Hi,

Looking for Horace Money Franklin and wife Maria (nee Wickham), children Elisheba,Lorinda,Uriah and Isacah. In 1841 Horace would have been abt 34y.o and Maria 33 y.o.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Hi Wendy

Any idea where???  Norfolk is a very big place and 1841 is not indexed!

I can look if you can narrow it down to a village but not in Norwich, Lynn, Yarmouth etc etc.

Weasenham village history and families connected to the villages of Weasenham All Saints & Saint Peter in Norfolk.  Happy to carry out research in Norfolk.  Please PM for details.

Hi Wendy,

I tried a different approach. 

The Norfolk Transcription Archives: http://www.genealogy.doun.org/transcriptions/index.php

lists 153 entries for FRANKLIN

Document Type Number of entries  Last entry 
Baptisms (Parish Register) 38 May 24, 2004
Baptisms (Bishop's Transcripts) 28 May 24, 2004
Banns (Parish Register) 2 February 26, 2001
Marriages (Parish Register) 16 May 24, 2004
Marriages (Bishop's Transcripts) 5 May 24, 2004
Burials (Parish Register) 16 May 24, 2004
Burials (Bishop's Transcripts) 12 July 20, 2003
War Memorials 1 September 20, 2001
Census Returns 28 July 20, 2003
Surveys 6 July 02, 2000
Hearth Taxes 1 July 05, 2000

Under Census I found these people in Hornington:

Place Register Year Surname, Forename, Age Position, Status, Occupation Born Fol/Page - No.
 
Mitford & Launditch District Horningtoft  1841 FRANKLIN, William, 20 M S  Nfk  8 10

Mitford & Launditch District Horningtoft  1841 FRANKLIN, Caleb, 4  Nfk  7 7
Mitford & Launditch District Horningtoft  1841 FRANKLIN, Forby, 12  Nfk  7 7

Mitford & Launditch District Horningtoft  1841 FRANKLIN, Abel, 15   Nfk  6 5

Some of them are definitely yours, but it's hard to tell, the way they appear, who belongs to which family !

Hope this helps
Bob

Hi Bob,

Great to hear from you and thankyou for the information. Yes some of the family I am looking for is definately listed in the 1841 census. My g.g.g'mother is listed there under Elishalia, however I believe her name to be Elishaba/Elisheba.
Thankyou for the advice re:names, I will endeavour to correct that.
I'm sending you a seperate email as well.

Appreciate your help,

cheers,

Wendy :)
