Find Ancestors

I think I've done OK tracing back my family tree up my dads side but I seem to have run in to a wall. I'm using the Free REG website also to search parish records.
I think I have got back to Marshall Gowers who was born around 1786 in Little Snoring in Norfolk. I believe his parents were another Marshall Gowers and Elizabeth Tidgett.
I've tried to find records of this marriage and also when this Marshall Gowers was born and who his parents were. I think his parents were still in the area although possible from East Barsham in Norfolk.
If anyone can help I'd be very grateful as I am getting confused and pulling my hair out.
Many Thanks
Darrell Gowers

Hi AnnCardiff, thank you for your postings to my original post. Most of what you posted I have found on the census records. Where I am getting stuck is from Marshall Gowers born in 1786 going back to his parents etc. I have found his parents name also Marshall Gowers and Elizabeth Tidgett but I cannot see where the earlier Marshall was born and who his parents were.
Thank you
