Cheers Heywood, so now I have even more info on my 2 x Gt Aunt, another husband.   This is why I am so addicted to this.    Thank you so much Heywood for your helpful information.   Much appreciated.

Hi Heywood

Thank you so much for your help.   How interesting that Jane was married to Mr Long but married Charles under her maiden name.  I will be contacting the church in Geelong.  They got about my direct ancestors, Charles and Jane eventually moved to Canada lol and died there.

Suz, found the site.   BritishNewspaperArchive.co.uk.   Thanks to that I have found bundles about my 4x and 3x great grandfathers.


Many thanks.

Norfolk / Charles Sparham's marriage to Jane Simson query

Hi All
I wonder if anyone can help with the following :

From the Bury and Norwich Post 28th March 1855 ...  "NORWICH:  On 28th December last, at Christchurch, Geelong, Chas James, second son of the late Mr James Sparham of Blakeney in this County, to Jane, relict of the late Mr Wm Long of Margaretting Essex and daughter of  Mr J M Simson of Stein, Berkshire".

Charles Sparham is my 2 x Gt Uncle.   What is so mystifying to me is where is Christchurch, Geelong.    I have come up with New Zealand which is possible and also what does "relict" mean.

Thank you.

Sparham

Suz, thank you so much for this info.   How fascinating.   Maybe my Grandmother just happened to like the name but I am certainly going to investigate.

Happy New Year
