Family Search - Norfolk Parish Registers

[Yorkslass]

Hello Jen and Bill,

Essex Parish Registers are available, and you can see the original images - but it's a pay site from the Essex Record Office.

I got a subscription and it was well worth it!

Hello Yorkslass. Thanks for the info about the Essex Record Office site. I will certainly investigate.

Bill, I have no 'Wrights' in my tree from Needham. The names I have are Mayhews, Sucklings and Mounts amongst others. I have now traced the Sucklings to Chelmsford and back to Finchingfield.

My Norfolk research is mainly for my in-laws, the Riches family, the Crisps, Simmonds and White family around Ditchingham, Hedenham and the Diss area, but none on the coast. They too have been in Norfolk for centuries.

Hedgerow, I wonder if, in your CRISP research, you have come across John Crisp, who married Tabitha CONE on the 9th September, 1794 in Hethel.
 5 of their children were born in Bracon Ash & the 6th in Wicklewood.

I have some details about Tabitha, her parents, maternal grand & gt gparents were, but nothing on John prior to his marriage, nor any details about his death, despite much searching.

Tabitha was a labourer's widow in Bracon Ash, receiving parish relief at the time of the 1851 census. She died in 1856.

Any clues gratefully received!

Alwina.......a very GREAT help! Thank you indeed for that! To finally have some dates to work from in the pursuit of John and his forbears is very encouraging....(now to "go & ogle" an image of St Nicholas Church....yay!)

Hearty cheers,
Ann 

[annmck]

oops, forebears......

btw, Alwina, any Kemp/Everard marriages in your lot? (Robert Kemp to Ann Everard, 5th August 1791 in Rattlesden, Suffolk?)

Glad to help. Haven't found any Kemp/Everard yet, they didn't move much from Hevingham/Aylsham just up and down the same road really

Ann, sorry to be so late in replying - have been off the radar for a while. It looks as though you have some good answers anyway. I can find  nothing for my CRISP family before Elizabeth Crisp born Norwich 1838 so would have been no help with John and Tabitha. Elizabeth went on to have three children with John White from Gressenhall and later married Abraham Frakes but I don't know who her parents were for sure although I think they were William and Elizabeth. There are no Crisps in my tree from Bracon Ash, Hethel or Wicklewood so I don't think we are connected.
