Hi Nivard, Many thanks for this. It seems that there are only two register image on line for that Parish, and very sparsely populated. Looking at Google Maps, Threxton almost doesn’t exist. I did find another entry for Mary Bunnet baptised in Threxton in 1811, parents Richard Bunnett & Elizabeth Friar. By a piece of good fortune, Richard Bunnett (of Castle Acre) married Elizabeth Fryer (of Great Dunham) on 11/12/1804 in Great Dunham. Even greater good fortune Richard Bunnett and Elizabeth Fryer baptised Ann Bunnett in Castle acre in 26/5/1805 Richard Bunnet and Elizabeth baptised Lydia (Lyde) Bunnett in Castle Acre 13/3/1808 Lydia & John Bird returned to Threxton to baptise their first born (Susannah) (16/7/1826) So, 1 family found, and now to discover who/what they did.
