I meant from the earliest up to about 18th century. I have a possible marriage of my GGPx5 in Great Ellingham (a stones throw, yes?) and then no birth or marriage for my GGPx4 who suddenly turn up in Ketteringham in 1760. Its driving me round the bend not finding them. Elizabeth Selby born c1741 and Edward Horstead 1735

Erm, could you have a quick look at marriages for any Horsteads or Selbys up to about 1750 please? Dont spend a lot of time, I cant honestly remember if Ive already done this parish as there is over 700 to do.

Don't think you can be ''blood by marriage''! But put who you like on your tree! Merry
