How far back have you traced your ancestors in Norfolk?

[Nick Carver]

I thought my ancestry was all Hull until I got an 1840 marriage certificate with Bramerton as the place of birth. Looking round (rather in the dark) for this man's father, I stumbled across some other people researching Carvers and lucklily got taken immediately back from the late 1700s (my earliest recorded Norfolk ancestor) to Thomas Carver born in 1680. One of the drawbacks of being gifted this research is that I am rather hazy about names and dates, unlike those ancestors I have had to discover on my own.

Hi I have actually traced my family back as far as 1790 to a village called Wood Norton where I have now hit a brickwall.The family name is DOUGHTY and they moved from there to Dover,Kent and then to Leicester.

I have recently come across a gggrandfather named Benjamin Benns who died in Battersea workhouse in July 1871 aged 87 which puts his birth c1784. On the 1871 census  for the Battersea area he gives his birthplace as Yarmouth and his occupation as bargebuilder. He spawned a few of bargebuilders in the London area.
I understand from various sources that the name Benns is of East Anglian origin. Need to know more about him.
Any other Norfolk Benns out there??
