Norfolk Lookup Requests / Re: Birth lookup please John Eggett
« on: Thursday 23 August 18 12:18 BST (UK) »
I have an interest in the Eggett family that lived in Tottenhill, Norfolk. My great grandmother, Hannah Eggett married a John William Lister. They produced several offspring including my granddad, Archie Lister, who in turn fathered my mother, Joan Maureen Lister.
Interestingly I have recently moved to the Norfolk area and am now living just 30 minutes from Tottenhill. My present focus is Sarah Eggett who was Hannah's mother, but I am having difficulty locating the identity of any father. I know from a marriage certificate that Sarah Eggett's father was John Eggett, a labourer, and I think I know that Sarah may have been in Downham Market Workhouse in 1841 (census record).
Would love to be able to fill in some more details about Sarah and am planning a visit to Norfolk Records Office to view Workhouse minute books. I might even be able to view Tottenhill Parish Records. This might give me an insight into Sarah's parentage.
Any signposting would be greatly appreciated. Some of the Lister family moved to the Exeter area and I know that they too are interested in the Sarah's life and parents.
