Find Ancestors

Oooh...I wonder if this is him. Would be amazing if it is, so many questions: what is he doing in London? did he survive? Did he stay in London?

Coincidence is that a member of family on mums side died here around the same time!

Thank you for taking the time, I really appreciate it.
Stay safe

Not that marriage.

In 1851 your James's father Thomas was a pauper, formerly fish hawker.
The father of the man who married Sarah Ann Gaze/Gage was a gardener.

A couple of children of that marriage:

JOHNSON, HANNAH GAZE

This is that family in 1861 - therefore not your James:

Great minds think alike! Isn’t this odd, I posted then rechecked census and found 1851 where he is aged 19 living at home and working as an labourer.

Thank you for taking the time. 2 pieces of evidence are REALLY helpful.

Now I need to find what he did after 1851....

Thanks again and stay safe

edward should be edmond

Would anyone be able to help please? I have managed to find a lot of ancestors, yay me, but am struggling with this one.

I have found his birth & baptism, I have both parents and siblings. What I can’t find is ANYTHING after his baptism.

James father is called Thomas b1797, mother is Ann Sarsby & almost all his ancestors and male relations are agricultural labourers and fish sellers. Most are illiterate using an X on marriage.

His siblings are Robert b1830, then James b1832, Hannah b1834 & Edmond b1840. Eldest 2 are born in Beeston Regis, younger 2 are born in Sheringham.

James father was previously married to Mary Maria Parsons and had 3 daughters who are Mary Ann b1820, Harriet b1823 & Sarah Ann b1825.

James is the REAL enigma...born and then disappeared. I have tried censuses, parish records, civil records. I’ve tried searching for marriages and burials but I can’t find anything that makes me feel I am on the right track.

Everyone from 1830 back to 1500 is born, bred and died in west and north Norfolk.

Hope that’s enough info, sorry if it’s too much. Fingers crossed. Hope everyone is staying safe.
Thanks
Caroline
