Searching for family of Henry Keeble born Starston,Norfolk abt 1840. I think his parents were John Keeble and Keziah Vincent (b 1803 Norfolk)
Could someone have a look at the 1851 and or 1861 Census for me please. To see if this family has children Johnathan b 1831, Charles b 1836, George b 1838, Henry b 1840 and Alfred b 1844.Any others that might be there. I don't have access to those records.
On 1881 census, I found Henry Keeble 40 yrs born Norfolk, Coalminer, married to Margaret (?) age 37 born Northumberland. With children, Robert b 1869, Henry b 1870,John b 1871,Alfred b 1873 and Annie 1875 All born North Heaton,Northumberland. All liviing in Durham.
I think I found a marriage in Sept 1/4 of 1867 Morpeth, Durham for these parents.
Also on 1881 census I found Alfed b 1844, Starston, wife
Mary b 1848 Chathill,Northumberland, with daughter Ellen 12
Mother, Keiger Keeble 78 yrs. (I believe this is Keziah b 1803)
This family were in Bothal Demesne,Northumberland.
Both Henry and Alfred are listed as coalminers on the 1881.
I believe I found Henry's death 1894 Morpeth, Durham,Northumberland.
None of this has been proven yet, so any information and or confirmation would be greatly appreciated.
Regards Gidget :)

;DThank you so much Mort 29, that was just so very quick. I am in Australia and have no idea what the time is in UK. or where you are.
That confirms I have the correct family and gives me the parents birthplace to help me go back further.
This is so good. ;D ;D

Hi Gidget - I am also looking for info on the Keeble family of Starston, Norfolk. My great great Grandfather Thomas Keeble (b 1844) came to NZ in 1870. He was married at the time. That's all we know. Keen to know parents, siblings, what they did (he was a farmer here) etc .
-
I'm new at this! Mort29 may have found Thomas Keeble's family. the dates done't quite line up (he was born 10 May 1844) though but how many Thomas Keebles can there have been in Startston at that time and of round about that age?
-
You are right in that there was only the 1 Thomas Keeble born at this time, son of John and Kezia. However, looks as if the date you have is a year out. The birth is registered in the June quarter of 1845 (as Keble) so looks like his birthyear was 1845 and not 1844 which then agrees with the census. If you look at FreeREG you will see that a bunch of his older siblings were all baptised at Starston on the same day - 12/5/1844 - so obviously Thomas wasn't born by then or he'd be included in the bunch. He and a younger sibling when both baptised at Starston in 1851.
If Thomas was already married when he arrived in NZ in 1870 presumably he married in England but there are no marriages in the Depwade regn. district so he must have married elsewhere. Can you tell us the name of his wife and hopefully can then pinpoint likely marriage?

Thanks Annette. Unfortunately noone knows the name of my gggrandmother. She and Thomas Keeble came to NZ in 1870 or 1871. We think they had had two children in England that the eldest, Elizabeth, survived and married a Carey here and another child died on the journey.

Thanks

The wife of Thomas Keeble was Elizabeth Green, b. 3 NOV 1845, Harleston, Norfolk, England; Reg. Jan 1846 Stow V12 Page 439; mother Carman.
Her parents were Benjamin Green and Elizabeth Carman. She was baptised at the age of 5 just like Thomas Keeble: 16 Nov 1851 at Redenhall with Harleston and Wortwell, England.
Elizabeth died in 1926 in Palmerston North, New Zealand and is buried with her husband at Terrace End Cemetery.
No one could find their marriage in England because it wasn't in Norfolk but in Greenwich:
FreeBMD Marriages Jun 1868
GREEN Elizabeth Greenwich 1d 1021
Keeble Thomas Greenwich 1d 1021
You can look up these details and more in the New Zealand BDM at https://www.bdmhistoricalrecords.dia.govt.nz/

Looks like Thomas Keeble was in the army (5th Foot Guards) based at Greenwich until 1871 which explains marriage there in 1868. Daughter Elizabeth born June quarter 1869 Farnborough.
