Rocklands 1805 - record query - Robert Faux Bullen
« on: Monday 16 October 17 12:54 BST (UK) »
Hi

I hope someone can help.  I found a record for a Robert Faux Bullen on FreeReg Rocklands All Saints christened 1805 - father Simon mother Mary.  It fitted with my research perfectly as Simon Bullen's wife was Mary Faux.  However, when I looked at the original record on Family Search in the Norfolk Bishops Transcripts it said his father's name was Robert.

So, I wondered where FreeReg got the 'Simon' from.  Decided to browse through the Norfolk Archdeacons Transcripts on Family Search for, Rocklands All Saints (no 1805) So, tried Rocklands St Mary's (no 1805).  So, tried Rocklands St Peters (no 1805).  Why no 1805!!!!? and where did FreeReg get Simon from?

The original image from the register gives parents as Simon & Mary Bullen. The image from the Bishop's Transcripts has Robert & Mary Bullen. ( The baptism took place at Rockland All Saints with St Andrew ).

In 1801 the couple had another son called Robert. His baptism and burial the following year both name the parents as Simon & Mary Bullen.
