Posting the details on here has spurred (sp?) me on to go back and have another look at the registers that are on the familysearch site - I haven't done much researching lately!

It would be good if there is a connection :-) My direct line of Parnells are from Taverham, Thornham & Norwich.

Edit: oops forgot to ask where yours are from?:o

Thornham is only about 5 miles away from Docking (Google maps) but the other two are about 30 miles away.

[borobabs]

Hmm so could be related family then My John is born Docking 1775 and a link person has wrote possibly Rudham ??

Have checked the following registers for baptisms 10 yrs either side of 1732:
Drayton, Cossey (Cottessey) Attlebridge, Ringland, Easton and there are no Parnells or Suttons.
Horsford and Horsham St Faith are not included in Norfolk Parish Registers on Family Search.

Don't forget they have the Archdeacons' Transcripts on there too.

There is a John Parnell baptism on FreeREG 31 Mar 1730 at Great Walsingham, parents Henry and Alice, but that's nowhere near Taverham.

Was going to look at them later, Kate. Just wanted to update Sue as to what had been looked at already. Gardening to give eyes a rest at the moment:)

[Crafty Sue]

Thanks all :-)

These are the children I have, all bap Taverham:
William 1764
James 1766
Elizabeth no bap found but buried 1767
John 1769
Robert 1771
Henry 1773 - this is my line

I have seen that bap in 1730 at Great Walsingham, but agree it does seem a bit too far away.

Thanks Kat for checking those registers, I'm looking at the Archdeacons' Transcripts images but not found anything of interest yet.

Could be a connection borobabs, haven't looked to see how far away it is though.

Sue,
I am going to Norwich RO in September, do you want me to have a look for anything? I will check the Horsford and Horsham St Faith registers for c1732 ish birth for John Parnell. Have you got Ann (Ana) Sutton baptism?

That's very kind of you, if you have time to look at Horsford & Horsham St Faith, that would be great.

I don't have anything on Ann or Ana Sutton either, all I know is that she married John 15 Nov 1758 in Taverham and was buried 04 Feb 1776 in Taverham. So if you happen to spot any Suttons I'd be grateful.

Please may sure you get all you need to do done first though :) I know how time can fly by when engrossed in researching.

Hi Sue,
I had a look at Horsford for Parnells and Suttons but nothing I'm afraid. The Horsham St Faith film was away for repairs but can look for you next time I go to Norwich RO. Not sure when that will be but have it noted in my book to do.

Many thanks for trying Kat, I appreciate your efforts :-)
My research has slowed down of late due to most of my direct lines needing RO visits, all over the country! So there's no hurry :-)
