Hi Daphne,

Thank you for that information - I think John Wittup was the brother of my Anna Wittup (3 x gt grandmother). 

I'll have to go back over this hunt - did we ever find when Robert Wittup (Anna and John's father) died?

Patience Matthews (1783-1863) married John Walpole (1787-1846) at Blickling in 1811. She was the daughter of Mary and John Matthews of Cawston. From 1832 to 1841, John Matthews was the victualler of the ‘Ratcatcher’s’ inn [now the ‘Dun Cow’] at Cawston, where he was the villages’ rat-catcher.
