Hi Elizabeth, I think Benjamin was born approx 1813, and James born approx 1818. I don't have any parent's names, but Benjamin had sons Benjamin and William, and James had sons George Benjamin and John. I have a partial? military record for a James Allen (who may or may not be the correct fellow), which indicates he was born 1817 - 1819 and indicates Roxham Norfolk, which I have taken to be either Wroxham (NE of Norwich), or Roxham near Ryston. I am attempting to check out births for both areas.

It doesn't appear that Benjamin and James belong to the family of William and Sarah. The information on John and his wife agrees with what I have with them coming to Victoria in the mid 1850's, although Elizabeth at Cambridge is a bit of a mystery, as Thomas would be too young to have had children, and Elizabeth still has the Allen surname (aged 10 in 1851). Perhaps I need to do some checking on the family she is living with in Cambridge.

Hello Rosemary, Donna and Bruce: Some years ago I found quite a few KETTERINGHAM/KITTERINGHAM people in one of the village parish registers I was working on and I copied them out and posted them on one of the mailing lists - think it was Norfolk. Have you gone to the archive to see if any of your names have been posted already? As soon as I can get upstairs - the way is barricaded at present - I'll look in my big binders for the postings. If I don't get back to you within the next month, please give me a 'heads up' Happy New Year - Carol northwestern Washington State On 12/29/11, Rosemary Jones <rjones5622@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi Donna (and Bruce, of course), > > I intersect with both the KETTERINGHAM and BAILEY families, although not > that recently. > > My grand aunt, Elizabeth REEDER, married Frederick KETTERINGHAM in the 3rd > Qtr of 1889, probably in Great Ellingham.

Hi, although it doesn`t get you to the birth place of James Parkes, he and Winifred Gill were married at Cockley Cley in Jan 1809 . The 1841 census is clear and the James and Winifred are clearly N and Y , so where James came from is going to be difficult to find. I have tried the BMD registers of Non conformists which includes Catholic records and can find nothing for a James Parkes b c 1754. I wonder if they were part of the Bedingfeld estate workers as they have the Chapel cottage which may be the lodge by the side gate close by the chapel ?

Hi, there is by chance perhaps a Jas Duncan , convicted in Norwich in 1830 and sentenced to 14 yrs , 7 yrs on each count of theft of a cloak and theft of carpenters tools, to Bermuda .......he is aged 24 in 1830. Of course that may not be him and it does not say where he was born ....but it may be and it would explain his absence . The 1851 census shows Elizabeth Priest , head, W, 82? , pauper, b Gimingham, with Charlotte Duncan, dau , W , 44 , nurse, b Gimingham, and Ezra Duncan, grandson, unm, 16, carter, b Trunch, and Charlotte , granddau, unm, 14 , scholar, b Trunch . So on the basis of the information on the census , self provided so not necessarily the gospel truth, she is a widow as is Charlotte . In the Gimingham records on IGI are a couple Thomas and Elizabeth Press having children around 1799 -- 1808 also Preist and Priest , and this could be your Elizabeth Priest or her family . life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: "Peter Hyde" <phyde67@bigpond.com> To: <norfolk@rootsweb.com> Sent: Friday, December 30, 2011 12:55 AM Subject: [NFK] PRIEST & DUNCAN, Gimingham & Trunch > Hi All: > > > > Charlotte PRIEST was born in Gimingham around 1806 and baptised there on > 11 May 1806, to Elizabeth PRIEST.

Hi All: Charlotte PRIEST was born in Gimingham around 1806 and baptised there on 11 May 1806, to Elizabeth PRIEST. No father is mentioned in the baptism record. Charlotte had at least 5 children, William Wells PRIEST (Apr 1828), Mary Ann DUNCAN (1830-1897), Emma Duncan (1834), Ezra DUNCAN (1834-1902), Charlotte Duncan (1837). She married James DUNCAN in Trunch in 1829. Elizabeth and her daughter Charlotte appear in the 1841 and 1851 censuses in Trunch, and Elizabeth appears to have been born in Gimingham around 1770. I have hit a brick wall over Elizabeth. Was her maiden name PRIEST, and she never married? Was she a widow at the time of Charlotte's birth? And where/when was she born and to whom? The second wall is James DUNCAN - he presumably died before the 1841 census. Where/when was he born, and to whom? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Elizabeth PRIEST is my 4xgt grandmother Cheers Peter South Australia, 36 degrees, sunny

Rosie I've done a bit of Googling and have not, as yet, found anything re country wide movements at the Parish level, Genuki appears to say that its counties list refer to the pre 1974 arrangements and there are a few web sites which refer to specific counties. As well Family Search gives a breakdown of the post and pre 1974 Scottish setup but only in terms of what is now named what! What, if any, County(ad hoc?) realignments' eg those that brought Gorleston and Cobholm into Gt Yarmouth took place prior to 1974? As Julie suggested , even well before 1974, some parish records may have been held at Record's Offices out side of their counties. I note Newmarket remains in Suffolk although before the expansion of Suffolk territory around the town it self the connection to Suffolk is little more than the width of the road! The burghers there must wield considerable influence in high -places!

Good Morning Elizabeth and Carol, Yes, I did find the marriage of a Robert Doughty to Mary Ann Durrant and was about to investigate to see if this could have been the first marriage of Robert Nicholas Doughty. However, as shown by Carol, it is not my Robert N Doughty. I cannot find him on the 1841 Census. If I could find him there, then I may find his first wife. From 1851 up until the 1881 Census, his birth is given as abt 1820 (in fact it is 1819) and he was born in Walpole, Norfolk. In 1841 he would have been 22, I wonder if he was either in the Navy or Army when the 1841 Census was taken?

Hi Elizabeth, Thanks for the Census information. It doesn't appear that Benjamin and James belong to the family of William and Sarah. The information on John and his wife agrees with what I have with them coming to Victoria in the mid 1850's, although Elizabeth at Cambridge is a bit of a mystery, as Thomas would be too young to have had children, and Elizabeth still has the Allen surname (aged 10 in 1851). Perhaps I need to do some checking on the family she is living with in Cambridge. Thanks again. Kind regards, Warren
