Please can anyone help. I am trying to find the details of the parents of Elizabeth Terrington born 1811 Gayton Norfolk. She married John Gamble on 18th November 1831 Dersingham Norfolk. I am also not sure sure if Elizabeth had any siblings. Thank you for all your help on my previous posts. Pam

For our reference:

The marriage record says they were bachelor and spinster.

The witnesses were William Terrington and Ann Patrick.

I will follow up William Terrington and Ann Patrick. I have all the details for the marriage to John Gamble in 1843, and the children they had, but nothing about who the parents of Elizabeth Terrington were . Thank you Pam

Although the baptism posted by Kath is the nearest one I could see, too, Gayton is approx 15 miles from Stanhoe.


There's also this one - but Gayton is even further from Outwell - approx 24 miles:

Elizabeth Torengton
England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
Name: Elizabeth Torengton
Event Type: Christening
Event Date: 19 May 1808
Event Place: Outwell, Norfolk, England, United Kingdom
Event Place (Original): Outwell, Norfolk, England
Gender: Female
Father's Name: Thomas Torengton
Mother's Name: Mary



EDIT:

This one's nearer geographically - about 6 or 7 miles - but Eliza, not Elizabeth:


Eliza Torrington
England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
Name: Eliza Torrington
Event Type: Christening
Event Date: 28 Feb 1809
Event Place: Little Massingham, Norfolk, England, United Kingdom
Event Place (Original): Little Massingham, Norfolk, England
Gender: Female
Mother's Name: Mary Torrington

This would fit with the possible 1803 baptism Kath found for Elizabeth:

William Terrington
England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
Name: William Terrington
Event Type: Christening
Event Date: 14 Apr 1811
Event Place: Stanhoe, Norfolk, England, United Kingdom
Event Place (Original): Stanhoe with Barwick, Norfolk, England
Gender: Male
Father's Name: William Terrington
Mother's Name: Sarah Wilkin
Record Number: 39

But both Elizabeth and William claimed to be a few years younger than they were - if those are the correct baptisms.
