My gt gt grandfather was born and bred in Shouldham Norfolk so I am assuming that in 1861 his parents lived there. Could anyone check for the surname Grief in this area for me. Many thanks.

James Grief 32 Head Ag Lab b. Shouldham
Rachael " 33 Wife "
Emma " 9 Dau "
William " 7 Son "
Jessey " 1 Dau "
Living in Shouldham
Found a Amey Grief 22 gen servant born and living in Shouldham
Hope your G-G-Grandfather is mentioned here as there were no others.
I also checked the 1851 and found these families again
Robert Greef 35 Head Farm lab
Sarah " 34 Wife
James " 14 son
Emer " 11 dau
Charles " 9 son
Priscilla " 6 dau
Sarah Ann " 2 dau
All born and living in Shouldham

I also found this family in Shouldham
William Greef 50 Widow farm lab b. Shouldham
Elijah " 24 Son Lab b. "
Mary " 18 dau "
Amey " 16 dau "
So then I tried the 1841 to see who was in Shouldham then and here they are
Robert Greef 26 Ag lab
Sarah " 25
James " 3
Amey " 1
William Greefe 35
Alice " 19
Elijah " 14

Wow many thanks Angela that should keep me busy for a while. If I don't speak to you before - merry xmas and prosperous new year to you and yours. Jean

Had another look through the 1861 census for Elijah and found this one
Elijah Greef 34 Ag Lab b. Shouldham
Sophia " 29 "
Harriet " 7 "
Walter " 5 "
Lucy " 11mts "
Rhoda Hitteringham/hutteringham Mo in law 57 b. Stoke Ferry
William Hitteringham/hutteringham Bro in Law 18 b. Shouldham,
Don't know how I missed him the first time but I do find it easier looking for a full name rather than just the Surname
All the best and Ho Ho Ho merry xmas !!!
-
Thanks Angela Robert and James in the first message are brothers and I think it is possible that Robert is my gt gt grandfather so many thanks again.

Hi glad the info was useful. I would have thought Robert and William were the brothers possibly.
James is Williams son living with him in 1841 age 12 then newly wed in 1851 age 22
if Robert was James brother William would have been 9 when he had him!!!!
Hope you sort them all out. All the best Angela
-
ok you caught me out my research wasn't intensive just quick could be the wrong james but robert did have a brother james. Good job i had intended looking into it in more detail after xmas!!!!!
