Three small bits about silk weaving in Norfolk. It seems to have been almost a dead trade by the time of your ancestor

If their origins a few centuries earlier were Huguenot then it might explain the rather odd surnames...

There's a public tree on Ancestry which states George Richardson married Mary Ann Grimshaw 6/8/1821 Paston, Norfolk - this would tie in with the birthplace given for Mary on the census i.e. Paston.

George and Mary Ann also had son Edward baptised at Edingthorpe on 20/2/1843 - neither his birth nor Thirza's seem to have been registered so doesn't look like you can purchase a certificate.

If that tree is correct then this looks like Mary Ann's baptism.

My goodness Captain, you'll certainly be some time!

Unusual names.. yes and quite a variety of spellings... I am currently doing a sweeping search of the 1851 for a John W* Suffolk.. maybe a while before I'm back.......

Thank you for the link to the ancestry tree, I'll have a look at that later.  I'm glad you couldn't see Thirza's birth ref either - I had a look but to no avail.

Looking at Paston  baptisms on familysearch Susanna gave birth to a son John after Mary Ann and earlier was this baptism.

I gave up with John W... sure someone else will spot him before I do  
What I have found tho' is rather interesting in the 1851.. the plot thickens...
Refering back to the Remblents families in 1841 we now find that ..

Rachel Ramblants [sic] is now Head of the family aged 40, no sign of her husband Edward at home.  HO107/1820/F472 Artichoke Inn, Broome, Norfolk
her daughters are living with Rachel:
Emily 13. A weaver of Silk b. Broome, Norfolk - Listed as 'Married'
Rachel 11 . At Home . b. Broome, Norfolk
Susanna. 7. At Home b. Broome, Norfolk

I think this is Edward Remblents,  ( Rachel's husband) right age, although listed as 'Unmarried' living with his parents Charles and Phoebe ?
I can't be certain as the transcription is by inital only -
Charles Ramblants [sic] 69. Head. Woodman. b. Ditchingham, Norfolk
P Ramblants. 71. Wife b. Hedingham, Norfolk
E Edwards. 41. Son  Woodman b. Ditchingham, Norfolk

The occupation woodman is the same, ? as to why he is living back with his parents as unmarried, perhaps Edward & Rachell had separated ?

So.. in brief. Anne Whitup was living with Charles & Phoebe Remblent in 1841 who are the parents of Edward ( married to Rachel) who in the 1841  are living a couple of doors away from John Whitup who is lodging with Harriet & Sally Remblent. Too much of a coincidence for the Remblent and Whitup family not to be connected I think, one of these is a grandparent possibly ?

[Captain2]

Sorry - Rachel is listed as Married - not her daughter Emily, slipped the line ..

[Captain2]

And .. I did it again, typing too quickly should read E Remblent! not E Edwards -

Sorry guys
