MARY MARCHANT
A friend and I both have Ancestors called MARY MARCHANT. Mine is from Suffolk and is the daughter of Richard Merchant & Dinah Bloss ( 1728-1792) who married John Wilkins as noted in the will of Dinah Chaplin (2nd Husband). We are looking for MAry Marchant (1749-1842) who married Thomas Langford in Hampshire, but they were both buried in Hunstanton Norfolk. It is possible that she came from Norfolk, not Suffolk. Thanks for any help. Peter Merchant |

Two baptisms - same person?
I wonder if someone could cast their beady eye on two baptisms for me please, both for a Daniel Smith Drake in the Parish Church of Attleborough.
I ask as one is baptised 9 December 1832 [page 139, image 73] ?by Fairfax Francklin, Rector, the abode listed as Windham [I believe that is a short version of Wymondham, but happy to be corrected]. The second is baptised on 22 June 1834 [page 153 on image 80], and again by Rector Fairfax Francklin but the abode now Attleborough. There are another two similar records, which I suspect are the bishops transcripts The only burial I can find for a Daniel Smith between 1832 - 1835 is for an 8 year old boy from Brideswell Street on 18 August 1833 at the parish church of Wymondham. Is it possible that the same child was baptised twice? and if so, why??? |

Thanks very much for that. I don't have access to Ancestry, but I don't know why I hadn't checked on Freereg. Of course, as usual in this game, solving one problem immediately creates two more! Best wishes, Jim On 4 Aug 2023 at 12:33, Dave Naylor wrote:

Re: [Norfolk] [East-Anglia-Genealogy] NAILER/NAYLOR in Norfolk
开云体育Hello Jim,My NAYLOR/NAYLERs were in North Lincolnshire during the early 1600s and later spread out to Yorkshire (Humberside), Nottinghamshire, and Norfolk.? Honor doesn't appear to be related to my bunch -- there are a few different Y-haplogroups of Naylors with no connection between them except for sharing the surname.? I suppose nailing was a common occupation when surnames were originated! However, checking FreeREG shows an Honor NAYLOR being baptised at Flitcham, St Mary, on 30 Mar 1777.? A daughter of John & Ann. Checking further shows John NAILER marrying Ann THOMPSON on 24 Jan 1765 at Flitcham, St Mary, by licence -- no further details shown on register page (viewed at Ancestry). Perhaps something to work from. Cheers! -- Dave On 2023-08-03 3:10 p.m., Jim Fisher

BETTS in Norfolk
开云体育Hello folks,Mention of the surname BETTS in Norfolk caused me to awake from a long slumber... My maternal grandmother was Alice Soons BETTS (1865-1937 Norwich) who married Albert SPILLING (1863-1940) in 1886. I have only managed to trace her ancestry back a couple of generations to a James BETTS (1774-1852) and an unknown wife.? And then there's reference to his parents as another James BETTS and Ann.? All of these being in Norwich.? I've found researching BETTS from afar via available online records extremely difficult because the surname seems so common in Norfolk in that era. There is a family story that one of our BETTS relatives served on the ship Trafalgar with Nelson, but I've searched the available surviving crew lists and haven't found any relatives. Sadly, DNA testing hasn't provided me with any identifiable matches via my BETTS ancestry.? Most of my maternal DNA matches trace back through my SPILLING ancestry -- BLYTH, GOWEN/GOWING, RHODES. Cheers! -- Dave --

PIKE, RAYNER, REYNOLDS, MYHILL, HANNANT, SHACKLE, BOND
Hello.
I have the above names in my ancestry, all of them, being from Norfolk. For my connection to the names PIKE, REYNOLDS, MYHILL, HANNANT, SHACKLE, and BOND, please see . For my connection to the name RAYNER, please see . William Myhill PIKE and Sarah RAYNER comprise one of my sets of great-great-grandparents. I have undergone the FamilyTreeDNA Family Finder Test (genealogical autosomal DNA test) (), and am a member of the Norfolk geographical genealogical DNA group project () at FamilyTreeDNA (). If anyone is related to, or, otherwise has information relating to, the people in my ancestry, I would be interested in the information being posted to the list. Thank you in anticipation. -- Bret Busby Wikitree participant Armadale West Australia (UTC+0800) .............. |

Thomas Woolnough (d. South Elmham All Saints & St Nicholas 1800)
Dear listers,
Happy New Year! Some 590 trees on Ancestry.com indicate that the Thomas Woolnough who married Hannah Fiske at?South Elmham All Saints & St Nicholas on 8 October 1751 was the son of William Woolnough and Mary Branch, baptised in the same parish on 19 February 1727. The problem with this identification is that this Thomas died soon afterwards, and was buried there on 28 February 1727. We must therefore look elsewhere for Hannah Fiske's husband. He was reportedly 87 when he died, which suggests a DoB c. 1722/23. The only candidate I have found was baptised at Campsea Ashe on 3 March 1722, son of Robert Woolnough and Elizabeth Woodward. Campsea Ashe isn't exactly next door to the South Elmhams, but I have no other suggestion at present. Can anyone else cast any light? Best wishes, Rod Lyall |

I am in the process?of leaving the lists as no one ever posts my names. I posted them all at the beginning but no one has responded as with Rootsweb. I had WOODROWs in Norfolk around Norwich, my paternal grandmother whose family I have back 2 generations. Grandmother
married a BROWN in Suffolk but neither of those counties have responded to me.

Hey there,
How's everybody doing in these uncertain times? Just thought I'd introduce myself and say hi. I've been researching my family history for about 15 years, and I've found a lot of connections in Norfolk, mostly from my mum's family. My grandma's family, the Garwoods, seem to have been landowners in areas around Thurlton, Norton Subcourse, Raveningham, and possibly Haddiscoe - although something clearly went badly wrong in the late 1800s. My grandad's family, the Terringtons, came from around the areas of Stanhoe, Gaton, and possibly Northwold. At the moment my priority lies with the Garwoods - I still have a whole chain of unsolved mysteries in that family that could likely turn into quite a dramatic story, not to mention loose connections that need joining up. Though I'll probably have to wait until more documents are transcribed online to research that - I am totally blind so I couldn't get to any of the archives or indeed read their original material. Anyway, look forward to reading whatever you guys are working on. My skills might be limited but I'll certainly help out where I can. Cheers. |

Re: Intro
Dear Day Garwood THe fact they moved around a lot would make it more difficult. My Johnson side did move more than the Bush family but they were Bedford, London. My maternal side Heath did travel more when they reached South Africa but the biggest problem was the very large families and Afrikaans naming pattern, first son after father, then paternal grandfather, then maternal grandfather, brothers. John Henry Heaths galore.? Good luck with your research. If I were in England and near a research centre I would offer to help but I live in New Zealand. I hope you manage to get in touch with with someone researching? Garwood. It has certainly made it easier having a group of us all researching Heath.?

Just wherever my family ends up really. The Garwoods in particular moved about a lot - if we take my direct ancestral line, we start in Norton Subcourse, then move to Thurlton between 1775 and 1801, then to Haddiscoe in the 1820s, then back to Thurlton, then to Beccles in the 1870s, then to Hull in the 1890s, then to Halifax in the 1940s... Unfortunately information would have to be online for me to find it - not only that but transcribed as well. I am totally blind so A can't get to any physical repositories, and B can't read the records even if I did. Cheers. On 29/06/2021 11:42 pm, Sarah Fulguirinas wrote:
