I have CD if I can be of assistance to you.

Sally If I have already asked you this, don't worry, but I am still looking for my great great grandfather WILLIAM GRAY. On the 1851 census his wife SUSAN is listed as Head of the Family and gives her status as married. Her occupation is "railway labourer's wife". No sign of William. I can't imagine he was very far away but he has a v. common name and I don't even know when or where he was born. The family lived in and around Hardley and Limpenhoe at the end of the century. I know Susan was born in Halvergate and that she and William married in Cantley in 1831, so I guess he was born about 1800-1811ish. If you can help, great! LN

Helen, Yes I see susan, I have looked at all lodgers in 1851 census no one with his occupation. Sorry, if I can be of assistance please get in touch.

Can you find a Phoebe, James and Emily BRIDGES anywhere, or Isaac, Harriet and Isaac BRIDGES? They were in Norwich, but I think mayt have gone walkabout further afield. Emily, born 1830 according to IGI may be there as a lodger, but I can't find those parents. Some other possible misspellings could be BRIDGE, BRIGES, BRIGGS etc. Thanks very much. Sue (in NZ)

Sally Thank you for looking and for your offer of further help. LN

Susan. There are quite a few Phoebe. James Issac, Emily and Harriett Bridges, Bridge, Brige etc here are a couple. Emily bridges born 1829 John Blaucher Head 67 Bricklayer Norwich Elizabeth wife 65 John Bridges lodger 15 milk boy Emily Bridges lodger 22 living Tinklers Lane Norwich -------- Harriett Bridges Head 33 Thomas son 18 Harriett daugh 13 Pheobe daugh 11 Emma daugh 8 -------------- Robert Bridges Head 50 Charlotte wife 49 Robert son 19 John son 17 Charles son 14 Ann daugh 12 Pheobe daugh 9 Elizabeth daug 4 ------------------- The only Issac I could find were 2 Issac Briges 1806born Hethersett or 1846 born Thompson Norfolk. any of these ring any bells? Sally.

Thanks, Sally. Was there any more info with the Robert & Harriet families? Occupations, address, place of birth etc? I'm also wondering if the spelling of Isaac made a difference - ours had two aa's. Thanks again. Sue (in NZ- doing this while family watch the Olympics, LOL!)

Hi If you don't mind, is it possible to look in Great Yarmouth for any members of the NAUNTON family. I know I have a handful, but not 100% sure if there are any there at that time. Many thanks Lana

Sally, I dont know what way the CD searches work but I wonder if you could do me a great favour and look for the name WHILDING in the Hoxne area. I have a Frederick Whilding I dont know how old he would be but should be a baby or young child. I am very sorry I have no other information, I wish I had. If its too much trouble dont worry. Pat

hello could you possibly check for ambrose lydamore b1829ludham married a ann ? then moved to great yarmouth his parents i believe were james lydamore and mary harmer. he may have had a 2 sisters caroline 1833 and ellen 1834 both ludham. i am hitting a brick wall with these lydamore's any help would be great. shirley

Shirley. Can not find Ambrose but, have found James's wife Mary Mary Lydamore widow head 41 keeper market London Elizabeth unmarried daugh 18 milliner Ludham also found Ellen living with Mary Fleet widow 78 yarmouth Sarah Armen daughmarried 44 Ellen Lydamore Neice U 17 ludham What are your thoughts???

thankyou saklly. It would seem these are the right people. maybe Ambrose was out of the county. I have not found any of this info out so far so it has given me something else to work on. Ambrose is my big problem. maybe i will come across something in the future. thankyou for your help. shirley

oops sorry meant to write sally not saklly. just thought maybe i will find a connection with the aunt. thanks again shirley

Sally Did you find any Whildings in the Hoxne area of Norfolk? Wondered if my thread had got lost along the way? Pat x

Sally, Thanks a lot for that. Sorry asking you again its just this family is my break wall and Isabella & father Frederick Whilding are a pain............ Many thanks once again, I will have to try somewhere else. Pat x
