BOWLES family old Buckenham area 1800s

dsmillersuk — 2009-11-26 15:30:38Z

Does anyone have access to the 1821 and 1811 Norfolk census - I am particularly interested in the BOWLES family from the old Buckenham area. If anyone could tell me of any Bowles in that time.
I am also keen on finding the baptism of William George Bowles born 1820-1830. on the 1841 census he says he was born old Buckenham(and also on the 1861 census ) but on the 1851 he says oldbury. I know his father was called John Bowles. thank you

William YARRINGTON, co-proprietor of the Norwich Mercury, & Richard BACON

jyarring1 — 2009-11-24 13:29:51Z

I'm trying to track down a William Yarrington.

I understand he was co-proprietor of the Norwich Mercury and a son-in-law of Richard Bacon. I'm trying to establish which Richard Bacon it was.

I can see that there were three generations of Richard Bacon involved with the Mercury and the elder married a Katherine Kirby.

I have found a marriage record for William Yarrington and Catherine Kirkby Bacon in Bedingham but I don't know the year. I would like to find out the names of their children.

It sounds like there's a conncetion with my gt gt gt Grandfather. He was Frederick Kirby Yarrington who emigrated from Norwich to Sydney in 1840.

Re: ROBINSON family in Norfolk

Hello

Beatrice Matilda BANGAY brn abt 1875 and Adelaide Annie BANGAY brn abt 1878 Walsingham, Norfolk. Mother would appear to be Millenda/Millinda/Malinder/Milliner Mary Ann BANGAY brn 12 July 1857, Walsingham.

Millenda Mary Ann BANGAY married Henry ROBINSON 1881.

1891 Census Mary Ann and Henry were living at Chapel Allerton,Yorks also listed there were Beatrice M and Annie surname given as ROBINSON ages abt same birth place given as Walsingham.

1901 Census Family had moved back to Norfolk Beatrice and Annie not with them other children as per 1891 census.

I found a Beatrice Matilda BANGAY marrying John RICHES 1900 and Annie BANGAY a servant living in Hornsey, Middlesex.

If this is the right family it would appear that Susan BANGAY was the mother and her daughters Milliner Mary Ann, Agnes Elizabeth, Matilda were all born out of wedlock.

1881 Census Francis and Susan JACKSON also living with them Millinda and Agnes E, BANGAY step daughters and Beatrice M and Adelaide A grand daughters.

Hope you can make sense of all that and possibly find a link to the people you are looking for.

Good Luck

jbboult04 — 2009-11-23 00:05:39Z

Hi Loraine,
Tom Bilham is not part of my Bilham family but I do have a tree for this Bilham clan based on Old Buckingham. I am not active on this tree except where i can find older data which might link all the localised Bilham families together.
Thomas was the son of James b 1853 in OB d 1924 in OB and Emma Elizabeth Bowen b 1849 OB . They married in 1877 in OB.They had 8 children including Thomas b 1882 d 1959 Wayland.
Thomas married Emily Spencer b 1883,d 1959 in Swaffham in 11903. I only know of two children:- Edith I b 1913 who married a Cook and Katherine M b 1922 who married a Sharp.
I cannot trace tem further as the name changes. If you know of any sons I do have the database to track them further.
I do have more detail of James's children and his parents if you are interested.
Let me know if you get this data and if you need more ddetails. How are you related to Tom?

Re: CROTCH name/Norwich area

foxxy65 — 2009-11-22 00:00:24Z

Hi Bill,

I have Stephen Crotch b abt 1750 Norwich who married Mary Ann Bell b abt 1760 Norwich. They had the following:

Stephen b 1782 Norwich
Rachel b 1785 Norwich
Benjamin b 1788 Norwich
Mary Ann b 1790 Norwich

Benjamin Crotch (above) born 1788 Norwich who married Mary Jones in 1818 at Norwich. They had the following children:

Benjam Samuel b 1819 Norwich
Mary Ann Turner b 1820 Norwich
Hannah b 1821 Norwich
Sarah Ann b 1826 Norwich
Elizabeth b 1829 Norwich
Louise b 1831 Norwich
Mary Ann b 1834 Norwich
Selina b 1836 Norwich
Julia b 1840 Norwich

Julia b 1840 is my great great grandmother. Can confirm Julia and her parents with Brittish Census and IGI. Stephen and Mary Ann only can rely on IGI. Unfortunately, I don't have famous William in my findings. Are you able to help or is there any connection?? Hoping this finds you as I have found your name on other websites, but old email addresses.

