It wouldnt allow me to vote, but the furthest I have gone back is the mid 1500s in Morston.
My one claim to fame is that most of my ancestors are from Norfolk with only a few coming from Suffolk.
My Mum & Dad are still living in the village where my ancestors were married in 1620.
I am a true Norfolk Dumpling.

Blyme now i see why you cant vote. Isn't it nice when family's stay put in one place? I Have one. until my G.Grandmother married and moved to London. Then her sister followed after also marrying in Mileham. The family had not moved away making research a lot easier. I never get over the wall to the 1700's though.
Did you defect from Norfolk?

I voted for -1700.....but have also managed to get a little further back, although before then they were hopping backwards and forwards over the Suffolk border.
I have found a 'cousin' still living 3 miles from the house the family lived in for decades !

Hi Celia
No, I haven't defected. I live about six miles from my parents. In fact I found that my wife's family is all Norfolk too, so far and one of her ancestors married in our own Parish in 1810.
Another lived here in the 1891 census.
Lovely to be able to walk in the footsteps of my ancestors every day.
Call me an old softie if you like!!!

Hi Becca,
I voted for 1750, I suppose in a way I could have voted for 1700 but those ancestors between 1750 and 1700 are unconfirmed IGI references. Whilst I treat IGI references with caution I'm pretty confident these will prove to be accurate, hopefully in the near future I'll be able to have them confirmed.
My Norfolk ancestors are Beales, Daltons and a Corke, they are located in Great Ellingham, North Walsham, St Mary in the Marsh Norwich and St Stephen Norwich. My Dalton line moved to Coggeshall, Essex some time prior to 1796 where they worked as Master Blacksmiths.

I thought my ancestry was all Hull until I got an 1840 marriage certificate with Bramerton as the place of birth. Looking round (rather in the dark) for this man's father, I stumbled across some other people researching Carvers and lucklily got taken immediately back from the late 1700s (my earliest recorded Norfolk ancestor) to Thomas Carver born in 1680. One of the drawbacks of being gifted this research is that I am rather hazy about names and dates, unlike those ancestors I have had to discover on my own.

I have recently come across a gggrandfather named Benjamin Benns who died in Battersea workhouse in July 1871 aged 87 which puts his birth c1784. On the 1871 census for the Battersea area he gives his birthplace as Yarmouth and his occupation as bargebuilder. He spawned a few of bargebuilders in the London area.
I understand from various sources that the name Benns is of East Anglian origin. Need to know more about him.
Any other Norfolk Benns out there??
