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)

• Hello Denise, Sorry to be slow in replying but my computer decided not to switch on so I've been held up somewhat. I am a member of Ancestry but am having difficulty in locating your tree, can you give me a lead please? Best Wishes, Harry

• Thanks Harold, that would be great, but I am reluctant to put my email address in such a public domain!
  
  Do you use any of the ancestry/genealogy sites?
  
  I am on genesreunited & ancestry.com - that allows for private messages where we can swap email addresses in private.
  
  I Look forward to hearing from you
  Kind regards
