Surname Chapman, East Bradenham
« on: Friday 14 December 07 20:37 GMT (UK) »

Everything points to Samuel Chapman 1737 East Bradenham, Norfolk.

Been to NRO, parish records show marriage (no father or mother) but not birth or bapt. Where now? Sad

Thanks for reply Teddy.

Have had glance through Wills, don,t think family had many possesions, agricultural laborer.

Marriage record shows of this parish, obviously not! Understand that if dwelling in parish 2/3 weeks (Banns) then "of this parish" recorded.

Have checked neighboring parishes, no result. Where are Manor Court records, Estate papers,Overseer,s documents, Settlement papers, etc stored?.

Hi Ramrod

Just because your ancestor was an agricultural labourer, it doesn't mean that they couldn't make a will.  You will never know if you don't look!

The other documents I have mentioned will be in the Norfolk Record Office.  Check through their online index: nrocat.norfolk.gov.uk


If you get stuck, drop me a pm.
