Norfolk Lookup Requests / Robert Land
« on: Wednesday 22 November 06 04:27 GMT (UK)  »
Born in 1728.  I am looking for a birth record for him in hopes of linking him to other Lands. Also looking for a  marriage record to Sarah _?__.  Probably at Wicklewood.  His second wife was Elizabeth Carr also from Wicklewood Parish.
Thanks for any clues.

Hi Tati

Wow!  I am amazed at the amount of information you have uncovered.  I spent hours at the LDS family center and went around in circles.  I should then write away for the marriage certificates to confirm the information?  How did you track down the marriages?

Thanks so much

Hi Tanja

  Laura was the daughter of Robert  James Land.  She came to Nebraska in 1906, after Robert died, along with her sisters Ethel, Alice Louisa, and brother Fred.
  Louisa was Robert's sister.  The 1861 census has her as a cook/domestic for a Charlotte Brown in East Dereham in Norfolk.  It seems that Robert was the only one to leave for Somerset.  Louisa and her sister Elizabeth are the ones I am having difficulty tracking. 

Thanks

Hello Joburg, Tanja and Nicky.

Thank you for your help.  I went to the LDS church and was able to see the census from 1841 to 1901.  In Norfolk I think that James and Jemima were the gggrandparents.  I have been able to follow them along but have not been able to trace what happened to the daughters, Louisa and Elizabeth. I am very green at this but hope to improve.  As for the Somerset group I have ordered some microfilm to look at.

Thanks again

Lynda

Hello
I am a new poster looking for the family of Robert James Land, born in Norfolk, Ryston in 1844.  He moved to Somerset and had a family- Laura, Frederick, Alice and Ethel.  They moved to Nebraska in the early 1900's after Robert died.  There are descendants of these four children spread across the USA and Canada.  I am visiting England this summer to continue my research but am having a problem with tracking the Lands in Norfolk.  I would also like to research Robert's wife, Charlotte Elizabeth Martin, who lived in Catcott, Sumerset.  She was a "doorstep child".  Any suggestions as to where to go to find some information would be appreciated.
