Norweb/Norwebb Janetta

[snorwebb]

Hi

I am trying to locate a possible workhouse death record or admissions record for Glandford Brigg Workhouse.  Janetta (aka Jenetta) Norweb (aka Norwebb) was buried on 5 Apr 1817 in Wrawby Lincolnshire so her death would have been around then. 

Any other parish records under the name of Norweb or Norwebb (particularly Thomas, George or James) that anyone comes across would also be of great use as any person with that surname belongs to the same family.

She wrote her memoirs while at the workhouse and they were published in 1812

Many thanks

Hi
You may have already seen them. but Freereg has 4 burial records and 1 marriage record.  When searching just tick Lincolnshire and be sure to tick the 'soundex' box.

happy hunting

Thank you for the heads up.  Great info. Cheers
Now just wondering about Brigg workhouse death records or admissions registers if anyone knows about them or is able to visit the lincolnshire archives.

Thanks

Hello for a Norweb on the North American side of the Atlantic.  I don't know what happened to an extensive research project my paternal grandfather had done many years ago, but will check with my sisters on the off-chance either of them know what became of it.

Lovely to hear from a fellow Norweb/b.

I have started to glean more and more information about the family both here, in America, Canada, Australia and Botswana.  There are loads of offshoots but every single Norwebb or Norweb I have come across has been linkable to the same family tree so I gather that there is only one Norwebb/Norweb family in existance - which makes family research so much easier.

It would be great if you could locate any of your grandfathers research.  I know the memoirs of Janetta were revived by your side of the family and my dad met with Raymond Henry Norweb many many years ago at a huge family get together in England.  We also received communication from him when he was looking at putting an appendix in the memoirs. 

I have a copy of the memoirs of our ancestor and it makes for very interesting reading.  How much of it is true is anybody's guess but my research has found that lots of the people and events did actually happen - whether they happened to her or not is another thing.

Cheers

I would suggest that you contact Lincolnshire Archives direct and ask what documents they hold for Glanford Brigg workhouse for this period.
Probably a lot of the workhouse documents are available only as 'originals', and due to building works access to original documents is currently restricted.

Raymond Henry Norweb was my grandfather, so it appears I would be ferreting for something you may already have in hand. 

[snorwebb]

Not necessarily.  I am sure your grandfather had gleaned a wealth of information I cannot access, in particular information about the American branch of the family. 
I know it started with Henry Norweb and Jeanne Palmer going over to America.  i can then follow the line a bit but become easily confused once we get to the next generation after Raymond Henry Norweb Jr and Elizabeth Gardiner. 
If you could fill me in via email to *  on how the line moves from there I would be very grateful.

Thanks
Sue

R Henry Norweb, Jr. was my father and Elizabeth Gardner Norweb my mother.  Note the correct spelling of her maiden name - Gardner.
