Hi Ron,
I have been garnering much information from your website and I want to thank you. I have been helping a woman (who is married to a Jackson) with their Plowright ancestry.
[1]
William Plowright, born abt 1745 in Gaywood, Norfolk married my ancestor,
Jane Holdgate on 15 Feb 1767 at St Nicholas Chapel, King's Lynn.
Jane is the daughter of John (1709-n/a) and Ann (no surname)
Holdgate. She was born in King's Lynn and was baptized on 10 Nov 1743 at St. Nicholas Chapel, King's Lynn. She died on 11 Sep 1787 in King's Lynn and was buried at St. Nicholas Chapel on 13 Sep 1787.
[2] As well, one of my Hubbard ancestors,
Maria (or Mariah) Hubbard married John Thompson (1814-1892, Walpole St. Andrew; a labourer) within the Dec 1839 quarter, most likely, at St. Mary (the Virgin) Church in West Walton (marriage registered at Wisbech) ... St. Mary's was Maria's home parish. John was the son of William Thompson and Lydia Savage (married: 13 Dec 1802, St Andrew's Church, Walpole St. Andrew).
Maria Hubbard, the daughter of Thomas Hubbard (b. ca 1786, West Walton; d. 1839,Walpole St Peter, Norfolk) and Mary Jewson, was born in West Walton and baptized there at St. Mary (the Virgin) Church on 1 Nov 1812; she died within the Jun 1896 quarter, most probably in Walpole St. Andrew as her death was registered in Wisbech.
Mary Jewson, I believe, was the daughter of Solomon Jewson and Ann Vinnels (sic)
who married on 5 May 1793 at St Margaret's Church, King's Lynn. I am presuming this as Mary Jewson and Thomas Hubbard married at St. Margaret's so I'm left to think she came from King's Lynn.
My Hubbard family is from the Fenlands area although mainly in Norfolk; West Walton, Emneth, Walpole St. Andrew, Walpole St. Peter (where my great-grandmother, Mary Elizabeth Hubbard, was born), etc.
[3] On the The Ball of Hastings - The Fysh Family of King's Lynn (by Donald Reid, Australia), he has a George Holdgate associated with an
Unknown Smith. I have a George Holdgate, who's parents were John Holdgate and Elizabeth Smith.
John Holdgate (abt 1851-bef 1799);he may have been lost at sea as he was also a mariner. He married
Elizabeth Smith on 30 Aug 1773 at St. Margaret's Church in King's Lynn. I would have informed him myself but his e-mail doesn't work on the website (and nor does yours).
Elizabeth Smith, the daughter of Rev. William Smith and Abigail Brand (married 2 Feb 1736/37, St. Stephen's Church, Norwich) was born in 1749 in King's Lynn and was baptized on 27 Apr 1749 at St. Nicholas Church, King's Lynn. She died in King's Lynn and was buried at St. Margaret's in King's Lynn on 21 Jan 1802 at 53 years old. She had siblings but I'm not sure how many; I know 3 for sure.
I discovered, on my search for Margaret Goose, that her father, John Goose's name was also spelled 'Guse' and it was the same for his father, Leonard Goose/Guse.
If you would like further information, my e-mail address is *. I just thought you might like some additional information for what you have on your website.
Thank you so very much for doing much of the footwork that I would have needed to do in order to trace this woman's line of Plowright's. Your website is excellent. Thanks again.
Best wishes,
Heather Holdgate
Whitby, Ontario Canada
