It looks like Rebecca is next door to Stephen and Elizabeth.

[HarrysMum]

Sorry...phone rang..

There's Stephen and Elizabeth with Emily, Walter and Harry and a visitor named Arthur.

Then next door there's Rebecca with children, Robert, Rebecca, Emma, Mary and Henry and visitor Ada.

Does that make any sense??

Rebecca is named as wife rather than head, but has a farm with 175?? acres.

So, it's Cottage, Heywood Road, Diss
Stephen Murton Head Mar 51 Ag Lab Norfolk Shelfanger
Elizabeth Do Wife Mar 47 Do Diss
Emily Murton Daur Unm 18 General Serv (Out of Employ) Norfolk Diss
Walter Do Son 11 Scholar Do Do
Harry Do Son 7 Do Do Do
Arthur Do Visitor 7 Do Do Do

Farm House
Rebecca Murton Wife W 54 Farmer 172 Acres 2 men Do
Robert Do Son Mar 32 F. Son Do Diss
Rebecca Do Daur Unm 29 Do Bardill(?)
Emma J Do Daur Unm 18 Do Brennell(?)
Mary Do Daur 16 Do Diss
Henry W Do Son 13 Do Diss
Ada J Do Visitor 3 Do Bucken Lane (?)

So Ada is your contact's ancestor? And from what you say, her father Robert must be Rebecca's son, and we have to find out who Rebecca's husband was? Because she is listed as Wife but Widow, it could be that she was actually widowed by 1871 and the "Wife" bit is a mistake.

On the 1861 census Rebecca's husband is called Robert, age 45 born Diss.

Wonder if this link will work:

There is a Robert Murton death in Apr-Jun 1868 age 52 Depwade district, which was the district for Diss.

[Langley Vale Sue]

According to 1861 Census, Rebecca's husband is Robert.

Kite beat me to it :D

[HarrysMum]

If it's Ada you are looking for, there's Ada Jane Murton born Q3 1867 Guiltcross Vol 4b Page 229.

Thanks Girls but still clear as mud to me ;;;this family runs rings around you as theres so many per family and next family is all named same but always live near each other in one way or another ;;;so thats Stephens brother Robert , sure his wife is someone else will just go check ;;;

[borobabs]

So right thats early Robert , William his brother was also married to Rebbeca thats what thrown me there ;;so this Rebbeca is Roberts wife ;;the earlier one who's deathe ? foud sorry your posting faster than I can check and reply lol

[kiterunner]

Could he be Robert Spurdens Murton who married Rebecca Smith 26 Feb 1835 at Diss, according to a submitted IGI entry?

[Langley Vale Sue]

In 1871, Robert junior's wife Fanny and her two younger children Charles & Annie were living with Fanny's mother, Mary Cracknell in Mount Street, Diss.
