Jan, Just a thought- do you know if Thomas was the eldest in his family ? By that I mean have you found any likely Rockett families in Wendling Fransham etc and surrounding villages with children born in the years when you might expect his birth to be, around 1800ish? If so you might check for Thomas born to the wife in those families but under her maiden name, just in case he was born a bit before his parents married. Did you try Ovington and points in between there and Wendling as there is a Henry on the 1841 old enough to be father of Thomas if he was born around 1800. And I suppose if Scarning is in the reckoning Dereham must be too. A tricky name for being misread/spelled though. The Zachariah could just be a fad in a village, seems to have happened just as much back then as now. Rosie On 29/12/2011 11:02, Jan Rockett wrote: > Elizabeth, > This is definitely my family.

Does anyone know where George TUDMAN was born ? He married Eleanor SNUSHALL in Islington-cum-Tilney in 1836 and they had 4 children in Saddlebow (Wiggenhall-St-Mary-the-Virgin) between 1838 and 1843. As far as I can see he was not related to the Alby TUDMAN family, but I may be wrong.

Hello Elizabeth and Janice Robert Doughty did marry Mary Ann Durrant on 18/10/1842 in Guist which is in the Mitford registration district. She was d/o Thomas Durrant, shoemaker and Robert bc 1821 Corpusty was the s/o William Doughty and his wife Elizabeth. William as bc 1780 Hempstead and died from cholera aged 74 and was buried in Guist on 27/08/1854 - his wife Elizabeth died aged 65 and was buried in Guist on 24/04/1850. William and Elizabeth had three known children - Mary bc 1812 Corpusty, Robert bc 1821 Corpusty and Susanna bap 07/12/1823 Guist. Mary married Henry Bird in Guist on 27/12/1831 and Susanna married John Hill in Guist on 02/12/1845. Robert's first wife Mary Ann Durrant bore him three sons before both she and the youngest son died in 1848. Robert then remarried in Guist to Mary Ward on 04/07/1853 and she bore him another four children. I have fairly comprehensive family trees for Mary, Robert and Susanna if they are of interest to Janice or anyone else connected to this family. This Doughty family inhabited Guist from about 1823 until 1861 but don't know if they connected to Janice's Doughty family from the Walpoles. Happy New Year to everyone on the Norfolk list!

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. He was a house painter, and they moved around Norfolk spending time in Great Ellingham, Heigham, Norwich, Cranworth, Shipdham and by 1911 were at Wramplingham on the Wymondham Road where he was a Journeyman Miller as well as House Painter. Elizabeth died in 1951 in the North Walsham Registration District. Elizabeth was born in 1871 to James Thompson REEDER and Elizabeth BARNARD at Great Ellingham. My nana, Sarah REEDER, was about 2 years younger than Elizabeth. In the 1911 census Elizabeth and Frederick had 10 children, 8 still living: Frederick James b. 1890 Maud Elizabeth b. 1892 Eva Mildred b. 1894 Donald John b. 1895 Hilda Mary b. 1898 Bessie Violet b. 1900 Sidney Frank b. 1903 Routh Evelyn b. 1907 There are at least 2 other children who were born and died in between the census. I haven't followed up much on this part of the family and only have the bare essentials.

Elizabeth, This is definitely my family. I do have this info and am desperate to go back beyond his father, Thomas Rockett who maintains he was born in Wendling. I have searched the adjoining parish records available on Family Search in images. I can find Thomas's wife's baptism years before his alleged birth but nothing for him, anywhere. I have found a chap named Zachariah Rockett in London , manufacturer of Coach Lace, who had his children in London and Exeter. As Zachariah is unusual in the Rockett line, but does run through it I wondered if there could be some relationship between these 2 families. I know its a long shot but in this game you never know!!

