Thank you to everyone who has responded. It has turned out to be a tricky one. 1). There are dozens of Silletts in Norfolk and Suffolk between the likely dates and a fair few Henrys. 2). The place name could be Narborough because looking at the photocopied record, the very first entry is for Newcombe and that “N” looks like my chap’s birthplace name (Not sure I can see an “r” though). 3). The difference between Henry’s and Ann’s ages (18 years) suggest it might be a second wife. 4). There are also many Tillots rattling around East Anglia and the “S” and “T” on that page are very similar. I am still following up suggestions (been at it nearly all day!!) but there are so many combinations to try. Brian Sillett
Hi, I thought it said Arborough , and immediately thought of Narborough , but even with a thick Norfolk accent ( no disrespect intended) spoken to a Yorkshire speaking enumerator. almost anything could have been understood incorrectly .......and yes Tilletts are also Silletts , the whole thing is as you say tricky ..... life is hard . soften it with a cat \\\=^..^=/// ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brian Sillett via" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 21, 2014 6:40 PM Subject: [NFK] 1861 census place - Henry Sillett Thank you to everyone who has responded.
