Dunger Family. Completed.
« on: Sunday 25 November 07 08:40 GMT (UK) »

William Dunger & Elizabeth Pickerill had sons born in East Rainham. Richard Pickerill Dunger born 1809, George Dunger born 1819 and possibly William Dunger born 1817.

The Parish Records have been searched but only christenings of Richard and George were found at the time.

A Mary Dunger married Thomas Cork on the same day as William and Elizabeth married, 15th October 1804.

Does anyone know of any other children of William and Elizabeth? Any information would be appreciated.

IGI shows a Sarah Dunger married a John Watts 1/6/1830 East Raynham.   On 1851 Census she is shown to have been born at East Raynham ca.1813 so she could well be another child of William and Elizabeth.

Hi

Have a look at Robert Dunger of 1847, it COULD be a brother of your William who married Elizabeth.  I say COULD!  It needs a lot of checking but worth looking at.  The other Dunger wills are of interest too.

Pickrell wills:

One in Raynham.

http://www.norfolksources.norfolk.gov.uk/Overview.aspx?n=0&x=0


The William Dungar who married Lydia was born c1819 in Snettisham according to the 1851 index and also according to that index, William (sen) & Elizabeth were still in Raynham, as was George and Sarah.  Richard was in whissonsett with his family.

The Raynhams are very interesting villages by the way.

Hi Teddy

Thank you very much for all that. Yesterday I looked at the Will very quickly and was very excited. This morning I printed it and looked at it more carefully. Robert says "my late deceased brother William". I know William was alive in 1861 so he must be from another family.

As you say the other Dunger wills are interesting.

I haven't succeeded yet in viewing the Pickerell Will.

Hi

I went to Norwich today and found the following:
South Raynham 1798-1812 Baps.  No Dunger/Pickerill.

East and West Raynham 1798-1812
Thomas, son of William & Mary Pickerill was born 23 June, bapt 24 June and burd 5 July.
Ann daughter of William & Elizabeth Dunger bapt 12 May 1805
VERY BAD COPY OF REGISTERS ON FISCHE. NOT TRANSCRIBED.
1812-1819
Harriet daughter of William & Elizabeth Dunger (Pickerill) born 27 February and baptised 5 March 1815
William, son of William & Elizabeth Dunger (Pickerill) baptised 3 July 1817
George son of William & Elizabeth Dunger (Pickerill) baptised 26 September 1819

William was a labourer.

Marriage register shows that William and Elizabeth were married by Banns and witnesses were William Pickerill and J Taylor

Hi Teddy

Thank you very much for all that information.
Was it possible to see the year Thomas, the son of William and Mary was born?
Do you think he was a brother of Elizabeth Pickerill?

I did get a copy of the William Dungar/Dunger and Elizabeth Pickerill marriage record. Did you notice the previous entry was for a Mary Dungar, married on the same day. Her witnesses were the same ?J Taylor and also the mark of Joyce Taylor, unless that is one and the same person.

Sorry, Thomas was born, baptised and buried in 1801.  I wonder if William could have been Elizabeth's brother.  Did those wills tell ou anything?

Hi Teddy
Thanks. I am still trying to sort out the information from the wills. Yes, William could have been Elizabeth's brother, there seem to have been less Pickerills then Dungers.

I haven't worked out the Dungers yet. The ones from Dunham seem to have been Farmers and mine seem to have been Farm Labourers.

I am a bit confused about when Wills were written and when the person died!!
On the 1841 census there is an eighty year old Elizabeth Dunger, a widow. Could she have been the wife of the deceased William in Robert's Will, 1847?

We don't know the parents of William who married Elizabeth Pickerill in 1804. The two families were probably connected, but another generation or two back.

The William mentioned in Robert's will was probably born about 1761 and died before 1847. My William was born about 1781 and was still alive in 1851. Does that seem correct? There were far too many William Dunger's. I will keep going back to the wills.

Hi

A will can be written years before death.  I made my will some years ago and I don't expect to make another one untill I have grandchildren, that could be several years yet!
Then, unless there is a change of circumstances, I won't make another one till I die.  That, I hope, will be a long while in the future.  You can see that wills can be proved twenty, thirty, or many more years after they were made.

The will of 1847, I haven't read it in detail, but it depends when it was made, it could mention Elizabeth of 1841 if it was made before she died.

I will have a look at the will of Robert again and see what I make of it, but you cannot presume ages from wills unless they specifically say that a child is under 21 and then it is talking about when the will was made and not when the will was proved.

It's like being a detective!!!

Hi Teddy
I have had great difficulty in attaching the relevant parts of Robert's will, 1847. I got an error message asking me to rename the file, I did about half a dozen times yesterday,it finally worked today. I will try the second part.
