I am trying to birth of a William Dickerson in Morningthorpe Norfolk .It should be in Depwade dis. 1850. He is with who I think is his mother aged 1 in 1851 census and 11 in 1861. Has a brother Francis .He married in 1870. Have cert no fathers name.He and wife are with my gt x2 grandfather in 1881 as visitors. Mother Hannah had married said gt x 2grand father in 1871. Do not think he is William father and know he is not Francis father. I have looked at Morningthorpe AT /BT but unreadable. Also look at Statton St Michael where mother was born, no luck. Thank you Daphne

So what is mums surname? Ok, found them 1851: William is shown as 'nephew' to the head, Francis Palmer. Francis Palmer is from Hoxne in Suffolk. Hannah, who you think is Williams mum? is shown as neice. So, Hannah Palmer the wife should be the sister of Hannah Dickersons mum/dad or Francis the bro of Hannah's mum/dad?

Yes Heather that them.Hannah Dickerson is the mother. Hannah Palmer is her fathers sister so is her Aunt and Uncle. I have just found out that Francis is her child by her cousin. and wonder if William is by this man too.Robert Dickerson had my Hannah.His Sister Hannah married Francis Palmer. Another sister Judith married a James Barber . They had a Francis who is father to Francis Dickerson age 4 in 1851.On the wedding cert of William, Francis Dickerson and wife are wittness. Thank you Nan will send for cert ,but may not have father but will have mother. I have looked every where for it. Thank you Hannah married my gt 2 xgrandfather Humphrey Lusher in 1871 .And never knew she had ,had any children until connact on here. Thank you Daphne
