Key family Norfolk
« on: Sunday 31 January 21 08:11 GMT (UK) »
Is anyone researching the Key family in the Blofield/ Wickhampton areas of Norfolk? I have never got any further back than William Key who married Sarah Wymer in 1777.
William died in 1806 aged about 50 yrs  so was born around 1756. Would love to share any information if anyone has them in their tree.

Not in my Tree the Keys but may be able to help a little;

Marriage;
22 Oct 1778 All Saints, Postwick
William KEY to Sarah WYMEN

They Bapt children there;
WILLIAM 27 Aug 1779
JOHN 13 Dec 1780
ROSE 4 May 1783
SARAH 4 Aug 1799
Must be other children as large gap from 1783-1799


I did notice a Tree with them having a ROBERT 1790 Norwich but his mmn is BROBIN (FreeREG)

William/Sarahs ROBERT was bapt 30 Jan 1791 Norwich.


Where did they move too and where did William die?

Hi,
I know that William drowned in the river Wensum. The verdict was suicide as he was drunk.
Sarah Wymer's family go back quite a way in the area but am not sure about the Keys.
I know Dennis key wasn't the father as that baby died.
I can't find out that William snr  had any siblings.
