Bales, Bale and variants are showing on the Norfolk transcriptions site but nothing in the name of the father. If you google 'norfolh+transcription' and follow the link to the genealogy.doun website you can search the transcribed records via surname. Norfolk PR's are not generally online but there this site is worth a look. Glen |

Hi Sam, I have searched for Richard Bales/Bagster b around 1823 and also James Bagster/Bales. However I automatically presumed James was alive so I will have another look for him in the Gro etc. Thanks :) Marie |

Just because the father is named on the marriage certificate, it doesn't mean that he was alive at the time. I have quite a few certificates where the father is named yet I have proof that he was deceased. The fact that the son has a different surname to his father suggests that he was born out of wedlock. Have you searched parish records for a baptism for him under either surname? Sam x |

Hi My Gtx4 Grandfather was born c1823 in Norfolk I have been trying to go back further but I have been unable to as I can find no record of his birth and his father has a different surname. In 1846 my Gtx4 Grandfather married and his father's name is on the cert. so I presume he was alive then. So I searched the 1841 census-No Luck! I searched for a death cert. for his father again no luck so I have a death cert. surplus to requirements: James Bagster aged 8 1855 My Gtx4 Grandfather was Richard Bales from Norfolk His father was James Bagster Any ideas would be great I also have other certs. that I don't need but don't know what to do with them Thanks |
