Norfolk Lookup Requests / HELP ON Graveyard Look-Up In Gorleston Southtown
« on: Saturday 11 June 11 03:14 BST (UK)  »
I would like to know if someone would be so kind and help me find where my gg grandmother is buried. Family found the plot once back in the 70's but they have all past on and the only info I have is she suppose to be buried just out of town in a church cemetary with her son Frederick Wm Petre. I have a picture of the headstone I was also told they had to tear the weeds down to take the picture. The headstone reads Julia Doughty Petre with her sons name on it also. She was born Susannah Childs. I can uplod the picture if it helps

Julia Doughty (Petre)
Born 18 May 1823 Died Jan. 21 1906

Hello
I would assume by the response  I will not be able to find any further information on the school. If I could side track here I posted a message looking for any help on (Petre Family from Westwick) and have had people looking but no real reply. Can someone give me a hint to where I can start my search when I fly over this year to  find pictures of the Petre family or heirlooms I just have a hard time believing there is nothing left of this family besides the estate. Could someone please read my post and the story I have my heart into finding out all I can about my grandmother's family and try to understand how her father's father John Berney Petre could just cast off the children he had but still support them in secret. My other quest is to find out what is needed to have the records changed at the Norfolk National Archives as they state (John Berney Petre (1805-1882) had no issue) but he did and I'm living proof of this!
I'm I taking this too personal?
Administrative history:
There is a family tree of the Petre family in Norfolk Genealogy vol. 8. Westwick Hall came into the Petre family on the marriage of William Petre (d.1772) to Elizabeth, co-heir of John Berney of Westwick Hall. William's son, John Berney Petre (1741-1819) died unmarried and the property was bequeathed to his nephew, Jack Varlo (1773-1854), an army captain, who changed his name to Petre. His son, John Berney Petre (1805-1882) had no issue and Westwick Hall was passed to his niece, Mary Laura Duff (nee Dawkins) and then to her son, Captain Bernard James Duff. Both mother and son changed their names to Petre in 1882.
Thanks Anyone For Your Time ((Please read my My Grandmother's Laura Seymour (Petre) History Story to understand my passion in my quest)

Lizzie,
I would like to know if you found anything more on Belvedere Cottage . My great grandfather Seymour Petre was listed on the 1861 Census also with his brother Arthur. The boys father  (my ggg grandfather)John Berney Petre of Westwick enrolled them. I plan to fly over this year.
