Heigham St.Phillips & St.Thomas (Norwich) (2x) PRs - "Gray" - baptisms 1840-1854

[ribbo39]

Hi all,

I have  some of my family who lived in Heigham (Norwich) and wonder if anyone has knowledge of the PRs for the above two (2) churches. They don't appear on F/Search nor can I find them on Anc..y

Some of the family were bapt. in Norwich St.Giles (1837,39 & 40) after which I believe they moved to Distillory Street, Norwich and had more children there (using BMD).

Any help most appreciated.

Hi all,

Thank you all for the info supplied. I already had the names of 7 children taken mainly from the census returns but you have added some extra ones not known previously;
Mary Rebecca died 1840
Frederick Richard 1838
James Walter 1836

Emma Gray m Edwin Artis 1873 in St.Phillips church, Heigham and my g/mother Ethel Artis mar. William Ribbans in St.Thomas's church, Heigham.

Its these registers I'm interested in to try and get more detail but it appears they are not available
or have been lost/destroyed. I even can't find any BTs for these parishes.