Re: George ROBINSON, b. 1808 in Wells next the Sea, Norfolk and Mary SEEKER

Thank you for your response, I am not too sure that we are looking at the same person, I believe that seeker was Mary's maiden name. Before she married George Robinson, however, there is still a slim possibility that we may be looking at the same person. I will do some research on Mary secker. Thanks Su

George born in 1808 in Wells next the Sea, Norfolk, UK. He married Jane Seeker In 1854, and he died in 1887. It appears he may have had a wife Sophia. Prior to his marriage to Mary, it also appears that he fathered seven children three in one marriage and four in the second marriage. Any help would be most gratefully appreciated. Yours, P. V. Robinson.

Hi, he's my great great-grandad, and i 've reached a deadend with him. I think its to do with the birth place being Norfolk. The nearest i've got is a John Wallis in suffolk similar age and father was an agricultural labourer (mother called Maria), but my dad insists he was scottish so I'm stuck!

Re: Jane Octavia Townshend BROOM - B 1857 - Upton , Norfolk

90sum3 — 2009-11-19 13:26:47Z

Hello

Just been looking at your post. I did find a Jane Broom brn abt 1857 on 1881 census listed as servant living in Gt Yarmouth at public house run by Hannah LACEY although it gave her place of birth as Acle.

Interestingly I found a Jane Octavia BROOME marrying Alfred RYE 1891 Norwich it looks like the right one as he was down as lodger with the family on 1891 census.

On 1901 census both are living in London although their ages are abt 10yrs out from previous.

Good Luck

RICKWOOD family, Thetford, 1900-1920s

jenmacg — 2009-11-11 21:04:50Z

We are looking for information about the family of Evelyn May Rickwood, born in Thetford in 1909.

We know that in the Evelyn grew up living with her parents and a(t least one) brother at Thetford Cemetery, where her father worked, until she moved away for employment in her mid teens.

We also know that sadly Evelyn died in 1989 in London, long before we knew anything about her, but suspect she may have relatives/descendants who still live in that area. We would really love to find out anything about Evelyn, her family, or anyone who knew her, in order to fill a few gaps in the mind of a now elderly foundling and his (really interested!) family, who first found out anything about his parentage last year.

Any info (or tips, cos I'm new to this!) would be really greatfully recieved.

Many thanks,
Jen.

Rebecca LUBBOCK b. Great Yarmouth, Norfolk (married to Captain John MOODY)

hknops — 2009-11-10 21:01:00Z

My family tree has Rebecca Lubbock (1807-1846) who was married to Sea Captain John Moody (1801-1872). Rebecca was born in Great Yarmouth, Norfolk, England. My mother has the family tree that indicates Rebecca's parents were Sir John Lubbock and Rebecca. Birth records indicate her mother's name was Rebecca Tooke, but possibly it could be Tuck. My great grandmother said there was a connection to Sir John Lubbock (1773-1840) because he was Rebecca's father. I know Sir John was married to Mary Entwisle but I have not yet found that he fathered a daughter named Rebecca. Can anyone provide further information on our Rebecca's parents? Which John Lubbock was her father? There are so many John Lubbocks and no records seem to match Rebecca.

Thank you!

Re: Rickwood family, Thetford, 1900-1920s

keith123abc — 2009-11-10 08:00:51Z

Hey there I don't know a lot about the Rickwoods, but I see you have added some of my people. Never heard of Evelyn May Rickwood, as they are not blood relatives. What I can share though is my great aunt Gladys Riley married married George Arthur Rickwoood in 1947, they had one daughter together Christine Janet Rickwood born 1947. However within a years time Gladys was diagnosed with T.B. so she gave her first daughter (to a previous relationship) to her mother to raise, and Christine to George's sister Violet Rickwood and husband Bertie Wales as they couldn't have children themselves. (and George didn't want to raise the 2 girls himself)
So Violet and Bertie adopted Christine, her name became Christine Janet Wales. but she passed in 1994.

Hi Sharon

I found that enrty and must admit didn't think about an earlier daughter. I think Sarah had a sister called Elizabeth who happened to marry the brother of Sarah's first husband (at least that is my theory based on the fact Sarah and George (Lawrence) lived in the same street as Elizabeth and Charles (Lawrence) Both girls show up in the census as from East Dereham, however on Elizabeth's marriage cert it shows the fathers name as Miles. On Sarah and George's marriage cert there is no fathers name or at least it doesn't appear to be as it is pretty smudged.
