Post by: jacsfamily on Friday 28 January 05 00:27 GMT (UK)

Does anyone have any connections with, or information on the Jafkins and Norris familes who lived in Portsmouth during the 1800's.

William Jafkins and wife Fanny Norris

and Fannys parents

Henry Norris and Louisa Byles (Biles)

Thanks

Jackie

I have a connection with William Jafkins and Fanny Jafkins nee Norris.They are my great great grandparents. Fanny remaried in circa 1880 to a Newman Batman.William and Fanny also had a daughter called Alice.
My search to find Williams paents has come to a stop at William I cant find him on any census.

Hi Mark
I think you have already been in touch with my sister, Carol.
We are not convinced that Louisa Biles was Fannys mother now. Her father Henry, apparantly was a publican and there is a Henry Norris at 1871 who is a Beer Seller and grocer, married to Louisa.  It was a long shot.  The Jafkins family seem to be a very difficult bunch to trace.
