1861 census request Norfolk

[granny13]

My gt gt grandfather was born and bred in Shouldham Norfolk so I am assuming that in 1861 his parents lived there. Could anyone check for the surname Grief in this area for me.  Many thanks.

Living in Shouldham

Found a Amey Grief 22 gen servant born and living in Shouldham

Hope your G-G-Grandfather is mentioned here as there were no others.

I also checked the 1851 and found these families again

Robert Greef  35  Head  Farm lab
Sarah      "      34 Wife
James      "      14 son
Emer        "      11 dau
Charles    "        9 son

All born and living in Shouldham

James Grief  22  Head  Farm Lab  b. Shouldham
Mary   Grief  21   Wife                   b. Shouldham

I also found this family in Shouldham

William Greef  50  Widow  farm lab  b. Shouldham
Elijah       "      24 Son        Lab         b.         "

Amey       "      16 dau                                   "


So then I tried the 1841 to see who was in Shouldham then and here they are

Robert Greef       26    Ag lab

Amey         "           6

Well I hope this all helps you. If I can help you again just give me a shout. Merry Christmas Angela

Wow many thanks Angela that should keep me busy for a while.  If I don't speak to you before - merry xmas and prosperous new year to you and yours. Jean

Had another look through the 1861 census for Elijah and found this one

Elijah Greef    34   Ag  Lab  b. Shouldham
Sophia  "        29                             "
Harriet  "         7                              "
Walter  "         5                              "
Lucy     "         11mts                       "
Rhoda Hitteringham/hutteringham  Mo in law 57 b. Stoke Ferry
William Hitteringham/hutteringham Bro in Law 18 b. Shouldham,

Don't know how I missed him the first time but I do find it easier looking for a full name rather than just  the Surname

All the best and Ho Ho Ho merry xmas !!!

Thanks Angela Robert and James in the first message are brothers and I think it is possible that Robert is my gt gt grandfather so many thanks again.

Hi glad the info was useful. I would have thought Robert and William were the brothers possibly.

James is Williams son living with him in 1841 age 12 then newly wed in 1851 age 22

if Robert was James brother William would have been 9 when he had him!!!!

Hope you sort them all out. All the best Angela
