[susan p]

I have the marriage cert for Mary Cracknell giving her father as William she married in Feltwell (William Buckenham).I can not find any more info on the Cracknells.I believe William was born in Feltwell or Southery any help would be most welcome.

Susan, can I ask for a little more information please:

date of marriage?
bride and grooms ages? occupations?
William's father's name?
father's occupations?

Do you have the family on any census or would you like lookups?

Hi Susan,

Did the marriage take place in 1848? Is this the family in 1841?

William, son, 24, Ag lab, b. Feltwell
James, son, 18, Ag lab, b. do.

1861 still says Feltwell for William (occupation Ag lab)

This looks like my family.

Yes the marriage took place on the 8 Jan 1848.William Cracknell  is given as a labourer as is William Buckenhams father.
It states full age for William and minor for Mary.
I have no census results for the Cracknell.
Thanks for helping

Who was William Buckenham's father? I may be able to locate him in the census.

Do you think this might be William, Mary and children?

1861
RG9 peice 1138 folio 152 page 10
Westley Norfolk

William Buckenham head mar 34 Journeyman Blacksmith born Nfk Southery
Mary Ann wife 32 b Nfk Feltwell
Robert son 13 b Southery
Joab son 5 b Southery
(this is Ancestry's interpretation of the name - I don't know what it is)
Mary E daur 2 b SOuthery
John William son 9 mo b Westley

Can't see them in 1871 ....

[Ruskie]

This looks like daughter Mary E in 1871:
Sluice Rd, Denver
RG10/1867/129/6
In the household of ? Wooton annuitant
Mary E Buckenham unmarr 14 gen serv b Southery
(Ancestry has age as 16 and surname as Buckerham)

And a possible:
1871
RG10/1873/74/7
William Buckenham head mar 46 ag lab b Nfk Southery
Mary Ann wife 43 b Feltwell
Job son 15 b Methwold
William son 10 b Suffolk Westley
Susan daur 9 do
Anne(a) daur 4 do
Harriet daur 4 do
George son 2 do

Living next door to a George Buckenham and family
Ancestry transcribed the surname as Blickenham
address difficult to read - looks like Methwold and Southery Cor...?

[susan p]

My thanks think George will be Williams brother,if this William is mine can not understand why it says labourer as he was definitely a black smith.
the  fathers  of the bride and groom were ag lab.
William Buckenham (elder)was born c1887 I believe in Southery his wife was Elizabeth surname unknown.
William Cracknell born 1801 Feltwell wife Mary surname unknown.

Hi Susan,

Mistakes happen on the census. It looks like the same family in 61 and 71 - I wouldn't worry to much about the ag lab bit.

I'm having problems getting into Ancestry at the moment so can't help with further lookups - except that the 1881 is free, so I'll see what I can find.
