FreeREG has a marriage 28 May 1818 at St Mary, Great Massingham, Norfolk - William Newstead, bachelor, and Maria Watering, spinster. Witnesses John Watering and Maria Watering.

You mention on his daughter Maria's thread that she had a sister Sophia - FreeREG has a baptism for Sophia Newstead 2 Jan 1825, dob 30 Dec 1824, Norwich St Martin at Oak, parents William and Maria, but it gives father's occupation as shoemaker. Apparently there is a note below entry: "Admitted into the church on 4 April 1841".

Just wondering how you know he was born in Scole, because the censuses say Saul or Sall?

[lozaras]

Hi Kate, Thanks for looking for me :)

I saw that marriage in Gt Massingham, ((there is another William Newstead to Maria marriage in Yarmouth too - I found that couple so discounted them.)

I didn't want to get excited about the Maria Watering one because I can't see why they would want to marry in Great Massingham... my Maria was born in Norwich, Great Massingham is quite a way out.


I don't know why I have him as born Scole :confused: You've made me look again..:o On the 1841 & 1861 census it just says Norfolk. On 1851 it says Saul and 1871, Sall. Do you think it's Salle ??? (about 20km from Great Massingham)

[lozaras]

For the FreeReg baptism for Sophia, I don't know,
his daughter Maria's marriage cert has him as a draper in 1842, I would imagine a change of skilled trade unlikely, but maybe I'm wrong.

They were living at St Margaret's in 1841

Hmmm, FamilySearch has a baptism for a William Newstade 3 Aug 1794 at "Sall, Norfolk", parents Phillip Newstade and Ann Pierce. And they have the Sall PR images available to browse so I guess Sall is an old spelling for Salle.

(Edit - GENUKI says that Salle can also be spelt Sall or Saul).

What do you think?
3rd or 8th of August?

Later on the page he writes 23d November

434

[kiterunner]

It looks like 3th to me - not unusual in old parish registers.

[lozaras]

That's what I thought, Kate. But I thought 3th only existed in French schoolchildren's English exercise books ;)

I'll take it as the 3rd then. Thanks :)
