Since the topic is Whaplode and Whaplode Drove, I am searching for my 3 x gr-grandfather, John Sadd, born in or about 1816 in Whaplode Drove (according to his burial record and headstone, it would be 1816). His year of birth was garnered from census records, starting with the 1841 census, when he lived in Terrington St John, Norfolk. On his marriage certificate, it states his father's name was Henry Sadd. John married Rosamond Banham in 1837 at St John's church in Terrington.
I have scoured the Internet looking for both he and his father but to no avail. He had two daughters, Ann and Edith (Ede), and these names do not figure into wife's family so I thought one of them may be the name of his mother(??). I do not know of any siblings or relatives. He owned the Woolpack Inn in Terrington and family of his wife had stayed there but no one relating to John.
I'd appreciate any bit of information one may find. I'd love to learn more about him and his family and ancestry.
Many thanks,
