Marriage look up in Gressenhall/ Norwich

[sad]

Probably Tom's brother if I ever get further back than 1851

This gets worse! or better, depending what way you look at it!!!!!!!

Gressenhall Register Transcription has lots of Naylor/Nailor entries and one Keziah was baptised in 1825 but none around 1835.

No marriage of  Kezia to Tom Gee.

Checking the 1841 census of Gressenhall (as well as the Workhouse in the village) we see several Nailor/Naylor entries but no Kezia of the right age.  There is a James and Keziah, both 60 in 1841, so very likely connected.

On checking the Banns register for Dereham 1816-1855, we see:
Thomas Coke Gee, single and Ann Perkins single both OTP in Feb 1831 and the same couple agaion in Nov 1831!  Then in Nov 1834 Banns were published of Thomas Cook Gee (wid) and Hannah Rix single, both OTP.  This couple were married on Christmas Day.

So this information gives you even more to get confused with.

Sorry.

As you say even more to get confused about.I have been trying to sort this out for years and thought the 1841 census would give me all the answers but as you say it doesn't!
I thought that my main problem was going to be Tom being born in Ireland, but Kezia doesn't appear to have been born or died at least anywhere that would tie in with other information we have.
Thanks for your time. Again I will save the information it ma come in!!

A question Teddy! Are there gravestones at the Church in Gressenhall?

[sad]

Is there a chance that the 1861 census could be wrongly worded.

If you look at the original on Ancestry. Kezia. William and George are at the bottom of the household. With the wrong relationships to householder and the wrong ages but a bit of a coincidence with the names!!??

[Pinetree]

I have Kezia's other children,Tom Cook Gee and Edith Mary Gee's birth certificates and both say maiden name of mother is Naylor. It was only when I saw the 1871 I realised there was George because he had left home by 1881. I know about the Knapton ones and I too am flummuxed with the coincidence of the Tom Cooke but as yet have not found a connection.

Not sure I've kept up with all of this but could George have been Thomas's child by his first marriage to Ruth? As there seems to be a big gap before the next children with Kezia maybe this is a second later marriage.  In this case Kezia may also have been married before so may not have married Mr Gee under her maiden name of Naylor.

That's what I wondered too Pinetree.

Also, was he really born in Ireland (he's dittoed from the previous household) or could it be a mistake by the enumerator?

Very mysterious.

[sad]

its amazing what others see that should stare me in the face.  I have found George under the name Naylor in 1861 census so I have sent for his birth certificate which may or not shed light on this confusion

[Tati]

Are you talking about the one age 7 mo in Gressenhall?

I somehow thought he wasn't very likely:
a. the grandparents, James and Ann, have a daughter Keziah age 3 - not sure how likely it would be for them to have another daughter Keziah
b. His age and birthplace don't match the 1871 census.

Also ... can somebody else have a look at the 1881? RG11/4126 62 14 
1871 has her birthplace as Dereham and
1881 doesn't seem to have enough letters to say Gressenhall, does it?
