There is information about the workhouse here:
http://www.workhouses.org.uk/Loddon/

That says that any records will be at Norfolk Record Office.

But Admissions & Discharges are only available 1772-1785, and 1845-1923.

Hi,

Have you seen this christening found at familysearch?


James LAKE 
21 Feb 1824 
Toftmonks, Norfolk  
Father:  James 
Mother:  Martha 


Although the dates are slightly different to the ones you mention, I thought it close enough to mention. Where do you find the birthdate of 25 Feb 1825?

Regards,
Daisy

Many thanks for the replies but I have this info and can not verify any of it. Birth date provided by great grandmother and that is also confusing the issue.
