Hi Sally, Many thanks for your kind offer - could I ask you to look up on the Norfolk census a Robert Newman Burrell age 44 born 1806 Norwich and his wife Ann Burell age 32 born 1818 Norwich and their children. Susan Duke

Hi Sally Thank you for the information it seems certain that is the Robert that I am interested in as one of his sons has Foleshill as his place of birth. I have moved on a little having found a IGI for an Isaac Watts born/christened November 1835, Mothers name Mary who I believe is a brother of Robert ( because I then found an IGI him also showing Mary as the parent). Could I bother you to try this new infornation thru the census records? Thank you Regards Ken Hunua NZ

Dear Susan, I am pleased to say found on first hit, Robert Burrell age 44 cordwinder Norwich all born there, Ann 32 Robert 20 Charles 14 Rebecca 8 Emily 4 twin George 4 Living at oak street, Norwich.

Dear Dennis, I think maybe being your Garnet worked at Rover Motors I am not likely to find him on 1851, so will search on ancestry for you and see what I can find out. Robert Surname has 3031 hits on the census I have, So if you can give me a little more info, of course I will search. Have a good New Years Eve. Sally.

Dear Grenville, the only Issac Watts 1835 married to Elizabeth age 22 although I believe they used to shorten Elizabeth to Mary and Ann in those days. Any way He was born Coventry she Stoke. living in Foleshill. Entered Foleshill and came up with quite a few. If you would care to email me direct, I will give you the info. Feel too much to put on this thread. Happy Hunting 2004.

Hi Sally, Thank you so much for the information on Robert Burrell. Happy New Year, Susan Duke

Hi Sally, Can I ask you to search the 1851 Warwickshire Census for Robert Moreton, aged about 25 possibly born in Chilvers Coton. Many Thanks -Sarah

Hi Sally I was wondering if you had some time whether you could look up a Samuel Slater, born in Suffield, Norfolk around 1831. I believe he married Margaret ??? born in Hanworth, Norfolk and had a son called John Alfred in 1854. Not sure if they were married by 1851 or if John Alfred is their first-born or not. Any help would be much appreciated. Happy new year. Thanks Jane

Jane and Sarah will look for you today Sally

Dear Jane, The only Samual spelt Slatter was a servant born 1834 address Dunnington, Salford, Alcester, Warwickshire. is this any good?

Dear Sarah, Two Robert Moreton's Son age 17 living with Father George age 54 Silver Plater born Sheffield Yrks mother Harriett age 54 born same. and Robert Moreton age 49 game keeper Jane wife age 49 born tetbury Glos Fanny Halley Niece age 17 Frederic Nephew 11 Elizabeth Bray Housekeeper age 22 James Harrison Nephew age 15 Living at Monks Kirby Luttersworth Warwickshire both big age difference of 25 I will try different spelling.

Hi Sally Thanks for looking. This doesn't seem to be the right person unfortunately, mine is definitely a Samuel Slater (with one t). They later moved to Yorkshire, but I am fairly certain they were still in Norfolk in 1851 as their son John Alfred was born in Norfolk in 1854. Never mind, I'm sure he will pop up somewhere if I keep looking! Thank you for your help! Jane

Hi Sally, I believe that Robert Moreton's parents were Edward and Mary but by 1851 he was married to Ann. The spelling of the name does seem to be interchangeable between Moreton and Morton although I have found others including one record of Monton. Thanks for looking Sarah

Sarah, I will keep looking Sally.

Hi,Sally, This is probably a far too difficult search but I am trying to find a Charles Johnson in Norfolk,who in later years was a butcher. He was in Gt Yarmouth in 1854. I don't even have an age for him,but would imagine him to be between 16 and 40 in 1851. Sorry I can't be more specific! I would much appreciate it if you could help,but will totally understand if this is too complex a search. Many thanks
