George Barnard Cley next the sea
« on: Friday 25 March 11 08:36 GMT (UK) »
My great, great grandad George Barnard lived in Cley next the sea Norfolk. In the Census he was living at The Grocers shop hill top, cley next the sea. I am going to cley soon to trace my family history but cannot find the location where the grocers shop was. If anyone has any information about where it was or any history on the Barnards I would be very greatful.
I am  mainly looking for   Barnard and Hancock  history  from Norfolk at the moment.

Hill Top still exists as a street - try Google Maps!

I remain unconvinced that George's actual address was Grocers' Shop, though.

For anyone who wants to check, 1901 census:
Reference RG13/1827/157/25
Garrad (Suffolk, Essex, Somerset), Crocker (Somerset), Vanstone (Devon, Jersey), Sims (Wiltshire), Bridger (Kent)

Originally, the Enumerator just wrote 'Hill Top' - like the other schedules copied onto the page.

Then he wrote over that - it does indeed look like Grocers Shop .... or maybe GameKeepers ??

have you tried 1891 or 1911 census?

What you've posted is a transcription, not the original. A snip of the original has been posted in reply #1.

I can't see 'Grocer's Shop' either.

I think what might have happened is that the enumerator has wrongly started to write George's name in the address column.

He's then overwritten it with Hill Top.

What looks like an 'S' in the middle of the address could well be part of the 'B' of Barnard.

Hill Top is the road running past the Coastguard Station, on the second map.
