Hi All Having not used the Family Search website for some considerable time (about 2 years), does anyone have the link to the Norfolk parish registers that they hold, as I wish to browse through them. I can’t find them on their new website!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Many thanks Mike Wilkinson

Ha, Hilarious. My mother and my grandmother always tried to speak correctly, the accent was there but they did not often slip into dialect. However I spent a lot of time with the uncles and grandfathers...

Although I spent most of my childhood in Norfolk and my later teens I don't think I ever gained an accent except in the playground at times. My father's family were Yarmouth but he grew up in Birmingham, my mother's family were Cheshire/ Lancs with Italian roots grew up in Ilford.... so home influence (including radio four) was very RP....I heard Norfolk spoke on the farms and in church as well as at school.. Scene: A classroom a couple of weeks before the Christmas play sometime in the early 1950s: Teacher," Now, The first Shepherd will be David." Voice from back of class, "Please miss, he can't do that. He talk proper." Teacher," Yes but he has the loudest voice." This tale was told me by my mother... we lived at Aylmerton at the time. I believe that the school is now a Field Study centre... well, whoever the wag was he (I bet it was a boy) he was right.... no-one who talked posh would ahve been a shepherd back then.

Hi, a Robert Bix is convicted of Larceny at the County Sessions at Walsingham on 10th Jan 1840 he was aged 41. There are some transcripts of Binham PRs online see genuki/norfolk/binham and a Thomas and Ann are baptising children from 1785 onward but with BTs not every year is included and there is no Robert. NROCAT has a removal order of a Mary Bix pregnant singlewoman from Binham to Lt Walsingham in 1809 and a will of Henry Bix of Morton of 1785.... Binham has bapts 1702-1749 , 1766-1805 , marriages 1702-1837, and burials 1702-1749 , 1782-1805 These are transcripts in the Norfolk FHS library. life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lee Trevor Henderson" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, March 10, 2014 9:19 PM Subject: [NFK] Robert Bix from Binham > Good Evening, > > Could anyone possible do me a look up in The Baptisms at Binham for: > > Robert Bix > Son of Thomas Bix and Ann Barrett > Born abt 1797 > > I have tried to locate it my self on line with no such look > > Thanks > Regards > > Lee > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to > [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the > quotes in the subject and the body of the message >

Yup. Not a bad article .Despite the best attempts of Lynn High School to knock it out of us, I suppose I still think in Norfolk and have to deliberately use RP when talking to non Norfolk people. Mine is the Mid Norfolk rural dialect of my early childhood, I have lost the long ai in rain ( my daughter is sniggering over my shoulder) , never had arst for asked nor fillum nor the w for v although I do remember an old boy, a friend of my grandmother's who said wittles when it was his meal time. The dialect phrases- some are familiar, some may be local to Keith Skipper's patch around Beeston and nowadays of course some of the things they refer to has disappeared anyway. The EDP sometimes carries patronising little articles about the dialect and quotes some of the most common phrases but I reckon you can tell a Norfolk speaker by the way they use that and do and if they go to B & Coo. I don't find the use of that for it to be at all confined to the Flegg area, but when I first moved to Yarmouth several decades ago I thought their Norfolk was very slow and singy. Lynn Norfolk can be rather coarse. As David will know, from being on a bus full of mid Norfolk ladies going home from shopping in Dereham years ago, the sound was like the soft mutter of contented hens on a perch. My daughter reckons the noise level in our local supermarkets is much lower than that in the ones in the northern city where she was at uni. I think real Norfolk men seem to have a higher pitch in general to their voices than Northerners. When I had Oz rellies over they thought we sounded like Southern state Americans.

Go to Search > Records and then scroll down the page. At the bottom of the page click on United Kingdom and Ireland. Then type Norfolk in the "Filter by Collection Name" and you'll see the list of Norfolk Collections. The Parish Registers are the last one on the list (after the AT's and BT's etc). Click on that, DON'T use the search boxes, scroll down to Browse the collection and there are all the images. You can use this technique to find anything in their collections. Giving you the link won't help you navigate the site.

Interesting. Have lived in Canada now for 35 years or so and when I go back to Norfolk my initial reaction is to notice the accent. This fades after a few days however. I still retain more than a trace of my Norfolk accent however. It is interesting to be accused of having an accent by somebody speaking in a Southern US fashion (Y'all etc) and being asked if it is Australian! ( On second thoughts , do I qualify? I was born in Belton ,then Suffolk!) I've recently returned from Florida where my wife and I met up with an old school friend of her's from Caister on Sea who has lived in Boston Mass for 50 years and the accent is still there. (perhaps understandably since many of the Pilgrim Fathers came from East Anglia). They , the US, have troubles with accents other than their own, Spender, the Geordie crime series, was shown over here with sub titles! Dave On 11/03/2014 8:41 AM, [email protected] wrote: > Yup.

Hello Fiona, I didn't know whether I can reply to you direct or via Norfolk mailing list. I'm so lucky you are local and was actually in March recently. I would love anything on Stanger or Smith in that area. The Hannah Stanger you mention is mine. I believe she died in a place called Oak Tree House . West End March. I wrote to the March Museum but never heard back. I think this large house is now flats but it was built by Joseph Smith of Acre Mill This was the Joseph Smith b.1740 d.1802 Tydd St Giles , son of John Smith and Martha Franks. His grandson Joseph Elliott Johnson Smith lived here much of his life. He also died here in Oak Tree House 1934. So I would love anything you can find for me,. even photos. Also let me know if there's anything you are particularly searching for.
