Thanks nanu,
E-mail here is * Any help would be most welcome. When time allows I hope to do more research through Norfolk Ancestor & visit the museum of rural life at Gressenhall.
Am currently 'Voices of the Rural Poor' by Robert Lee which is most interesting.

New here. As the great grandson of Solomon Potter (Jnr) b1852 I am interested to know more about the circumstances in Winfarthing that caused Solomon, George & possibly others to move to Durham. Poverty was key but if possible I should like more detail.

Other puzzles are the other Potter family living close by that of Solomon (Snr) in the 1841 census. At the very top of this census are 3 children - Sarah, Thomas & Mary two of whom show up again on the 1851 census addressed at the Street, Winfarthing & headed by Thomas & Mary Potter (both aged 40). In 1851 there does not appear to be any record of the Solomon Potter (Snr) family?

Lets hope 2012 will bring some answers. Happy New Year!
