Has anyone come across NORTHWALSOM in their search?

I've one census where the person's birthplace is given as Norfolk Alby/Abbey, and on an earlier census Northwalsom.

Any help appreciated - thanks.

There is a North Walsham in Norfolk.

I've found family on the 1901 /1891 / 1881 / & 1871 census, but cannot find anything in England or Wales for 1861 or 1851.
Any ideas where else to look?

It's more than likely they are mis-transcribed. If you put up the details for the 1871 census that you have I'm sure someone will try to find the family for you.

I have to go out shortly but will check back later in case no one has found them for you.

Thanks.
Would that be on the records Office board?

I would put it on the records office board but anywhere will do as long as you only put it on one board so that people don't waste their time looking for something that someone has already found on another board.
