Good morning. I have 2 lines of ALDIS connected to Stoke Holy Cross c 1750. I am hoping to join these together, or find evidence they are NOT linked.
(1) My ancestors. First event on record in SHC is the marriage between Sarah ALDIS and Anthony EVERETT. Free reg has
County Norfolk
Place (link for place information) Stoke Holy Cross
Church name Holy Cross
Register type Transcript
Marriage date 1758
Groom forename Anthony
Groom surname EVERETT
Groom condition Single Man
Groom parish Otp
Bride forename Sarah
Bride surname ALDES
Bride condition Single Woman
Bride parish Otp
I have looked for, and failed to find, this entry in the AT's. The Parish records are not on the browsable Parish records on Family Search and the registers do not appear in Find My Past original registers for Norfolk. Therefore this event is ONLY from 1 transcript, and has never been proved by me - no original record sighted so far.
Sarah nee ALDIS was born in Woodton 1734. d of William and Elizabeth nee CURTIS.
(2) A couple named James ALDIS and Sarah SUTTON married in Woodton 15th October 1781. All their children were Chr in Stoke Holy Cross 1782 through to 1792. Sarah nee SUTTON is buried there, as are many of her offspring, but no sign of husband James' burial.
James birth and death not yet found. Sarah nee SUTTON (I think) is the d of Martin and Elizabeth SUTTON Chr in Woodton
Stoke Holy Cross churchyard is NOT among the many which had headstones transcribed by the Women's Institute.
Thanks for reading - SHIRLEY
