Who When Where

You certainly need to know which site has which records, and, if they both/all have them, which are better!! For example, a lot of my family are from Norfolk, and FMP has better coverage, especially if you use the "AZ index" as your starting point: I nearly always go there and open each se...

Hi Chris,

You are quite correct - thanks. I've edited it now.

Clerk in Holy Orders is definitely a vicar, rector or priest. My granfather and great-grandfather were both one. Crockfords website says "Legal title for a member of the clergy"

I *think* it is a case of the search engines not having caught up with a new website yet. I can view the site on Firefox, Safari, Chrome and Opera, it's just searching for it which is a problem - not ideal. We will look into it

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...

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)

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...

I would think there may be changes next week given that non-essential shops metc are allowed to open. I hope so anyway as I have at least 3 to order!

Can anyone help me get further back with this branch of my family? Thomas REEVE was the first living child of Henry REEVE and Mary (maiden name unknown), born in 1758 (possibly very late 1757) in Bawburgh, Norfolk, and baptised there on 8th January. Two children died (Thomas 1756-1756 and Martha 175...
