Hello.. I'm looking for a baptism/birth record for Brown Woodhouse, born about 1823 Gimmingham, Norfolk. Immigration record has his parents as Stephen and Mary Woodhouse. Death cert has parents as William and Hannah/Ann Woodhouse. Brown died in Australia. I can't find anything online for that area. Thank you. |

Thanks Sylvia... I have that census. It is him. Strangely there are two about the same age. Have also ordered the marriage cert. Just impatient, but I am interested to see if parish record has same father as marriage cert. They take a while to get over here. Mind you I shouldn't complain. |

Thank you Jo, I've copied them out. At the moment I still need Brown's birth, but when I get that your info will be very useful. Thanks again. |
