Thanks Trish
So William and Mitchell were both born 12 August but one year apart. Is that correct?

Thanks again! Any mention of a Sarah Barritt, Mary's daughter, born in 1786 in Tittleshall?

Sarah does not appear to be on FreeREG. Have you checked Familysearch.Org for her?

Yes Trish - no luck there. Sarah Barritt was born in Tittleshall in 1786 and married Lewis Wilcher 28 Feb 1810. No other info,

Hi Trish
I went back to LDS and found a 2nd Mary Forby, Father Thomas Forby and mother Susan (probably Harvey). They were married 11 Oct 1757 and their Mary was christened 6 Oct 1765 at Stoke Ferry Norfolk. There is also a Mary Forby, married Henry Francis, 12 Nov 1770 at Tittleshall, as well as a Mary Forby marrying William Barrett 25 Mar 1777 at Tittleshall. There also seem to be a lot of Richard Forby's around at this time and I was wondering if you could please check your resources for more Mary, Thomas or Richard Forby in Norfolk

Hi Jason46,

Ok, lets start again;
Did your Mary Forby marry William BARRETT?
If so from what I have found she died 1839 (you have Mary 1759-1809)

This is the Burials I quoted earlier;
Burials;
St Mary, Tittleshall;
WILLIAM Barrett, 14 Feb 1806 age 63 (birth c 1743)
MARY Barrett, 7 Nov 1839 age 81 (birth c 1758)****

The Mary born c 1765 to Thomas/Susan would be too young to marry William Barrett in 1777.

The Mary who married Henry Francis 1770 would have to be born c 1750
From FreeREG she may have been Bapt 14 May 1749 at Tittleshall to Thomas/Mary Forby.

I dont have access to any Norfolk Records other than on-line ones, ie F/S.Org and FreeREG etc .

In my opinion Mary who married William Barrett is the Daug of Richard and Bapt 1759.

Trish :)

This is my info:
William Barritt (not Barrett) born 1743, England, died  14 Feb Tittleshall, Norfolk, married Mary Forby 25 March 1777 at Tittleshall. She was christened 27 Dec 1759 at St Mary, Tittleshall, so she was 16 years younger than him. Mary Forby's parents could be
(1) Richard and Anne from Tittleshall or Belaugh, Norfolk, or
(2)Thomas and Susan from Stoke Ferry, Norfolk.
They had 6 recorded children, and my Sarah is not one of the 6, but it is the only Barritt family in Tittleshall, so i may be completely wrong. I already have Mary's father pencilled in as being Richard Forby, born 1735. There is a Richard Forby, christened 7 Mar 1735, son of Thomas Forby widower and Elizabeth Mitchell, who died 31 Jan, 1749 (LDS records)
What do you think -

As I said earlier I think yours is the Daug of Richard.

The Mary born c 1765 to Thomas/Susan would be too young to marry William Barrett in 1777.

I believe you are correct but I still don't have my Sarah being a child of Mary Forby. Mary has 6 known children but Sarah isn't among the 6 - Bummer!
