I am doing some family research and looking for assistance.

I would think anyone with the last names of Thomas or Griggs living in the East Winch, Gaton, Lynn area are part of my family tree, and I would appreciate contact from you.

My Grandmother was Dorcas Sophia Thomas Born in Norfolk 1887/87 Died 1937/38.

My Great Grand Parents were Charles Thomas, Gardner, born 1838 at Westacre, Died about 1890.
He Married in 1876 at Freebridge Lynn,Annie Maria Griggs, Born 1851 at East Winch, Died 1937.
In 1881 they lived at 3 East Winch Road Bridge House, Westacre Norfolk.
In 1891 they lived at 40 Lynn Road East Winch.
Children - Elizabeth A. Born 1878, John G. Born 1880, Robert W. Born 1883, Dorcas Sophia ( my grandmother ) 1887, and Alfred J. Born 1889.

I have no further information about Charles Thomas's family - some info was he was a gardener for a Lord ?? and he died from phemonia after falling in water during a hunt and after the hunt went back to work gardening thence causing his demise about 1890.
My Great Great Grandparents on the Griggs side, were John Born about 1816 and Ann born 1819 with children James born 1845, Walter Born 1847, and Annie Maria ( my great grandmother ) born 1851. There may have been other siblings born after 1851.

My Great Great Great Grandparents on the Griggs side, may be William Born 1777 and Mary Born 1877 with children John, born about 1816 ( my great great grandfather ) and a brother Walter born about 1821, all Agriculture labourers.

My Great Great Great Great Grandfather would be John Griggs born at East Bridge, Freebridge Lynn in 1761 also an agriculture labourer.

If anyone in the East Winch / Gaton / King's Lynn area have any futher details about the Thomas / Griggs families or are possibly a relative I would be pleased to hear from you.

• My name is David Emsley. I am from Sporne stock. I was named after your grandfather who was a favourite brother of my grandmother. By chance I now live about 1 mile from Middleton Towers, where your grandfather worked. The gamekeepers cottage still exists. I am quite familiar with the Sporne family tree (Titchwell and Brancaster). Please email if you wish (david.emsley2@btinternet.com)

Looking for family of Thomas Whiley~ b. 1808~ Marsham~ Norfolk~ England. I have everything forward~ but can't get past his mother~ Lilly Whila (or Whiley). All I know is Lilly had three children in Marsham~ can't find anything more about her except her death. Would like to know if Whiley was her married name or her maiden name.

Hi all~****My husband and I will be traveling to Necton in late April. We are traveling to the UK from Little Rock Arkansas. I am interested in finding information on my 8th great grandfather Eli Nelson who was born in Norfolk~ England in 1615 and emigrated to Westchester~ New York. I have searched through buriel records and have found some Nelson's that were buried in Necton in the 1630's. I believe that Eli Nelson was probably from this town and that his father was buried in Necton. There are no other buriel records for Nelson in that time period in the county of Norfolk. If anyone could help me narrow my search before I get there I would be grateful. Thanks **Jamie

Calling all Marham residents...Can you help!!! My name is Rhoda and I have **recently found out I have sister!! My father was in the RAF stationed at RAF **Marham (David Small) and had an affair with a lady who lived in Marham village **in the 1960's. All I know is that the daughter he fathered was named Maria or **Marie and she was believed to be born between 1963 and 1965. I'm not sure but I **think the lady's name was Sylvia or something simliar and they lived behind The **Bell pub. Maria/Marie was born at the old Kings Lynn hospital. I have spoken to **Kings Lynn Registrars who couldn't really help as I have no surname ( and she **wasn't registered as Small) They I think have moved away since but any info ( I **am looking for a surname) would be most helpful.
