Hi Shannie
I left a message at the Denton website, but they never answered, alas.
I plan to visit Denton next March to look at the graves/ parish records/whatever, as my ancesters seem to hail from there. Is there anything I can do for you while I am there?

meles Hi I live in Alburgh and Brocks used to live in this house (amongst many others) and at Denton too. If you need anything covered here( on the ground so to speak), please ask.

Thanks Billy for that offer. Since I lasted posted, I have visited the area a couple of times and taken a lot of photos and recorded as much as I can from graves and so on. I found the house "Brock's Barn". I wonder who lived there?
But if I need more, I'll let you know.
I was intrigued to see that there's a Brock building company operating in the area. I know there was a Samuel Joseph Youngs Brock (a very very distant cousin!) in the early 1900's who was a builder, but I can't trace what happened to him. I wonder if they are connected?

Hi Meles,
I am Sandie, Billy's wife, Brocks Barn was originally a house then became a barn then got converted back to a house again and has an old timber frame, I think it was renamed Brock's Barn after the owner at the time. We have had Brocks and Youngs living in our house as I found them on earlier Census records.There is other stuff but I would have to check it out first as it is a few years since I checked them out.
Here a a few pages attached from the Millennium Magazine, if you can't open them satisfactorily let me know and I will get them to you somehow.

Hello,
My great grandfather was Samuel Joseph Youngs Brock. My parents were first cousins: Mary Payne do Thomas Edward Payne and Elsie Kate Brock and Peter Hall so Thomas Watson Hall and Edith Olive Brock.
I knew many of his 12 children as great aunts and uncles during my childhood, I was born and brought up in Ipswich, Suffolk and can remember the big family Christmases when there would be 24 of us around the tables.
My family tree: Hall Family Tree is on ancestry.co.uk if you would send me your email address I can send you and invitation.
I started researching the family after the death of my parents in April 2006 and with the help of my brother in law we have traced the Brock's back to 1066. They came over with William the Conqueror and as they were Sir's there were quite a few records. I also spent several days taking photo's of gravestones in and around Alburgh, Norfolk.
My great grandparents died in Ipswich in 1937 about 6 weeks apart.
It would be lovely to hear from you, I know that some of my great grandfathers sisters married and ended up in London and some of his sons too, they are the ones that I never met as a child.
Regards
Catherine M L Jones nee Hall
