I keep going from Family Search to FreeREG to the Norfolk Transcription Archive to the Norfolk Baptism Project on this one but I can't find the links to tie this lot together - can anybody help, please?
OH's ancestor Maria VINCENT in 1841:
Burnham Norton, Norfolk

Ann Do 25 Y

Charlotte Do 5 Y
Robert Anniss 25 Y
Francis Plumb 20 Y
Maria married Robert Annis October 20th 1843, at Burnham Norton church. She was a spinster of full age and no father's details are given for her, although it does give the name of Robert's father. It was only the second marriage cert that the curate had filled in, and the first one he filled in also gives no details for the bride's father but does have the name of the groom's father. Witnesses at Maria and Robert's wedding were Ann Vincent and Susan Powell. When Ann got married the following year, Susan Powell was also one of her witnesses - so is that Susan Vincent junior married to a Mr. Powell? If so, then I haven't found their marriage.
Charlotte who is 20 in 1841 and Ann were both baptised at Burnham Norton and their parents were Edmund and Susan(na). Charlotte was baptised in 1818 and Ann in 1816. There was also Christiana baptised 1814, died 1827, William baptised in 1820 and Simon baptised in 1821. And I've found baptisms on FreeREG at Brancaster for a Thomas in 1809 and Rebecca in 1810, parents named as Edmund Vincent and Susanna Withers, and they match up with a Thomas and Rebecca who died in Burnham Norton - Thomas married Sarah Smith in 1834 and they had a daughter Charlotte in 1835 who must be the younger Charlotte who is with Edmund and Susan in 1841. Sarah died in 1837, Thomas died in 1840 and poor little Charlotte died in 1844. Rebecca died in 1832.
There is a marriage on the IGI at Burnham Westgate, 13 Oct 1801, Edmon Kinson and Susanna Withers. A couple of the children's baptisms at Burnham Norton have the surname Winson crossed out and Vincent written in. There is a Robert Vincent a few years older than Edmund whose name is given as Robert Vincent or Winson on some of the entries for his children, too. And I think I saw the name Vinson as a variation too, so my guess is that "Edmon Kinson" is a mistranscription of "Edmund Vinson" or Winson.
The 1851 census gives Edmund's birthplace as Warham and Susan's as Stibbard. Edmund is 75 and Susan 72 on that one.
Maria's birthplace on later censuses is 1851 - Lynn, 1861 - Burnham Norton, 1871 - King's Lynn, 1881 Brancaster (but I think her birthplace was swapped with her husband's on that one as his says Lynn), 1891 - King's Lynn, 1901 - Burnham Norton. Her year of birth varies quite a bit but I would think her age is likely to be most accurate on the 1841 census where it says 18.
So, I'm thinking she may have been an illegitimate daughter of one of Edmund and Susan's daughters, but it would have to be one who was born between 1801 and 1808. Can anybody find any extra children for them? I really need to find out exactly how Maria is linked to this family!
