Title: THURSTON - Bakers in Newmarket
Post by: tenbarbob on Monday 23 January 06 13:18 GMT (UK)
Am trying to trace details of Robert Thurston who had a bakery business in Newmarket in 1884. I believe that this was in Wellington Street or Albion Street. I believe that the business went bankrupt, but know no more.
What happened to the family after that?
Robert was married to Hannah Filby 1878 in Norwich, and had at least 6 children.
Hope someone can help.

Hi Ricky 1
Many Thanks
I have the 1881 census info, but not the 1901.
East Tuddenham has been noted, but 1837 site does not give a Robert Thurston birth for East Tuddenham in <1838>. The only birth for Robert Thurston around 1838 is for Newmarket.
I have traced George since 1901, and know his history, but I have no idea what happened to the rest.

Many Thanks

Hi Ricky 1
Sorry, I did missed the 1891 info. I now need to know what they were doing in Norwich as well.
Thanks

Hi,
Just saw this topic and the name THURSTON got my attention so I was wondering if your THURSTON could be related to a George THURSTON who's occupation is listed as a Tailor and Draper in 1861 Census would he?

George  THURSTON married Euphemia BREEZE

Does this ring any bells?

Hi
Sorry, but no link appears at present. The branch of the family I am looking at although bakers in Newmarket as above came from the Norwich area, and as yet I have no George, certainly not in 1861.

Hi Ricky 1
Yes, thank you very much.
Born in East Tuddenham as stated. Married (for second time) Hannah Filby on June 16th 1878 in Heigham, Norwich(Church of St Philip).
I am now looking to trace more details of his father (Daniel) as listed in 1841 census. Aged 40 in 1841, he appears to have been born in 1801.
Now really need Daniels birth cert/details, but am still searching.
Have joined nfhs, as I am 200 miles away from norfolk.
Thanks for your help
