Title: St. Bartholomew, Heigham, burials
Post by: Sus on Tuesday 30 January 07 16:53 GMT (UK)
Looking to verify burial dates of a Robert Silvey and his wife Elizabeth, abt 1764-1767.  I have no place of burial, but their children were baptised at St. Bartholomew.  Thanks very much.

Thanks for your replies.  That part of town was really hit hard during the War!  I appreciate your willingness to help.

Sincerely,
Susan

Hi
You may find the link below interesting, it covers the area of Heigham from the very early days right through to the latter, even if you cannot find nothing it gives a good insight into the area in question ;)

Thanks, I just looked at the link.  It was very nice to see the old church where some of my ancestors were christened, married, and buried. I didn't realized that part of the church is still stnading.   I didn't find any of my family in the prominent families, however!   Not to be expected.
