Trying to find info about the William Childs born in Deopham Norfolk 1774. I'd love to know his parentage and also if he is the William Childs who married Ann Mason in Antingham 16th August 1803.

Hopefully one of you wonderful people may have access to the right info.

Fingers crossed!!

Many thanks Heather- really quick work. I did have details of the Wymondham William Childs but I don't think they are the family I'm after, but they could be!!

A lot of useful info though which I'll keep and refer to>

Again, thanks for everything

Terence, there is the Norfolk transcription archive site - google for it - was a brilliant help to me when I first started my Norfolk line - sadly no longer maintained or added to - and there is also the wonderful new freereg site which volunteers are transcribing now.
