Neales of Foulsham

[brushbroomstick]

Could anyone tell me whether the Neales of Foulsham are connected to the Neales of Whissonett?

That is a big question!  And can only be answered by detailed research of both families -
what have you got on either of them?

My Neales are the ones from Foulsham. I have 9 generations back from my late husband Eric g Neale 1944 -2011 and all the various children.
Thomas 1911married Marjorie Dickson
George 1881 married Isabella Taylor
Charles 1847 maaried Ann Postgate
John 1806 married Mary Fisher
Thomas 1773 married Lydia Thomas
Thomas 1745 married Ann Baldwin
Thomas 1710 married Mary Jarvis
Henry 1685 married Mary
Thomas 1649 married Mary Fernicroft

Wissonett
Thomas 1717 married Ann. They had 8 children : Thomas 1747, Peter 1750,Ann 1753, Ann 1755, Catherine 1758, Williiam1761, James 1764 and Sarah 1767

The one I have followed mainly is Peter who married Elizabeth Fish. They had a son Charles baptised 14 Feb 1779 in Guestwick in the same church as my husband's gr uncle Charles baptised 20 Dec 1778 , the son of Thomas 1745 and Ann Baldwin.

I then followed Peter and Elizabeth Fish's  children, Robert Ladell who married Hannah and Charles who maried Anna Maria

I followed Charles and Anna Maria as they had a son Charles baptised Nov 1847 in the same church in Foulsham as my husband's gr grandfather , also Charles Neale baptised Mar 1847.

It seems a bit of a coincidence that the family from Wissonett moved th Foulsham or Guestwick.

Another of our living relatives told me that  way back (When I don't know) that 2 brothers Thomas and Charles Neale were both farmers (near Foulsham?) and when they died the farms were divided and sub divided through several generations and that all our Neales  descended from them.
