                                 ***********************

I would like to have a hunt for the origins of my 3xgt grandparents. 
My 3xgt grandmother was Anna Whitup, and she was born around 1823.  She most frequently gives her place of birth as Bungay, Suffolk, but also gives a range of other places as well.

When she married my 3xgt grandfather in 1848 (Paston, Norfolk), she gave her father’s name as Robert Whitup (not noted as deceased). 

My 3xgt grandfather was James Richardson, bn c. 1824 in Edingthorpe (according to the census returns).  The Edingthorpe parish records do not appear to be online, but I have had a look through the Bishop Transcripts on the family search website, and see no record of his christening.

On the 1848 marriage certificate, James gives his father’s name as George Richardson, brickmaker (again, not noted as deceased).

Witnesses to the marriage were Lydia Richardson – assume that she is a relation to James, but haven’t managed to find the link yet, and Charles Remblents who was in the same household as Anna in 1841.  What is the connection between the Walpoles/Remblents/Whitups?
I have all the census returns for Anna, and all except 1841 for James.

Yay!  My hunt is up!

Please guys, help me batter down these brick walls!

I should also add that I have checked on the Norfolk constabulary website to see whether they have any record of James being a police officer.  He is not listed on an online database that they provide but I have emailed them with his dates to see if they have any other records that might shed some light on his career.

the 1851 census shows a George Richardson b. North Walsham lving in Edingthopre however he is not a brickmaker
this is the reference number
HO107;  1808;  537;  10

i did see that there was a Lydia Richardson wife of William Richardson on the 1851 census she was born Holkham (as was William) and they were living at Wells by the sea
this Lydia died in 1866 and her effects were granted to her daughter Harriet by now Dawson but in 1851 she was still a Richardson and at home with her parents
i am not sure that Lydia is connected as firstly she was born in a different parish and secondly she is a bit older than James nothing conclusive there

Thank you for the George find - that lead me to look at George Ritchson on the 1841.  He is in Edingthorpe, with a son called James (aged 14, so not too far out) and a daughter called Lider........ HO107; Piece 784; Folio: 4; Page: 3

Lydia A Richardson born Edingthorpe c1827 married a William Sampson, so sister of James?

They are here in 1871.
