Find Ancestors

I am once again available for look ups - please EMAIL where possible stating as much information as you have however trivial, don't forget to say which resource/s you need it from. see below for resources available

I have 1841 Norfolk 1851 Norfolk - Warwick - Devon 1861 Norfolk 1861 Suffolk Ancestry access Norfolk Marriages 1801 - 1837 (this just gives date and place of marriage and names) I also have a few directories: Pigots Norfolk 1830 Norfolk Poll book 1786 1818 Norfolk Poll Book 1888 Norfolk Post Office Directory 1883 Suffolk Post Office Directory 1815 London Post Office Directory Please Please John Smith in Norfolk is no good I need at least a parish or Hundred The directories contain mainly a list of names and shortened address mostly for people with money or in business. Very much a chance in a million but has proved useful on a number of occasions so worth looking

hi teresa its really good to see you again,ive missed seeing you on the boards. i dont know if you remember but back in march you helped me so much by finding my henry hardy in norfolk,norwich in 1851. you were waiting for the arrival of the 1861 census at the time well......i was wondering if you could solve the puzzle for me please there were 2 possibilities for henry,one with parents jonathan and elizabeth and the other one with parents william and hannah thankyou so much,but dont go to too much trouble susie

Hi Susie No trouble at all - could you please remind me what I found Henrys age or whatever as you will appreciate I do many a look up and cannot remember them all. A jog of the details please lol Teresa

Hi Teresa, could you please look in the 1961 Norfolk for Sarah Francis who was born 1857 in Welney (Walesby), Norfolk her mothers name is Sarah Francis and was born in 1815 in Soham Norfolk Thanks, Steve

Hi there Lovely to see you on the boards again. Please, if it's not too much trouble, could you look up in the Norfolk poll book for 1786 John Barrett and wife Sarah (nee Whales) for Gunthorpe. He was a blacksmith. Also anything for the Whales in the Gunthorpe/Walsingham area. This is all the information I'm afraid I have. Thank you so much. Jackie

Hi Teresa, I am looking for in the 1861 census for Suffolk A BENJAMIN GRAYSTON his wife CHARLOTTE the children were Augustus Samuel Charles Eliza Hannah Roland and Alfred in 1841 they were living in Southwold suffolk. Also if it is not to much trouble any Pooles from Haverhill Suffolk. Thank you so much for your offer Margaret

Hi Steve living at 100ft Bank Welney Norfolk 1861 Sarah Francis unmarried age 45 occupation not clear but its ????? keeper born Soham William Francis age 15 boarder Ag Lab born Hilgay Norfolk Emily Francis age 7 boarder born Hilgay norfolk I can find no mention of the younger Sarah however sorry Don't know if you have anything on the older Sarahs family but this could be the William living with her in 1861 so though it says Boarder I would imagine they are related somehow Head: FRANCIS, John Neighbors 223973 Name Relationship Mar Age Sex Occupation Birthplace John FRANCIS Head M 43 M Ag Lab Welney-Nfk Sarah FRANCIS Wife M 30 F --- Welney-Nfk William FRANCIS Son - 5 M --- Welney-Nfk Charles FRANCIS Son - 3 M --- Welney-Nfk Thomas FRANCIS Son - 2 M --- Welney-Nfk Address: 100 Ft Bank, Downham Census Place: Welney Downham, Norfolk PRO Reference: HO/107/1830 Folio: 529 Page: 10 FHL Film: 0207485 Any questions please shout also you probably know this but Soham - Welney are often found on the Cambridge census - indeed Soham is not on 1851 for norfolk at all Teresa

sorry Jackie No mention of either of those names Teresa

sorry Zoe no joy with Barnabus Teresa

Hi Teresa, Thanks for your help. I made a small mistake i put Sarah down twice the youngest should have been Emily which is what you found, do you have the image and could you send it to me ? Thanks for the info about Soham - Welney i didn't know that. Steve.

Hi Steve The 1861 doesn't allow me to save pages - I can get you a copy - if I first print and then scan it onto comp - you lose a bit of quality but its still ok I don't make a habit of this as it is a big waste of paper but if you send me your email address I will make an exception Regards Teresa

Thanks for looking anyway Teressa. Jackie
