Title: George DUCKETT Born 1754 Norwich, Norfolk - Ancestry help please..
Post by: rbell35 on Thursday 22 August 24 09:13 BST (UK)
My ancestor George Duckett was born 28th January, 1754 in Norwich, Norfolk, son of an Edward DUCKETT and Margaret (spelt as Margrett). I notice an Edward DUCKETT married a Margaret LINDLEY on 4th September, 1730 in Postwick, Norfolk, but am unsure whether these are the correct parents due to the early marriage date. However I am seeking advice please on how to identify the correct parentage of George and hence opening up a definite ancestral line before that time. Thanks, cheers, Rob - Australia

Good Morning
If you look at George and his siblings we have
Thomas 6.12.1730 St Michael at Thorn
Thomas 2.4.1732
Edward 25.8.1737 St Mary coslany
Elizabeth 16.12.1738
Mary 20.1.1739 st Peter Parmengate
Martha 22.2.1740 St Martin at Place
Edward 6.2.1742 St George Tombland
John 25.3.1744 same
Frances 26.4.1745
Edward 14.1.1747
Elizabeth 18.3.1749
George 28 .1.1754

I can't see Margaret but there are gaps she would fit in.
So the marriage in 1730 would fit nicely.
Burial Edward 1705-20.6.1782 St Peter Parmtergate.

Margaret was the daughter of Thomas and Margaret Lindley of St Juliens bapt 18.1.1707 also a wool/worsted weaver.
Siblings Frances 21.2.1697 ,George 7.2.1700 ,Elizabeth 11.8.1710 and Henry 17.2.1711.
So George was named after his Uncle George Lindley.
