Norfolk Lookup Requests / Re: William Robert Emms 1833

Brian :)

Thank you so much. I think I might go with this William Emms. He is the closest match I have and since I can't find any other ones in Wells-next-the-sea at that time, I think it is likely him.

The disorder with his birth date, could quite likely be an accident/ignorance at the time of his death (since that was in N.Zealand and confirming birth dates etc.. across such a distance at that time was likely difficult in 1901.)

Thanks again, and best of luck with your own research endeavours.

Norfolk Lookup Requests / William Robert Emms 1833
« on: Sunday 29 May 05 16:27 BST (UK)  »
I am looking for more information on William Robert/or Harding EMMS, born aparently in 1833. (From Cemetary Records) He moved to Nelson, New Zealand and was from Wells-next-the-sea. (though I guess he might not of been born there)

He was married in NZ in 1866

His occupation is listed as Mariner on his son's NZ Marriage Records.

I have some access to census records and have found a William Emms that is born in 1836.

Could this my William EMMS? I wonder if he *lied* about his age for some reason in later years. 

Any conjecture or thoughts welcome. I hope Norfolk is the right forum for Wells-next-the-sea.
Thanks :)
