Good Morning all
Not sure if this is the right place to post this message but I'm sure someone will point me in the right direction.
This year marks the 25 year anniversary of the re-discovery of St Mary's Church at Houghton On The Hill near North Pickenham by Bob Davey and his late wife Gloria. An open weekend is being planned and the provisional dates are 7th and 8th October. To this end, I am trying to collate as much information as I can about the inhabitants of the village and to unearth any (probably long ago told) family stories about the now disappeared Hamlet and it's church which can be available for the event.
I have received some very interesting information about one of the original families via a relative in Australia and I am fairly sure there are other emigrants, probably in Canada and/or USA. I am myself going through the baptism/marriage and burial records available as well as tracing those who were recorded in Census records but I would be very pleased to receive any further information which may be of interest.
I very much look forward to hearing from anyone with any stories/family histories. Thank you.
Lisa
