Re: Henry REEVE - Norfolk mid-1700s

I have spent some time this evening going through all the record images available on Find my Past. BT's - no records for Bawburgh before 1776 AT's - no marriage records between January 1753 and 1760 PR's - One page in the register has 8 marriages between 1729 and 1750 inclusive, none then until 4 Ju...

Re: Isaac Jacob Arthur Kemp

It might be worth joining the Norfolk FHS facebook group if you do facebook. They're quite active (I am a member of the society but haven't used their FB page yet)

Re: Henry REEVE - Norfolk mid-1700s

Thanks all I have seen the familysearch images, and those on find my past. I will go through the archdeacons transcripts and the BTs again. I've also spent two days in NRO (although looking for other things as well). He is certainly not indexed on FMP. He's not in the Norfolk FHS database either :ro...

Two children died (Thomas 1756-1756 and Martha 175...

From the register of Melton Magna (Great Melton) in the front of the book commencing 1725 (although obviously added to later) is the following: Some observations transcribed from the Old Register and incidentally elsewhere.
