John Breeze - 1851 Census, Norfolk
« on: Friday 16 October 09 19:29 BST (UK) »
My ancestor John Breeze was born about 1808 and died in Ovington, Norfolk in March 1860. However, I have been unable to work out where he was born and who were his parents. He married in Ashill in 1832 and which is where his wife Martha Allcock was born in 1813.

Attached is part of the entry for John and Martha from the 1851 Census. Can anyone suggest a place of birth from this entry?

Is there a place called Russle in Norfolk?  ::)

Rushall is a possibility although there is no baptism for a John Breeze (Breese or some variant) in this parish around the relevant date. There are, however, baptisms for a Barbara (daughter of William & Sarah) and a James Breese (son of William & Mary) in 1806 and a Charles Breeze (son of William & Mary) in 1810 in Rushall.

Reepham is also a possibility although there do not appear to be any Breezes (or variants of the surname) baptised in the parish between 1671 and 1832.

However, the list does not include hamlets, farms etc which could be relevant.
