1841/1851 Norfolk census - Boughen

[fluffy1968]

I am looking for information on a William Boughen, born c1828 in Marham, Norfolk, he married a Harriet. By the 1861 census they are living in Canning town Essex but I think they were still in Marham untill 1852

Also looking for a John Boughen, born c1791 in Marham, Norfolk, he married a Mary. Of course he could have passed on by 1841/1851 but you never know!

Any other Boughens from the Norfolk area would be of intrest to me.

Thanking you in advance,

Sarah

Hi Sarah,

I'm hunting along this line for a friend of mine - trying to trace down via Henry Boughen & Mary Ann Springford, and their son Albert Victor Boughen. Family recollection suggests that there is a connection to Nelson/Preston families in West Ham area as well, would love to confirm that if possible.

I am looking for Robert Boughen who married Jemima Wing in 1871 at Downham Norfolk.  They had 5 children, James, Harry, Albert Victor, Alma and Mary Priscilla.
Any help much appreciated.

My ancestors came from Marham but the name was Bowman. I have found it spelled as Beaumont, Bone etc, but I had never thought of Boughen, thanks, claytonbradley

Hi Trish

Thanks for your reply.
After looking for different name spellings i found Mary (mother) and Robert in the 1861 census under Bougon.
I can't find his parents in the 1841 census though.

Kind Regards

Jenny
