Unfortunately the registers for St Michael-at-Thorn appear to have been destroyed, along with the church, in one of the 1942 bombing raids on Norwich. It also appears that the ATs/BTs are in very poor condition, making accurate transcription almost impossible.

It's amazing so many records survive at all considering the age of some of them!
We're lucky that it's possible to read any and even more lucky that people are prepared to risk their eyes transcribing them
