Hello, I hope that this is the correct place to ask for help. I am having difficulties finding the parents of Joseph Massen born About 1811 Walsoken, Norfolk. This is the information that I have:
1841 Census ?Staff Street, Walsoken, Norfolk
Joseph MASON age 30 occupation boot closer [Note name is misspelt]
1851 Census Cooks Hill Walsoken
Joseph MASSEN age 42 Occupation Boot Closer born Bourne, Lincolnshire
1861 Census Cooks Hill Walsoken
Joseph MASSEN age 53 Occupation Boot Closer born Kings Lynn, Norfolk
1871 Census Whitby Street, Wisbech, St. Peter
Joseph MASSEN age 64 Occupation Shoe Maker born Lynn Norfolk
The only baptism that I have found for Joseph Massen is 26 Mar 1805 St. Nicholas, Kings Lynn, Father Richard Massen, Mother Melchia. Then this marriage Richard Massen married Milcah Taylor 22 Aug 1821 St. Martin, Birmingham, Warwick. Apart from the dates of Marriage and Baptism being way off, I still do not think that this is my Joseph Massen. Can anyone help
me . Thank you.
