Help pls with place name
« on: Saturday 12 March 05 01:41 UTC (UK) »

Hi all.  Am researching the Gould/Goold and Want families.  The IGI lists their birth places as Fakenham Magna, Suffolk.  Is this correct as I can't find it.  A search through multimap shows a Fakenham in Norfolk.  Any help to sort this out greatly appreciated. 
Cheers,
Julie

Try this site
http://www.streetmap.co.uk
Its near Little Fakenham south of Thelford in Suffolk.

When you get the large map, enlarge and Fakemham Magna comes up on the enlarged map.
Good Luck

Robraw;
Noticed your reply to the Fakenham Magna question, I have visited this village on family connection, and only a few miles from where i live, but only just the other day via an old letter,  noticed the address as Little Fakenham, I had always thought that the two were the same, would you know if Little Fakenham has its own church, as i know Fakenham Magna does.

thanks...........

JULIE;
You might want to also search the surronding villages in this area, as on my family connection found various family members at other nr by church yds, such as Honington, Sapiston etc.........

After a trip to the area today, it seems that Little Fakenham and Fakenham Magna are one of the same.

Fakenham Magna or Great Fakenham is in Thetford Reg District.  Fakenham Parva or Little Fakenham is in Woodbridge Reg District.

PLace Little Fakenham into a search on Multimap, and you will find it, zoom in and it will turn into Fakenham Magna.

Yet visiting the area, no one has heard of Little Fakenham there.
Wierd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes  a little confusing.
go to this link and all will become clearer.
http://www.jhoddy.demon.co.uk/murrels/sfk_tht.htm

I needed to also clear this one up, as i am looking for a family member in Fakenham Magna, although a last address was given as Little Fakenham.

I am to return to Fakenham Magna church, will see if any of your names turn up....

This might help.

It seems that Fakenham Parva was enclosed and become de-populated at the end of the 18th Century.

Rick and Blue Spirit, hi there and thanks to both of you, that's cleared things up for me.  How I'd love to join you on a trip to the church - out of the question as I'm in Oz.  Good luck with your hunting anyway.
Cheers.

Hi Robraw, thanks for your previous post.  Sorry for not replying sooner.  Would love any info on the following if you have it.  Edmund Goold/Gould  b 1776 or 1779 Rymer, Suffolk.  Wife Sarah Stevens chr 1778 Fakenham Magna. 

Also William Want b 1819 and wife Ann Stevens Goold chr 1822 Fakenham Magna.  I have the Want clan from Blo Norton, Norfolk before going to Suffolk.

Many thanks in advance.

Hi Julie

Edmund Goold b abt 1778 (my 3rd Gr Granduncle - A bit remote) married Sarah Stevens on 12 Nov 1801 at Fakenham Magna, Suffolk.

Children were
Miles 1801-1881
John Stevens 1804-1809
Mary Stevens 1805- married William Want at Fakenham Magna 1845
Elinor 1808-
John Stevens 1810-1853
Edward 1813-1861
Daniel 1815-
Anne Stevens 1822-

Mary & William had 3 children
Sarah 1845 -
Miles -
Ann -

I have quite a lot of Goolds from Suffolk in my line which moved to London in the 1870's.

Regards

Keith

Hi Keith, thanks for your reply.  In your info you have Mary Stevens Goold b 1805 marrying William Want. 

Hopefully this will not get too confusing but here's what I have.  Ann Stevens Goold b 1822, died 1891 Grafton, NSW married 26.12.1844 Fakenham Magna to William Want [b 1819, died 1908 Grafton, NSW]. Children - Sarah b 1845, Miles b 1848, Anne b 1851, Edward b 1854, Elizabeth b 1861 and William b 1864.  The last two being born in NSW.

I have Mary marrying William Browning 12.04.1825 in Horningsheath or Herringer, Suffolk.  I have found 5 children so far the first being born in 1840 which seems a bit odd to me if they were married in 1825.  Maybe there's more but I just haven't found them.

I was given this info from the Fakenham 1851 census from another kind rootschatter
GOOLD 
Daniel, age 34, born Fakenham
Miles, age 48, b Fakenham           
Edmund, age 72, b Rymer
Sarah, age73, b Fakenham
 
WANT
Miles, age 3 born Fakenham
Sarah, age 6, b Fakenham
Ann, age 28, b Fakenham
William, age 30, b Fakenham

NSW assisted immigration has William and Ann Want migrating to Australia on the 'Castilian' in 1858 with children Sarah age 13, Miles age 10, Ann age 7 and Edward age 4.

I have Sarah Stevens chr 20.12.1788 Fakenham Magna and her parents as John and Sarah.

It gets a whole lot more confusing on my side [well it's my hubbies actually] as Anne Want  b 1851 [the daughter of William Want and Sarah Stevens Goold] married John Want b 1842 [the son of James Samuel Want and Hannah Maria Baldery].  William and James were brothers.  I have a bit more info on the Wants if you want it.

I guess this genealogy wasn't meant to be easy but it certainly is time consuming - especially with this lot .
Cheers
Julie
