompson I can find thus far is Thomas Thompson, who was born around 1799/1800 or so in Norwich. Unclear of his origins and parentage at this stage. Thomas married Elizabeth Livock in St. Edmund, Norwich on 5 April 1821. Thomas was a saddle maker/saddler by profession. It appears Thomas and Elizabeth were at one point living in Heigham and also living in All Saints, Norwich. Thomas and Elizabeth's children include Frederick Henry Thompson (my ancestor), who was baptised July 1821 in St. Savour's, Norwich. Frederick Henry Thompson married Jane Rosetta Browne, in 1841 in Norwich. Their children included Thomas Henry Thompson (my ancestor) - born 1856/57 approx in Lynn, Norfolk. He married Florence Nightingale Rigby in 1877 in Norwich. Of their children, my ancestor, Thomas Arthur Thompson was born in 1877 in Norwich. He maried Ellen Broome in 1898 in Norwich.
