Just as an aside, Edward Whitacre, Jr. was CEO of SBC (a large telecom here in the US) for many years: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_Whitacre,_Jr. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Gerry Newnham <gerry@kiltie.net> Date: Sun, Aug 21, 2011 at 10:55 AM Subject: [NFK] WHITACRE/WHITAKER To: norfolk@rootsweb.com Good Afternoon List, (Re-sent as original seems to have evaporated into the ether!) Ann WHITACRE (various spellings), the daughter of William and Ann WHITACRE, was baptised on 20 Feb 1780 at Intwood with Kewick and said to be born in East Carleton. She married Robert BAYLEY on 15 Dec 1800 at East Carleton. The witnesses seem to be Sarah BAYLEY (probably Robert's younger sister) and James ARBOROUGH. Despite extensive searches in surrounding parishes I have been unable to find any other children of this marriage (there may, of course, not be any) nor the marriage of William and Ann (whose surname I have not yet found). The surname is not registered with GOONS. Has anybody come across this family or have any suggestions as to how I could extend the search? With best wishes, Gerry
