William Garrett born b1795c Norwich

[swallowtail]

Hi,
Can anyone please help I am looking for any information on William he is on the 1841/51/61 and 71 census stating he was born in Norwich, I know there was about 30 churches but one census it states St Martins Plain, but I can not find that church the nearest to it is St Martin Palace , I would be grateful for any help, to set me on the right road before visiting Norfolk.

many many thanks

How does William appear on 1841-1871 census when your topic heading states b 1895??

You are asking for "any" information -yet state you have William on several census - could you be a little more specific on exactly what kind of information you require (to save duplicate look ups) and also give William's birthyear?

If you mean William Garrett b 1795 - his age varies from census to census

1851 puts his y.o.b.as 1794
1861 as 1792
1871 as 1790 -st martin place

Do I have the correct William???

Hi Suzard,

Sorry but all I have to go on is the census myself, I had no idea that my husbands family originated from Norwich and William was a shoemaker, sorry if I am asking to much, I hoped maybe someone that uses the Norfolk Records Office could check the baptism records for St Martin's.

Thanks

You are not asking too much - but you need to look at your original post and topic heading again

Have you made a typo in your heading???

If the year in the topic heading is 1795 then where did you get the y.o.b. of 1795 from?

His y.o.b. varies from 1790-1794 on census

Most probably someone will be able to check baptism records for you if they have a clearer y.o.b. - You really did ought to modify the heading of your topic - and give a broader age range -otherwise the wrong William will be looked for - I am only guessing that the William I found on the census is the one you meant as his y.o.b. differs from census to census -and differs by over a hundred years to the William in your topic heading??

The baptism that Suzard found at St Paul is almost certainly the correct one. St Paul was only a few hundred metres away from the church of St Martin at Palace. St Martin at Palace has had its baptisms added to the IGI up to 1812, in fact all the Norwich parishes except 5 have baptisms up to 1812 on the IGI.

 :)Apologies for the mistake in the date and thank you for pointing in right direction. Can I please ask if someone would check for Valentine Garrett 1772 St Margaret's Norwich for siblings or parents.

Thank you

Have you had this information from IGI?

If so - treat with caution as it is a member submitted entry and there is no definate date of baptism

There is an extracted marriage record of Valentine's marriage to Sarah Pillar 8 Aug 1791 if you want to look that up
