1871 Census Brock

[darkside]

Could someone look on the 1871 census for the Norfolk for:

Arthur Brock born 1866 in Staffam, Norfolk

His father was John Brock this is the only information i know about them.

Thanks

I did suppose that you meant Swaffham and not Staffam. I find no such family on the 1871 census. Do you have the birth certificate for Arthur, 1866?

1871 Census  North Pickenham, (Reg District Swaffham)
RG10/1870  fol 34  pg 3

John Brook       H         68      North Pickenham, Norfolk
Martha   "         wife      48       Hilborough, Norfolk
Racheal "        daur     19      North Pickenham, Norfolk
William   "          S        17                   "
George   "          "        14                  "
Alfred     "          "         11                 "
Arthur               "           9                  "


Arthur is trancribed as being 9 it clearly says 7 on the census page
North Pickenham is 3.6 miles from Swaffham
I have looked at the census and although it is trancribed as Brook I am pretty sure it is Brock, perhaps someone else can have a look and confirm

1881 Census  North Pickenham

Martha Brock      H       Wid    abt 1820 Hilborough, Norfolk
Rachel    "         daur             abt 1852 North Pickenham
Alfred     "           S                 abt 1859         "
Arthur     "          S                 abt 1862         "


are you sure of Arthur's birth ? both censuses are saying between 1862 and 1864

Arthur Brooks     Boarder    26    Norfolk

I think this is Arthur transcribed wrongly again! I think you have him on the 1901 census going by "Staffam"
