Hi,

on aurfing the internet I saw your interest in MANN/BETTS. I am a decendant of their son James Edward born 03 Mar. 1863 in Blickling, Norfolk. He was my great-grandfather.

The a.m. James Edward married Hannah Goodens and had 7(?) children:
Jane born abt. 1884
James born abt. 1886
Margaret born abt. 1887
Thomas born abt. 1888
Ethel born abt. 1895
Elizabeth born abt. 1897
William born abt. 1900

James was my grandfather who married Margaret Nixon. They had 5 children:
Wilhelmina born abt. 1908
Elsie born abt. 1912
James born abt. 1915
William born 12.Jan 1917
Isabel born abt. 1919, died 1920

Margaret died in 1919 shortly after giving birth to Isabel. I am sure that James remaried and had a number of children by his second wife. In any case he as good as deserted my father William and his older brother James. They both moved to the London area in the 30's

I am the youngest of three boys, my older brothers are living in the UK but I live in Germany.

It would be interesting to hear your iconnection to the family.

Regards,

Julian Mann
