'Matsell' = Mattishall? *COMPLETED*
« on: Wednesday 03 October 12 17:54 BST (UK) »
My ancestor, in the 1851 census, claimed to come from 'Matsell'.  Having looked through the possibilities I can only conclude this is Norfolk-talk for Mattishall - am I right?!  This is the only census return that shows where she was born.

Thanks -

Regards

Matsell would be Mattishall or the adjoining parish of Mattishall Burgh. Both have some records on Freereg if that is of any help.

 :)
Gilding, Eagle, Perry, Wright, Twite, Cooper, Gibson and Ramm in West & Central Norfolk.
Littlewood, Bacon, Oxley and Fairbrother in North East Essex.
