Thank you both Elizabeth and Jean. Elizabeth, I did find the Jonathan Daniel you mentioned, baptised at Metton in 1747, and wondered if it was, indeed, my Jonathan Daniel. Although I have no evidence, I was taken with the fact that his father was Samuel, a name which has carried through in the Daniels family. Also, the age is right, as that would make him 24 when he married in 1771. I was a little puzzled, though, to find the second Jonathan Daniel, baptised at Metton in 1767 to the same parents. Why would they name a second child as Jonathan if the first one was still alive? I have worked back from the marriage of Samuel Daniel of Metton and his wife Mary Bond in 1745 to the possibility that the family originally came from Matlaske. A Jonathan Daniell was born in Matlaske in 1682, who may have been Samuel's father - again, the names follow through. However, a Jonathan and Mary Daniel were in Blickling when they had their first child baptised in 1703. I wondered if this is possibly the same family who moved away and then returned to Blickling for a while, before moving away again. There is no mention of the Daniel family in Blicking after 1715, until, in 1772, we find Jonathan and Catherine Daniel. My problem is that this is all speculative, purely based on family names, and I would love to be able to find some sort of evidence.

I believe he may have been from Aldborough, but can get no further than a record of a marriage in Aldborough of a Jonathan DANIEL (of this parish, i.e. Aldborough) and Catherine SCOUTEN from Knapton, in 1771. > > I wondered if anyone can tell me if there are any records, which can be accessed, which show the movement of people through the parishes in the eighteenth century. > > > From: "elizabeth howard" <[email protected]> > Subject: [NFK] Daniel/Daniels Blickling 1772 - Parish records of movement? > Date: 8 June 2014 17:08:01 BST > To: <[email protected]> > Reply-To: [email protected] > > > Hi, FreeReg has a Jonathan Daniel bapt at Metton , 1767 son of Samuel and Mary . There is also a bapt of a Jonathan Daniel son of Samuel and Mary at Metton in Dec 1747 Metton on genuki/norfolk records has a marriage of a Daniel to a Caston in 1748 , Caston is the groom , no Christian names given........and the Daniel bride is from Baconsthorpe. These are all fairly small parishes south of Cromer, north of Aylsham and Holt . People moved for work .but I can see no removal orders or settlement certs for this family . > > > > > From: Jean Greenwood <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [NFK] Daniel/Daniels Blickling 1772 - Parish records of movement? > Date: 8 June 2014 19:34:19 BST > To: [email protected] > Cc: [email protected] > Reply-To: [email protected] > > > ​ > > Hi > > The Daniel children bap at Blickling show mother as Catherine and Catherine > Scoulton was bapt at Knapton on 19th Jun 1749 dau of William and Elizabeth > - see NFK ATs on Family Search image 16. > Jonathan and Catherine had 3 children bap Blickling 1772 - 1776 and a > further 3 bap there 1783 -1787. > > Daniel[s] is not a surname that occurs in the Knapton, Blickling or > Aldborough PR baps around the 1740s - early 1750s when assume Jonathan > would have been born. > > Sorry not to be more help > > Jean > >> > To contact the NORFOLK list administrator, send an email to > [email protected] > > To post a message to the NORFOLK mailing list, send an email to [email protected] > > __________________________________________________________ > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] > with the word "unsubscribe" without the quotes in the subject and the body of the > email with no additional text.
