Hi Jeff , I caught sight of the name SEXBY and realised that I was looking at this only the other night. My great-aunt's husband was the son of Susanna SEXBY, who I suspect was the sister of William and Robert. I found Susanna, aged 12 and Robert, aged 18, on the 1851 census, living at Harleston Road, Metfield, with their parents Robert and Sarah (HO107/1796f226p2), but until tonight I had no idea of the existence of William. Susanna married Benjamin DOWNHAM, and their marriage appears under Dec qtr 1856, with the reference Hoxne 4a 1199. On FreeBMD I found that these three are the only ones of that name married in the Dec qtr of 1856. William and Robert both appear with the reference Hoxne 4a 1198, although William is indexed as SEXSBY, while Robert appears on the index page twice, as both SEXBY and SEXSBY, the latter being transcribed as Se[x_]sby - although I can't see why there is any idea of a letter between the x and the s. The full list of names with the 4a 1198 reference is Robert SEXBY Robert SEXSBY William SEXSBY John ELSEY Eliza FENN Eliza BETTS It's strange that, while there are two marriages per page, counting the two Robert entries as one person, there are three males and two females with that reference. One of the images shows very darkly on FreeBMD, but the shape of the characters suggests that 1198 is the correct transcription. Hope this helps ... though I fear not!
