> > Thank you Trish. On Family Search, I found a Jonathan Daniel of Aldborough married to Catherine Scoulten of Knapton, 1771. Might this be my x3 grandparents? I then found a Jonathan Daniel, b.1747, father Samuel Daniel of Metton, mother was Mary Bond. Samuel is a family name - my x2 grandfather was Samuel. Maybe my Daniel family came from Metton? Metton is in the parish of Aldborough, I believe. It's all about proof and evidence and, although I can speculate, there is no direct proof that these are indeed my Daniels family. Maybe, as you said, the earlier Daniel family in Blickling is no connection whatsoever. Thanks again for your response - greatly appreciated.
