dear storm bay
you missed a really big trick not going to true yard
they have loads of info about kings lynn and even have a record room which you can seach and has files on families that others have researched
i like you thought there would be nothing their about my family and went round and book a time to come to go in the record room
and we found the church st Nicolas open ( it not a church any more and rarely open) and we got talking to bloke there and mention the pratt family and he says he remembers them and there was loads of them and one helps out there ( we did not get to meet him) but when we when back there we told them we were related and took and round again and showed us the stuff relating to our family.
truly amazing people well worth a visit
