Walsoken look up- Wright Family
« on: Monday 01 March 10 22:32 GMT (UK) »
Hi everyone

I would be very grateful if some one is able to help me with a look up please. I know Walsoken is in Norfolk but I understand the registers are at Wisbech. Correct me if I'm wrong!

I am looking for the baptisms of Samuel b c8132 and Rebecca b c1834.

Their parents are John Pretty & Mary(?) Wright. I don't think they were married in Walsoken but they could have been.

The second name Pretty has been given to each generation and I am looking
for proof it is here with either Samuel or Rebecca. I want to find out where Pretty came from.

Many thanks

Carol

I guess you have probably got them on the 1851 census. If not I see that John was born in Caldecott Rutland, and Mary was born in St Ives Huntingdon, so they may have married in either of these two places.

Yes, I am having trouble finding confirmation of their baptisms as well.

That's the trouble with living so far away. I can't just nip in to the record office.
My source isn't very reliable so I need to keep an open mind and check everything.

Many thanks

Hello SB

I know they are and I am on the south coast.

I was hoping someone may have a transcription
that they could do a look up for me.

Alternatively if someone is going to the record office
and could spare a few minutes I would be very appreciative.

Many thanks

Carol
