Census Lookup - 1861/71 Dewing

[jadewing]

Hi

I'm looking for my 4g GM Elizabeth Goss DEWING (mn Herring) in 1861/71. 

I have her with her husband Richard in 1851 in Ashwicken (Elizabeth  DEWING   Wife   70 yo   Land Lord Proprietor Wife b, Ringland-Nfk), but not after.  Richard died in 1852 and I believe Elizabeth died in 1874 in Norwich (have yet to obtain the certificate to verify this!), but where did she get to in between?

Tks, Jane

Yay - Thanks again.  Her husband Richard was a brewer and left her very well off.  I'm still trying to work out where all the money went!

I expect she spent it on all those servants, maybe she left it all to charity

Much of the money came from the estate of William Herring who was also very wealthy.

Norfolk Records Office has a plan of the estate of Richard Dewing. https://nrocatalogue.norfolk.gov.uk/index.php/map-of-the-estate-of-richard-dewing-esq-in-ashwicken
