I am still looking for the marriage of Richard Gager and Susanna [surname unknown] taking place between 1765-1768. I would like to learn more about the area, where people travel to, from King Lynn and those coming to the area where they most likely arrived from. Richard was living in King Lynn [1764-65 & 1768-1779] which I know was a major sea port. I am interested in hearing about any transport route in the 1760's ship, canals, roads that people may have travel regularly on to /from King Lynn area for employment or family. Karen

Purely on the basis of the cluster of Gager births in the late 1700s Downham Market on FreeReg to at least two different fathers perhaps Downham Market and working through the villages outwards from there to check just in case Gager has been mis transcribed somewhere so it is not showing up on any index. ( it looks a name which is easy to transcribe/easy to mis spell. I wonder if there is any clue in how it is pronounced-is it Dutch or German in origin?) Did you not have any luck checking the Tilney All Saints/ St Lawrence actual records rather than the transcripts Karen? From Rootsweb board It looks as if you are not the only one looking-http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php/topic,536209.0.html Seeking a possible place of origin from trade and commerce routes is a bit of a scatter gun-even in the War of the Roses the Pastons from Caister were trotting up and down between London . If you had a trade in mind it could be a clue though-a waterman might be going to and from Ely for instance.

Karen, I doubt it will be of any help in determing where Richard originated - but you may well find the information on this link of interest: http://www.west-norfolk.gov.uk/default.aspx?page=24681 Stan L.
