Help tracing Thirkettle/Thurkettle family
« on: Monday 08 January 07 13:38 GMT (UK) »
Hi I am trying to trace my G Grandmother's family her maiden name was Elizabeth Thirkettle & married Robert Docking in 1856 at Shoreditch London.Both families were from Norfolk the Dockings from South Lynn & I believe the Thirkettles were in the Freethorpe area, Elizabeth's father James was a carpenter & may have been married at Gt Yarmouth,at the time of Robert & Elizabeth's marriage he was living at no6 Crooked Billet Court,Shoreditch,London.The 1841 census has a family listed at Freethorpe & it is most probable this is the family I would appreciate any help in finding any info on this family.Robert & Elizabeth migrated to Launceston,Tasmania Australia in 1857.

Hi Peter

There’s this marriage in Great Yarmouth
James Thirkettle and Martha Harris 21 Dec 1834

Then there’s this family on the 1851 census, but I cannot find a 15 year old Elizabeth

James  THIRKETTLE Head   M 39   Carpenter   Moulton
Martha  THIRKETTLE Wife   M 37                   Freethorpe
Margaret  THIRKETTLE Daur U 10             Freethorpe
Isabella  THIRKETTLE Daur      1              Swaffham

Checker Street 1 Pearsons Cottages, South Lynn All Sts, Kings Lynn
HO/107/1829   Folio: 547, Page: 43

G'day Yokel
Thanks for the quick response I think that this could be the family in question,there is one possibility that on census night
  Elizabeth may have been a livein servant somewhere else??however I'll have to keep looking

Kind Regards
Peter

Thanks Yokel,
I think we may have the correct family,how do I get the birth of Elizabeth??if James was married in Gt Yarmouth then in all probability Elizabeth could have been born there
