Norfolk / Help please with untangling the Settlement and Removal records for John Tann.
« on: Wednesday 14 September 22 10:56 BST (UK) »
The John Tann in question was baptised in New Buckenham in 1735, the eldest son of John Tann and Jane Howlby and grandson of Ralph Tann, a miller, so an established family in the village.
On 24th July 1758 John married Anne Risebrooke of Norwich in St Peter of Mancroft, Norwich and in October that year they baptised a daughter Elizabeth, another daughter Martha was baptised in 1760 and a son, John in 1766.
I was browsing the Norfolk Record Office Online Catalogue and found the following records which seem to refer to John and his family:-
1) Reference codeNCR 20e/18 page 329
Title John Tann, pauper Date(s) 28 Jul 1758 (Creation)
2) Reference cod eNCR 20e/18 page 329
Title John Tann, pauper Date(s )11 Dec 1758 (Creation)
Both have New Buckenham as the parish of settlement.
3) Reference codePD 540/112/61
Title Settlement certificate: John Tann , Ann his wife and Elizabeth their daughter
Date(s) 15 Dec 1758 (Creation)
Certifying Parish: New Buckenham. Parish of residence: St Peter Mancroft, Norwich.
And finally-
4) Reference code PD 540/114/19
Title Removal order: Ann Tann, wife of John Tann, and John their son
Date(s) 23 Oct 1776 (Creation)
Scope and content Removed from St Paul, Norwich to New Buckenham.
I haven't found a record for the death of John Tann.
Anne died in New Buckenham in 1788, her son John married, lived and died in Old Buckenham, an agricultural labourer according to the 1841 census.
I'm a bit confused by these records. Presumably John was a pauper but allowed to settle in Norwich, then for some reason his wife and 10 year old son were removed to New Buckenham. I haven't found a removal order for John, but I presume he was alive in 1776, since Anne is described as his wife not his widow.
If anyone can help shed any further light on this and tell me whether my presumptions are correct of not, I would be very grateful.
