Norfolk parish register images - FamilySearch

[kiterunner]

Thanks to Nell for mentioning this on General! It wasn't there when I checked the site earlier!

Archdeacon's Transcripts 1600-1812
Marriage Bonds 1557 - 1915
Monumental Inscriptions 1600s - 1900's
Non-conformist records 1613 - 1901
Register of Electors 1844 - 1952

I might be staying up late tonight, lol.

(By the way, I like that 1600s - 1900's how they come down on both sides of the apostrophe question!)

Then use the "browse" facility to get to the Norfolk stuff, and away you go!

Oh my, you do mean lots, don't you:D

Word of warning re the ATs. They are generally very good post 1700, but every 6th or 7th year the records were collected by the Bishops, not the Archdeacons. Also, they seem to run to about Easter, so you need to take care with the dates. As originally ordered, it was obvious which year was which, but when they got resorted by parish it is sometimes difficult to tell what year you are looking at.

[kiterunner]

I looked to see if my Farrow Salter marriage was in there but it seems the pages for that year were damaged. :(

[ElizabethHerts]

I wish I had Norfolk ancestors!

[Nell]

Elizabeth - Norfolk ancestors have their own peculiarities, believe me!

[Nell]

At last, I've found my gt x 3 grandparents' marriage! I knew the banns had been called so the marriage was likely to have occurred Apr 1794, but the marriage register for Limpenhoe was badly damaged and their wedding record not there.

But now I've found in the Archbishop's Transcripts this:

"Marriages.
John Dunt of the parish of Cantley, single man, & Cheziah [sic, her name was Kezia] Seals sp. of the parish of Limpenhoe, were married in this church by banns this twentyfirst day of April, in the year 1794"

It doesn't tell me anything I didn't know - except the date - and the witnesses, disappointingly, aren't family. But I am chuffed!

[kiterunner]

That's great, Nell!

[ElizabethHerts]

Very satisfying, Nell! It's these little moments which excite us. :)

[kiterunner]

Ooh, and now they have the Bishops' Transcripts and Poor Law Union Records too!

[borobabs]

[kiterunner]

[borobabs]

Docking
then Gaurdians Min book

[kiterunner]

So it's the Docking Guardians' minute book. On that page you linked to, which is the first page of the index, it has Widow Annis listed for page 58 and I managed to find pages 58 and 59 on image number 53, with an entry referring to Widow Annis, but I'm guessing there are a lot of books in there so it's going to be a bit hit and miss to find the right page till FamilySearch index them. If you post up the details of the index entry you have I'll see if I can find the right page for the entry.

[borobabs]

Thia is one of them ,,Hannah Playford , but I have saved quite few as I have Playfords Callabys and Hammonds all in the area ,,as well as Symons /Siimmonds gosh ;;
but this one for Hannah I looked at page 129 and couldnt make out, out for her ;;

https://www.familysearch.org/s/image/show#uri=http%3A//pilot.familysearch.org/records/trk%3A/fsrs/idgs%3A004397702.004397702_01543&hash=Mrd8SMocDIIen2Q83tu%252B82PRagg%253D

[borobabs]

The same as on page 25 it mentioned 3 callabys the page 25/48 ones I found but what is suppose to be said about William Callaby on page 59 ? like you say will be hit and miss ;;so it is all in the one book that is what I was asking I didnt know if I had to refer to another book or not ;;thanks

[kiterunner]

The page 43 entry for Hannah Playford is on image number 45: Hannah Playford widow & 3 children, keeps house for Mr Priest... let me know if you haven't already found that one.

then page 129 is on the right hand side of image number 88 (Feb 8th 1837) and in the Docking section it has: Hannah Playford, widow, very ill, has three children, to have 5/- and casual relief.

Hope this link works:

[kiterunner]

Yes, William Callaby is on page 59 - it's image number 53 and again, in the Docking section: The following families received orders for the Workhouse belonging to Docking:
...
William Callaby, Wife and two Children

[borobabs]

Ah so Im moving to the page number in the top section but thats the wrong one as the image is on another page ;;
Cheers for that Kate I have found funereal there for Rice as well ,,think I just need to read every page in that book as far to many of them lol ;;

[Phoenix]

If anyone wants a feel for some of the records, look in the NC records at Guestwick. Absolutely fascinating, esp the chap who got chucked out for commiting adultery with his dil!

[Nell]

Disgusting!

I'm very happy, as I've been able to look at transcripts for various parishes where the original registers have been difficult to read. I've found two more children for my gt x 3 grandparents John Dunt and Kezia Seals. Their eldest son was called Adam and eldest daughter Eve!

One day I hope they'll be indexed and I'll be able to find Kezia's baptism and go further back on her line.

[borobabs]

Phoenix wish I understood the way they wrote a lot better or maybe I need new glasses as sick of altering the image

[JayG]

Has anyone successfully found a marriage bond?

Durham's are in date order but the Norfolk ones don't appear to be, struggling to find my 6 x great grandparents for 1757.

Oh - I wanted to look at the electoral rolls for 1940's but the area I wanted only goes up to 1915!!!!!
