GENUKI some of Norfolk is now missing

[Clogs]

The site has a search facility which enables users to find where moved records have been placed. This though is somewhat more serious than just a simple move. It looks as though the university useage has been removed and with it this which originally lead to the old catton burial records.

Type in old catton now and it is a road to nowhere.

Now you could say now we have Family Search, well I'm not too sure about the validity of that statement certainly the Norwich RO fire will account for some lost info, though how much is open to debate. In Sprowston using the AT's in 1995 I extracted William Madcap aged 40 and William Metcalf aged 16 with both dying on 22nd Aug 1809 subsequently buried 27th Aug. Yesterday I obtained somewhat sparser details with only the year, name, and age of 1 person.

Ok Many thanks for the links so I'm guessing that when I get my act together and trot to the nearest LDC Temple to get a number then I'll have greater access to the database rather than the token access that I mistakenly assumed was full?

Having previously insisted that Madcap is a lazy mispronunciation of Metcalf/e or a best guess interpretation it seems I mislead myself into identifying William Madcap 40 and William Metcalf 16 as father and son with both dying and being buried on the same day when it now appears to have been two variations of the same person with me entering the younger age in my records subconsciously.

That link you kindly sent shows William Metcalf whereas a copy of Sprowston Parish records shows William Madcap though the date looks identical to read an age for William Metcalf I had to invert the image and he was 40 just like the Madcap entry so it is just one person and not father and son.
