Could some kind person look up a familyfor me? They lived in heigham (comes under Norwich). They are:- Theodore Smith born c 1821 Susannah Smith born c 1823 Theodore Smith born c 1847 Seems odd but l think they may have had other children and only got them in 1851. Would love to see what the census says about them. Thanks Maureen

Don't think the 1861 is on that either. I got some of my relatives by handing over some money to the Norfolk Records Office -worth every penny! nell

Nell, it has all different bits of info, sometimes census, sometimes not - its a case of trawling and hoping. Yes, when I first started this I gave NRO a tenner to look something up for me and photocopy it. Must say the next time they didnt find it and still took me money!
