Hi Brenda

I think James Wright (born 1860) married Elizabeth Wright. They had children Ellen, William, May, Walter and Annie. They lived in Clopton in 1911. I'm interested in Annie (born 1898) who is listed at a mothers help on the 1911 census. She may be my grandmother.

Does this ring any bells?

Nicola

Hello Nicola

I'm afraid I know nothing about my James Wright other than he was born about 1860 in Clopton and was a Carpenter. He is my Gt Grandmother's brother and son of William W. and Susan Olden (or Holden).

I find the Wright surname almost impossible to research, there are so many of them in Suffolk.

Sorry I can't help.

Regards

Brenda

Hi, I have just started researching a Hovell family from Norfolk.

To date I have got back to Henry Hovell, fisherman, b 1815 Winterton (I think he married Caroline King), but it's early days for me with this research.

It doesn't seem like this family is related to yours but as it's not such a common surname there may be a connection somewhere. If you have come across 'my' Henry I'll be interested in learning more.  :)

All my Hovells are from around the Denver/Downham Market area and in the 18thC. Although I'm sure there probably is a connection somewhere I am unaware of it. Sorry.

Regards

My surname interest is Askew lately Ayscough who all were born Brigsley or Stallingborough until the late 19th C when they pretty much moved from Lincolnshire to  the North East or London with only my ancestor staying in Lincolnshire. The earliest I have gone back in this line is Thomas b c 1725 who married an Elizabeth Welsh in 1749. Any links.

Sorry but no, not that I'm aware of.

Hello Brenda
I also have Brackenbury interests - can we compare notes?
Regards
Jan

Hello Jan

Certainly. Mine started in Stickney with a marriage of John B in 1772 to Elizabeth Holden. They lived in Stickney & Friskney and their son, William B, married 1807 Elizabeth Meeds, lived in Friskney where my 3x Gt Grandfather Benjamin B was born in 1808. Benjamin married Ann Bowman in 1832 in Spalding where their daughter, Eliza was born in 1833.  She married Charles Sketcher in 1852 and they lived in Cowbit.

Any connection?

Regards

I have Longbottom relatives from Lincolnshire that emigrated to New Zealand

Hello Janmoon

I have no record of a Longbottom emmigrant. Maybe you can give me more details of your stay-at-home relatives? Must be in the 18th or 17th centuries though, I have no recent records, the surname joining my family when a Jane Longbottom married Thomas Mallet in 1734 in Tydd St Mary.  All my family were in the Spalding area back to mid 1600s but where they came from before that is a mystery. Maybe you can help me find them?

I am sorry I appear to have mislead you in that in my message yesterday I had actually copied the first message as it had been some time since it was posted and thought that it might jog some memories.  Sorry am new to this web site and so messed that.  I am in fact researching Storrs which was a name that also appeared in the original posting.  However I am also researching Spicer and Beeson.  My great grandparents lived in Long Bennington and are buried there.  Many of my relatives are also buried there and some descendents still live there.  The name there that I am researching is Spicer.  Storrs came from Stow and parts therby.  Beeson came from South Witham.
Penny

Hello Penny

My Storr family came from Swineshead and Osbournby, in the 17th century.

The surname first joined my family when Anne Storr, bap. 1660 Swineshead, married Nicholas Longbottom in 1685. Is this too early for you? I'm afraid I have no details of any Storrs later than this.

Regards

Sorry but you're far too recent for me. Annison didn't join my family until Elizabeth Annison married John Pilch in 1657.

Sorry I can't help.

Heya!  I'm an Annison from Norfolk...

I'm happy to share what information I have, if it's of any use to you, but I am also trying to trace my father's line backwards for medical reasons.


================================

My father is Ronald Philip Annison, my mother Linda Doreen Annison (nee Lansdale), still living in Costessey, Norwich.

-----------------------------------------

His father was Philip Annison (b maybe 23rd May of 1904 or 1905, d 26 Jan 1982) , married to Hilda Maud Annison (nee Nelson, b maybe June/July 1908 or 9, d 24 Dec 1992). They lived in Birdcage Row, Costessey, and 63 Richmond Rod, Costessey and lastly 148 Moore Avenue, Sprowston. He was a woodcarver and sometime poacher.  (he also had another son, my uncle Richard Annison, who lives in Sprowston)

-----------------------------------------

Philip Annison's father was Albert Annison, who lived in Waterloo Road, Norwich, and he was the youngest of many.

-----------------------------------------

Hilda Maud Nelson (later Annison) was born to Charles Nelson and Emily Nelson, of Home Street, Norwich. I believe that she also came from a large family.

================================
I believe my great-grandparents were Albert Annison (who was also known as "Dutch", and was legendarily strong) and Elizabeth (aka Liz) but I was unable to track down any of their other children.

If you heve anything that would be of any help to me, I would much appreciate it, and it may be of real benefit to someone!
