Norfolk / James and Elizabeth Olley
« on: Sunday 26 July 15 13:27 BST (UK) »
I wonder if anyone can help me... my 4x Great Grandparents and family are being very elusive.. James Olley was born abt 1801 in Skeyton and his wife Elizabeth Olley nee Storey was born abt 1811 in Skeyton.
I have found their marriage also in Skeyton 2nd Aug 1829 and I have found them in the 1841 census still living in Skeyton. In the 1851 census I have found Elizabeth and their children (James, William, Mariah and Sarah Ann) in Skeyton but no James and she is listed as wife not widow... After that the trail goes cold.. I cannot find Elizabeth or James on any other censuses.. I suppose they could have died but I have struggled to find a record of this.. I would be extremely grateful for any help 😊

Norfolk / Coroners Report
« on: Wednesday 01 July 15 19:40 BST (UK) »
Sometime back I posted on here and asked whether it was possible to find a coroners report from 1863 for a 12 year old ancestor who had died as a result of an accidental gunshot wound in Banningham, Norfolk,. The advice given at the time was to get in touch with Norfolk Record Office which I have finally got round to doing. What I am wondering though is what a Coroners Report will tell me, I have found a tiny newspaper clipping from the time and I also have the death certificate so is the Coroners Report going to give me any more information if indeed it still exists?.

Thanks to everybody for your help, I am now anxiously awaiting the arrival of a birth certificate for Ellen Kirk Gray and I hope this confirms everything. Without your help, I wouldn't have found it :-)

Interestingly I have just discovered an Ellen Kirk Gray of the right age in the bmd's born in Great Yarmouth... May have to trawl christening records now :-)

Thanks for all this, It does seem a bit peculiar that they had an Ellen Grey with them...I am just comparing all the censuses at the moment. This has all been a great help.. All very interesting :-)
