Norfolk Lookup Requests / Re: 1841 Look up for SOUTH WALSHAM Please
« on: Friday 28 April 06 13:27 BST (UK)  »
1851 shows him as an inmate in a workhouse and coming from South Worsall.

Quite a few John Ringers in the Norfolk area but none seem the right date/profession/family

Couldn't find a suitable Sarah Ringer either - sorry.

Perhaps someone a bit cleverer than me at this can look for you.

Norfolk / Re: Burlingham (+Marjoram)- 1841 census?

Fantastic Dave! Thanks.

That's them - shame there's no older relative with them to take it a generation further. I'll have to plan a trip to Norwich Records Office.

The transcriptions do seem a bit dodgy on the 1841 census - I wonder if it wouldn't be a good idea to be able to edit the information if you know it to be wrong - such as they have on Wikipedia or IMDB.

Norfolk / Burlingham (+Marjoram)- 1841 census?
« on: Thursday 27 April 06 18:32 BST (UK)  »
Which enumeration district should I be looking in for Burlingham? I've tried to find my ancestors in the Blofield pages but with no luck.

I'm looking for Mary and Joseph Marjoram (b. abt.1780) - they appear in the 1851 census - as do their children - Robert, James and John - but I can't find any trace of them in the 1841 census. There seem to be a lot of mistranscriptions and names that haven't been transcribed at all.

Thanks for any help.

Norfolk / Re: Surname Interests, Blatch & Jary
« on: Thursday 27 April 06 17:10 BST (UK)  »
I came across a William Jary in the 1851 census - b. South Walsham, aged 82, Justice of the peace employing 56 men with 810 acres. His wife was called Mary, b. Burlingham, aged 70.

I believe he lived in Burlingham House (now a home for the mentally handicapped) and that my ancestors - Joseph Marjoram and his son John - were his gardeners.

I can't find Joseph on the 1841 census though - or Burlingham for that matter. Any ideas?

I also found this mention of the Jary's  in a transcription of a divorce case - It's intriguing reading but I can't quite work out what happened...
