Look up Birth in East Ruston. Norfolk Please
« on: Monday 21 August 06 16:13 BST (UK) »
Hi,
This is my first posting on the Norfolk site but i believe my tree starts in Norfolk now and not Sussex.
I am researching John HELSDEN (aka HELSDOWN, ELSDOWN). He married Jane Foster in 1820 at Guestling, Sussex. However i cant find anything on him prior to this marriage and have reached my 'brick wall'. On ancestry there are many Helsdens registered in East Ruston, Norfolk and im hoping to find him there. I think he would have been born c 1790 - 1800 (he was aged 40 in the 1841 census, sussex).
I would be so very grateful for any help.
Just to clarify...JOHN HELSDEN. BIRTH ? 1790 - 1780 probably EAST RUSTON. NORFOLK.

Many Thanks in anticipation  ;D
