Norfolk / Re: births three brothers 1814-1820

Hi there Mau Mau

I have just looked at information I have to hand in my collection, not the registers of Bodney I'm afraid.

Ann Oakley married Samuel Elmer in Bodney on 31 March 1820.

There were several Oakley people in Bodney in 1851 but none of your lot, but there was a Judd Oakley born 1824 with his family.

There was no Ann or Samuel Elmer.

(This information are from indexes, not the original records.)

What information have you regarding the ones in Tasmania?  When did they emigrate?  Why?  On which ship?  From where?

I could then follow up this end to see if there are other bits of information here.  I have notes relating to a Howard family of four brothers who emigrated on the Southern Eagle to Tasmania, Launceston, in 1857.  Did your lot come on the same ship or did they travel on the Whirlwind which went 1855?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Oh, happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Teddybear.

A good bet would be to put in a request to the Dereham & Fakenham Times, the local newspaper.

Write to Ian Clarke, D&F Times, High Street, Dereham or look it up on the net, it could be under Archant as they are the owners now.

If you have no luck, send me what you have and why you want to know and I will do it for you.

I live just outside Dereham.

Are you sure about your dates as she would have only been sixteen when married so would have needed parental permission wouldn't she?

Have you looked at wills yet?

Best of luck.

Hi.

Try A2A the archives site.

Try the local Record Office site to where he lived.

Put the village or town where he lived into a search engine and look for a local historian, they could help.  Try the Parish Magazine or Parish Priest, as a question in the local press.

Look at wills.

Try his sisters and brothers.

Never give up and most of all......................CHECK EVERYTHING YOU SEE ON THE NET.

It is all put on by someone and nothing is a primary source, it all needs checking.

Best of luck.

Hi

Have you found your George Pilch yet?  I have a contact who has done loads of research on the Pilch family of Norfolk and she may be able to help.
