Robert Flood & Phebe Leech

[taffy64]

Hi
Can you help?

I seek help with locating any info about my G.G.G.G. grandparents

Robert Flood was born about 1775 in/near Ashill or Sparham (depending which census you look at).
In 1841 he seems to be involved with a farm and in 1851 he is superannuated drillman.
He married Phebe Leech in March 1800 Ashil and had at least 4 children.
Do you know of this family and their ancestors/places of origin, are YOU related?

Hi Trish

Thank you for the reply, I'll look again at "Familysearch"

A brief note to all who are interested the spelling of Phebe is found as such on a parish record and it is not uncommon for spelling of a persons name to change depending upon who was entering it in the official record

[trish1120]

There are also quite a lot of Flood baptisms on Freereg including some of William and Sarah MACE . Sarah seems to be the sister of James Flood born 1802, 2 of the children of Robert and Phebe.

Possible marriage;
Mary FLOOD
Benjamin BRAME
11 October 1832, Astill, Norfolk

So were there 3 daughters and 1 son from marriage of Robert and Phebe?

BURIAL;
Phoebe FLOOD, St Nicholas, Astill, Norfolk, 23 June 1858, reg.no 597, aged 79
Robert FLOOD, St Nicholas, Astill, Norfolk, 20 December 1858, reg. 605, aged 84

Sometimes if you are lucky just posting stuff like this brings out descendants who are googling on the web

Cheers,
Trish

Hello Trish

You are quite right there were 3 children of Robert & Phebe
As the result of a chance visit to the Norfolk Records Office this is what I found about them, It might help.
James  b. 27 may  1801 Ashill  died Aug 1802 Ashill
James  b. 26 June  1803 Ashill  died 1877 Ashill
Sarah  b. 10 sept   1805 Ashill
Mary    b.   may 1808   Ashill

If there were more children I have not found them

[trish1120]

I found something, will have to look again and think Mary 1808 died and another was baptised 1815. This is probably the one that married 1832.
Are you descended from James?

Sorry, I am working on my Scavenger Hunt and 2 postings on NZ and Australia board at same time

Hi Trish

Please don't apologize, I'm grateful for your interest and help.

Yes I am descended from James, he is my g.g.g. grandfather (he married Maria Cater)
The Flood name changed at my grand mothers wedding to Winsor, so,
Robert & Phebe then
James Flood & Maria Cater then
Charles Flood & E.A Woodcock then
W.J. Flood
Gran
dad
me

Cross referencing & checking new info on ONE "board" is sometime hard enough, but 3 , you must be either extremely experienced at this or youv'e got 4 arms and 2 heads  (meant as humour not offense)

HEHEHE

Sometimes I feel like that

I will see what I can find and get back to you tomorrow.
Do you have Ancestry access?
