Hi Brenda
I am searching Hazel also but sorry I don't have anything much to go on yet except that it is my Maternal Grandmothers maiden name and I know she was born in England somewhere between 1895 and 1905 I figure - she always made herself older when younger so she could work and so no one new the real age anymore - plus she refused to discuss any family she had over in England after she came to Canada - she was here by 1925

Hello Marliz

I'm sorry but I'm afraid I can't help you. Hazel didn't join my family until Sarah Hazel married my 3x Great Grandfather in 1805. She was born in 1786 in Gressenhall although some of her siblings were born in Scarning.

Although I have a few details of descendants of a brother the latest Hazel record I have is a baptism of 1803.

Maybe we'll be in touch later when you have managed to progress further back in time.

Hi

I have been doing a lot of research on Brocks in Norfolk, but not in the villages you mention. Mostly in Yarmouth, but also in the Denton area and Alburgh. Any use to you? I have several dozen of 'em, some linked to my tree, some to each other, but not mine, and some just floating about... The records date from the present day to the late 1700's.

best wishes

Hello Meles

Thank you for contacting me.

My 4x Gt Grandmother was Mary BROCK born 1747, daughter of William BROCK & Mary Gathergood who married in 1736 in West Bradenham. Their other children were: John 1737, Ann 1739 & William, all baptised in East Bradenham.

William senior was born about 1700, I don't know where but he married his first wife, Elizabeth Margotson of Scarning, in Wendling in 1733.

Do any of these names ring a bell with you?

Regards

Brenda

Hi Brenda

I have no records for any Brocks in the East Dereham area. The Records I have are for the area East of Norwich - my lot seem to have kept to the Broads.

If you come across any records pre-1800 for this area, please let me know. I will keep an eye out for your Brocks.

best wishes

John Coleman Blanchflower was my great grandfather. His father was a farmer in Knapton. John and his brother Timothy wre in preserved foods business in Great Yarmouth. Perhaps a family connection?

Hello Norm

Not that I'm aware of but my Blanchflower connection dates back to an Ann baptised in 1725 in Sporle with Palgrave & I have no details of descendants of any possible siblings, hers being the only baptism found so far. Sorry I can't help.

Hi, Brenda

I have in my wife's tree an Edward Annison b. abt. 1783, but in West Somerton. It's only about half an hour away by car!
