Norfolk Lookup Requests / Re: Flordon parish registers - BLOYS/BLOIS - lookup

Apologies for the long delay.  I have been hunting for a possible Charlotte, without success.  Was intrigued by the sisters who ended up in Essex which seems a long way from Norfolk in the 1700's

Would you be interested in looking at my tree?  I found yours and can see that we have the same links going back to the 17c.  I made mine Private after several chunks were lifted and attached to other, unrelated people, but can send you an invitation to see it so you can see the sources I have.  My line is from Henry and Elizabeth (Riches), to Maria(1807) who married Wm. Boast.  Their daughter Frances aka Mary Frances was my gt grandma and she married William Cable..

I have a lot more info about Sarah Blois (1737) and will come back to you on this - think you will find it interesting

Best wishes. Yvonne

Just seen your post re Thomas Blois and Sarah Skales.  I have them in my tree.  Can we compare notes?

Sorry for the delay in reply Trish

Thank you for all the detail - I found the marriage in Norfolk PR's on Family Search, but will check out the other info.  Most helpful, thanks. Yvonne

Hello Ian,

Just come across your post and hope you are still researching 

I have links with Goldspinks in Norfolk.  My 5x gt. grandmother Sarah Blois b. 1736 married William Goldspink in Pulham St Mary. She was reputedly connected with the Blois in Yoxford and Grundisburgh in Suffolk.  Her granddaughter Maria married William Boast and lived in Dennington.  descendants are based in Stradbroke and nearby villages and others around Saxmundham

Thank you Sue - am more intrigued now as my gt. granma's maiden name was Boast, not Artis!!  They keep us on our toes these ancestors.

Census and Resource Discussion / Re: Ancestry v FindMyPast etc
« on: Tuesday 03 February 09 16:08 GMT (UK)  »
Hi Jake - I have subs to both and would just say that if your research is mainly on the census I find the FindMyPast originals are very poor quality in comparison with Ancestry and can be quite difficult to read so the suggestion that you try before you buy is a good one.

Good luck  Yvonne

Suffolk Completed Lookup Requests / Re: Birth Look Up - Rendham - CABLE

Dear Anne,

Once again you have come up trumps for me, bless you.  I had since found a marriage for a JC (bridegrooms Parish Rendham) to a Hannah Davis in March 1827 in Benhall on the Suffolk Marriage Index which fits in.  Another shotgun wedding by the look of it!!

Many thanks again.  Yvonne

Nanny Jan - I haven't found him on the 1841 census - thought there was a chance he might have still been with his parents if I did.  He married in Benhall  on Oct 17 1849 - Frances Boast.  She was, in fact Mary Frances and sometimes showed up as one and sometimes the other she was buried as Mary Frances. William's 2nd wife was Mary Ann Nunn which led to more confusion !.

Sorry, it was on the census William was shown as born in Rendham

Richard - thank you for all the details.  The Benhall census is definitely him - the Mary Ann listed was my grandmother.

I did look at the one with Jonathan Cable - it does seem likely, William would have been about the right age and Jonathan's are often shortened to Jon or John, it was the Blaxhall bit that threw me off the scent.

Thank you both for your efforts on my behalf - I think only a PR will solve the mystery completely.  Regards  Yvonne
