Thanks Emma Have replied via email also. Yvette

Yvette, Sent Dixon Sporle births to you via "contacts" Emma.

Hi Emma Sorry for the delay in replying, had to do the school library !!!! Anyway, thanks for the find on Harriet Dixon, and yes please to all other Dixons in the area it may prove be a piece to the puzzle later. As for the Elliff list from last night, yes thanks i did get it and i posted a reply. That was exactly the information i was hoping you would find. I really appreciate the help, and if its not too cheeky i may be back for more, lol. Regards Yvette

Yvette, RG12/1575, Folio 58, Page 19 Great Palgrave Farm House, Sporle with Palgrave Harriet Dixon, servant, s, 26, Swaffham Head of House Ann Wells Can't find anything for Jeremiah I'm afraid - there aren't many Dixons born in either Sporle or Swaffham I can do you a list if you think it will help. Emma. P.S. Did you get the list of Elliffs I did for you last night?

Thanks Emma The names are as follows Harriet Dixon b 1866 Sporle Norfolk and Jeremiah Dixon (female) b 1875 Sporle Norfolk. Good luck Yvette

What names are you looking for? I could try on the 1891 census Emma.

c Could some kind person help me please, i have just found my gggrandmother, with the help of the 1881 and Free BMD,with a fairly unusual birthplace. As she was living 'in' i wasnt able to find any of her family details, so went looking for the surname with the same birthplace and found 2 females of similar ages, however they are listed as living in a workhouse, so not much help there! lol. I was wondering if i would be able to track them through the 1891. If not has anyone any ideas on where to look next? Many thanks Yvette
