I know I'm really only going to solve this by going to NRO and burying myself in microfilm - but hopefully I can sort the little riddles until I'm able to get there.
I'm trying to see if I can confirm a connection between two families called Chaston living not far from each other in Norfolk.
MY LINE
John Chaston bp 1793 Great Hockham, Norfolk, son of Isaac Chaston and Elizabeth Cook.
siblings are Jemima bp 1791 and Samuel bp 1796
Mystery Line
just down the road in Tottington Norfolk the following show up in 1841 onwards
Isaac Chaston c1806 Tottington
wife - Elizabeth ????
sister of Isaac
Elizabeth Chaston c1797 Tottington
in 1841 there is another Elizabeth Chaston in the household aged 70 - putting her the right age for Isaac/Eizabeths mother
I'm mostly pinning this on the birth/baptisms indicating a move of my Chastons from Hockham to Tottington (mainly based on mother Elizabeth)
Tottington Isaac names his sons Samuel, William, John and Isaac.
I don't really know where I'm going with this.
My first problem is that I can't yet see a death of Tottington Elizabeth in the right area. She is alive in 1861 but no sign after that.
Common mis-spells = Chasten, Cheston, Chesten
and I've confirmed in Parish Records for Hockham and Cressingham a name variation of Chesnutt/Chestnutt
Any help/suggestions/solutions greatly appreciated