Hello Listers, Updating names:- DOUGHTY SAILER CHILVERS GATHERCOLE GRIFFIN SEEKING BURCHAM The above families hail from Walpole St Peter, Walpole St Andrews, Towngreen Wymondham, Terrington St Clements. James DOUGHTY Married Ann STAILER in 23rd Nov 1785 of the parish of Terrington St Clement, Witnesses were Bona EASTER and John OCKLEY Their son:- Robert DOUGHTY Married Alice GATHERCOLE on 14th May 1807 in the parish of Terrington St Clement by Vicar Ambrose Goode. Witnesses were Hannah READER and William READER. They had six known children. Their youngest son:- Robert Nicholas DOUGHTY Born circa 1819 - baptised 19th Dec 1819 at Walpole St Peter by John Nelson. Robert first married ???? Details of Robert's first marriage cannot be found, as the parish registers of Walpole St Peter were stolen with the plate in the 1960s. The stolen chest was presumed to contain silver and when the thieves found that it was only registers, they threw it in the Rive Nene. Widow Robert Nicholas DOUGHTY 26 married Elizabeth BURCHAM 17 on 25th December 1846 at Wymondham, Norfolk by John Nelson. Elizabeth BURCHAM was born 1829 in Wymondham, Norfolk she was the daughter of John and Elizabeth Burcham, Inn keeper of The Dove and Two Brewers Pubs and he was also a butcher in Wymondham. The Burcham family originated in Suffolk in Lowersoft and names such as CRISP, CHAMBERLAIN and CONE are mentioned in this branch of the family. Robert Nicholas and Elizabeth DOUGHTY (nee BURCHAM) had 10 children between 1849 and 1872. They had only one daughter Elizabeth. The children were born in Ryburgh and Towngreen Wymondham Norfolk, Tottenham Middlesex, Plumstead Kent, Farlington Hampshire, Purbrook and Portsea Hampshire. The family at last settled in Hampshrie after Robert had been a Supervisor on the laying of the sewer line through England and Robert and his wife Elizabeth then ran "The George Public House" at 84 Queen Street, Portsea,using Elizabeth's vast experience working in her father John's pub back in Wymondham. The George is very historical pub in Portsea. Most of the clientele at the Pub were seafarers, and the sons of the DOUGHTY family would listen to the many stories of lands beyond the seas, told in the bar over a few beers. The stories so intrigued the boys, especially the stories of the gold being found Down Under, that five of them, between the years of 1874 and 1888, immigrated to Australia. One of the those boys was Robert John DOUGHTY, who married his first cousin, Hannah DOUGHTY in Portsea and not long after their marriage sailed to Australia in 1874 to join Hannah's eldest brother John and his wife Rebecca (nee Griffin), who had settled on the Southern Tablelands of New South Wales in a town called Tumbarumba. It is believed that Robert Nicholas DOUGHTY, may have had sons from his first marriage before he married Elizabeth BURCHAM and they also immigrated, however the story goes that they settled in the US. However, we have never been able to find these sons, or who Robert's first wife was. Hope you all had a wonferful Christmas. Cheers Janice Belrose - Sydney

Hi Elizabeth I am struggling to find a marriage of Richard Gager to Susanna [surname unknown]. Richard lost his first wife in 1765 and he died in 1779. Richard and Susanna had their first child in free reg under Elizabeth Gage in 1768. Richard married his first wife in 1764 in Tilney and banns were read in his parish of King Lynn. His first wife was previously married in 1759 in Tilney. Richard and Susanna's burial on family search does not give an age so I am guessing they were born around the 1740's Richard maybe in the late 1730's.

I am looking for Edmonds/Edmunds ..... Norwich and Great Walsingham ... 1600 - 1700 Bultitude ..... Toft Monks, Aldeby and in and around SE Norfolk...... 1600 onwards Aldred ....... Brampton and Gt Yarmouth..... 1630 - 1750 Manclarke ........ Loddon, Chedgrave, Mundham, Aldeby, Norton Subcourse (and thereabouts) ..... 1500 onwards All ended up in Lowestoft, eventually. Gwynne

Hi Trish, Thanks for the births information. I was hoping there may have been a son born 1813 - my Benjamin, and a James born c.1817 / 1818. The link you have is to a different Walpole House, as the 1845 note I mentioned, seemed to indicate that the mansion had been demolished, and only the moat remained. The Roxham area I am interested in is near Hilgay, Denver & Fordham. The other Wroxham is north east of Norwich. I have also been researching a Mundeford Allen, who's son William Allen, was the Vicar of Narborough (Narburgh) in the early 1800's. I should really try to determine whether the Vicar had any children as well. I note that there is a place named Mundford near Roxham, and I was wondering whether Mundeford Allen could have been named after that Town. Cheers, Warren

Hi Listers, I am still chasing information on my Allen family brick wall, and would like to find out more information about the children of William Allen and Phoebe Firman who married in 1809 at Ryston cum Roxham Norfolk. I have found that they had a son named John born 1811, who went to Australia in 1854, but would like to know whether they had any other children. The Archdeacon's transcripts only go to 1812, and I think I need access to later records. Their son John was baptised in the Denver Parish Church, which was Phoebe's Parish prior to her marriage. I also note that an 1845 directory on Roxham indicates that there was a moat there which had adjoined a "Walpole House", referred to as a mansion. Does anyone know any history of the people who owned and resided in this property? Kind regards, Warren Diggins, Australia

I think Genuki may have a page -I think I have seen one-but not quite sure what to google plus Genuki to find it again.
