William Haines and Maria (or Mary Ann) Mansfield

[Eyesee]

If you go to the Pilotsearch part of the Familysearch website and look for the Norfolk PRs that are available there, you will find the marriage of William HINES and Maria Ann MANSFIELD at Blakeney 23 Sep 1851 - Blakeney marriages 1837-1901 image 65

These are actual scans of the original registers not transcripts. You might find William Robert's baptism as well.

Thank you very much, Ian . . .

but I feel so klutzy: I tried typing in Haines, Hines, Mansfield, Maria, etc. and did the refined searches—but came up with nothing. 

I'm amazed how you and others can find this info so easily. 

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, would you mind telling me what stats you typed in to get this info you've given me.

Thanks much,

Jack

You will not find anything from searching as the images are browse only.

When you are on the opening page do not put any names in the search box, but click on the Search or browse our record collections link under the search box. That will bring up a map of the world, with links to the various areas. Select Europe.

You should then have a list of the various collections they have from Europe. Scroll down to the bottom to United Kingdom, and there will be an option for England, Norfolk Parish registers. Click on that.

On the left of the screen will appear the list of the Norfolk Parishes, just scroll down those until you get to Blakeney, and click on that. Then in the centre there will be a list of what is available, baptisms, burials, marriages, etc. Click on the Marriages option at the bottom.

On the right side will appear a list of the years available. Select 1837-1901, which will open up a line under it that says View Images. Clicking on that will open up a black viewing window under with image 1 eventually loading in it, which is the register cover.

At the top right of that it will have Image 1 of 178. Select the 1 in the box and type in 65, then hit Enter and your image will appear. You can save it to your computer then if you want to as well.

Hope that helps. As I said earlier the Norfolk PRs are not indexed and you can only browse through the images.

Thank you, Ian and Carole . . .

for all your help.  I can't tell you how much I appreciate it.

Ian, I browsed, as you instructed, and found Maria's family.  I also looked to see if William Hines (Haines) and son William Robert Haines were both born in Blakeney, and didn't find anything.  So that leads me to believe that William Hines and his son were born elsewhere. 

Although I've not checked all the birth records in the Blakeye-Norfolk section, from what I've seen so far, no Haines are on written on the pages.

I've just re-read the burial registry for William Robert Haines from the Anglican Diocese of Montreal, and I see that it's only his mother who's from Blakeney, as it is written: "William Robert, son of William Hopkins Haines and of Maria Ann Mansfield of Blakeney, Norfolk ...."  There is no comma after Mansfield. 

Carole, I'll look into trying to get a copy of the marriage certificate. 

Until then, the search continues . . .   

Good day to you both, 

Jack

If you were able to see the image, then you should not need to get a copy of the marriage cert from the GRO, as the info will be exactly the same. The image is the actual signed church register, whereas the cert from the GRO is a copy.

Oh, I see, Ian.  Thank you.  You've just saved me some money.

Have a GREAT day!

Good morning, Everyone,

From the enclosed certificate, below, would anyone know offhand the name of the Blakeney church shown: No. 127—William Hines and Maria Ann Mansfield.  The church in doesn't appear to be Anglican. 

Thank you,

Jack
