Find Ancestors

Will be visiting a The Norfolk Libaray, Family History Centre on Thrusday this week, if anyone would like a look up Please let me know. Angie.

Angie I dont need a lookup thanks, just wanted to say have a great day on Thursday, the Library is a great place to go to, and the staff are really helpful. Good luck with your research. Regards Yvette

Hello Angie Thank you so much for your really kind offer. Please could you look up, if there are any parish records there, the marriage of my 6x ggrandfather, a John Barrett to a Sarah Whales. John was a blacksmith and I think they married around 1780, probably in a parish around the Gunthorpe, Walsingham, Wells on Sea area of Norfolk. Their children were baptised in Gunthorpe but haven't managed to establish date of John's marriage or his death -which I know was before 1838. His son Henry b 1800 (also a blacksmith) married but later was widowed. No idea who his first wife was. If you can find anything out about this family, would be really grateful. Jackie

Angela, If you have time, could you look up John Osborne, born 1849 or 1844 in Norwich. Cannot be any more specific than that other than he was a blacksmith. Please dont spend too long, I am sure you will have enough to do. regards John

Hi All, No problem, will look for these for you all while there. Yvette, thank you for the message, it was a lovely thought! Angie.

Hi Angela If you have the time could you possibly lookup the baptism of this person for me. I have him on the 1881 census as James Arnold born Mundford Norfolk 1834. So far nobody can find him on the 1841/51 census i am beginning to think he was deposited by aliens!! I know he married a lady called Maria who was born Methwold Norfolk around 1836 must have married around 1863/4 their eldest child John was born around 1865 in Methwold. I would be really grateful if you could find any info on him for me. Kind Regards Sharon

Angela, If you can aaccess parish records I'd be very grateful if you could look up the birth of Henry Bartram. From the 1871 and 1901 census I have his birth as Dickleborough - but his date of birth flutters between 1824 and 1830. His father is Barnabus Bartam - woodman or carpenter. I'd love to find out a surname for his mother Frances and a more accurate birthdate. Brothers and sisters are William c1821, Caroline c1826, Susan c1830 and Richard c1833 (just in case that's any help) Many thanks Zoe

Hello Angela Could you see if you can find a marriage between Thomas William Page and Jane Spooner please? I think it would be sometime around 1865-1872. Thanks, Sandra

Hi All, Have enough look ups for this week, but will be going again next week also, and am happy to do more then. I will leave a message on this board nearer the time. Many thanks Angie.

Hi Angie-Yvette kindly looked up some info for me last week. I wonder if you could email me next week to remind me to email you with my request for your next visit. Sorry it sounds a bit topsy turvy but I live in NZ & what with the time difference & the fact that I have to wait until my hubby comes home from work with the laptop I wouldn't like to miss out. Thanks-hope you get the info for YOUR family tree!! Regards...Zoe (not the same Zoe as above-how can there be 2 of us!!!)

Hi Angela, Hope you can help. Serching for birth of ROBERT WATSON SOUTHWELL, born 1859 in Great Yarmouth. Farther called William John Southwell. Many thanks, and happy hunting. Gloria

Hi Zoe and Gloria, Will put you on the list for next week. Not a problem. Regards Angie.

Just keeping it on the board so I can post results of look ups. Angie.

Hi Angela Hope I'm not too late. Looking for info on Thomas William Blayze b 1863 Norfolk. Many thanks Leigh

Hi Leigh, Will put you on my list for next week, as have full list for this week. It's not a problem though will look for you then. If you happen to have the information by then could you let me know please. Many thanks Angie.

Hi Angie I wonder if you could do a look up of a baptism of Job Fisk Born c 1785 Kirby Cane Or Loddon Norfolk and his Brother James bn c 1779 Kirby cane or Loddon I,ve been stuck with These for ages As I Live miles away in Manchester thanks In Advance Regards Dave

Angela Many thanks, I await you findings. Leigh

Angie I'd like to take you up on your kind offer for when you make your next visit be it next week or next month. I'm looking for info on George Charles HOSTE born c 1814 ( est yr from 1851/81/91 census forms.) Fakenham Norfolk. A Curate in occupation. Married ( i have no idea when but hope you may find out ) to Ann. I'm not sure of her maiden name but have it written in very hard to read writting it looks like BRENOBLEY - but I have never come across a single bit of info for this name EVER . I'm guessing it's wrong. George died in Sussex 1892. He and Ann had TEN children between the years 1848 - 1868. I would be interested in one of them called : George Henry HOSTE b 1851 Fakenham Norfolk just his birth. I have his marriage. There was a much posher George Charles HOSTE born around the same time and area as mine. But he died in 1845 and is associated to Burlingham Hall and mine is not. So it maybe easy to be confused with the 2. I do hope I haven't overloaded you. I fully understand if you don't have the time though and do hope you put your re search first. Thank you for the offer though. Much happiness Debi

Hi All The look ups that I did on Thursday, I've posted e-mails to you all. Regards Angie

Hi Angela, Could I add a couple of names to your lookup list for whenever it is convenient. I am trying to find birth/baptism information for James Churchman b. around 1809 and Frances Webb b. around 1918; both in Castle Acre. Thank you for your kind offer, Jonathan
