Hello,

I am hoping to find the parents and any possible siblings of John Alexander, born in Norfolk in 1791. Census records (1851/61) indicate he was born in Ceadon/Leaton in Norfolk, but I can't seem to find places with those names in Norfolk. I have a possible birthdate, 31 August 1791, however I have no further information on this date.

Would greatly appreciate any help with this :)

Welcome to rootschat

Where do you have him living in the 1851/61 census.  Did he marry, if so who did he marry when/where

I think it says Seaton as John's place of birth in 1861.

I have a possible birthdate, 31 August 1791, however I have no further information on this date.

Where does it come from?
31 Aug 1792 is the birthdate of John Alexander baptized at Topcroft, 23 Sep 1792 (private)
Parents John and Sarah (nee Webb)

Topcroft not so far away from Westleton.
