How far back have you traced your ancestors in Norfolk?

Need a kick start Becca My G.G Granfather was John Riches he married Ann Maria Chambers in Mileham  in 1848
I havent done the Riches for a while..

ONLY A GENEALOGIST WOULD REGARD A STEP BACKWARDS AS PROGRESS

It wouldnt allow me to vote, but the furthest I have gone back is the mid 1500s in Morston.

My one claim to fame is that most of my ancestors are from Norfolk with only a few coming from Suffolk.

My Mum & Dad are still living in the village where my ancestors were married in 1620.

I am a true Norfolk Dumpling.

Blyme now i see why you cant vote. Isn't it nice when family's stay put in one place? I Have one. until my G.Grandmother married and moved to London. Then her sister followed after also marrying in Mileham. The family had not moved away making research a lot easier. I never get over the wall to the 1700's though.
Did you defect from Norfolk?

I haven't been able to trace my rellies past those that emigrated to Australia in 1853.  William and Elizabeth Cross with sons John and Robert ( my own gggrandfather) who was born at Kings Lynn Norfolk 1853..

I voted for -1700.....but have also managed to get a little further back, although before then they were hopping backwards and forwards over the Suffolk border.



I have found a 'cousin' still living 3 miles from the house the family lived in for decades !

Hi Celia

No, I haven't defected.  I live about six miles from my parents.  In fact I found that my wife's family is all Norfolk too, so far and one of her ancestors married in our own Parish in 1810.

Another lived here in the 1891 census.

Lovely to be able to walk in the footsteps of my ancestors every day.

Call me an old softie if you like!!!

Hi Becca,
I voted for 1750, I suppose in a way I could have voted for 1700 but those ancestors between 1750 and 1700 are unconfirmed IGI references.  Whilst I treat IGI references with caution I'm pretty confident these will prove to be accurate, hopefully in the near future I'll be able to have them confirmed.

My Norfolk ancestors are Beales, Daltons and a Corke, they are located in Great Ellingham, North Walsham, St Mary in the Marsh Norwich and St Stephen Norwich.  My Dalton line moved to Coggeshall, Essex some time prior to 1796 where they worked as Master Blacksmiths.

My Norfolk ancestors are my biggest brick wall at the moment. As yet I'm not positive if they were from Norfolk or Suffolk (see my earlier post re Hopton)  

I havent been able to connect my BROGRAVE's directly to anyone yet, but I won't give up! The name became extinct late 1800's.
