Ooh, think i've found something

[Glen in Tinsel Knickers]

Seeing as the recent events are still a problem (see my thread re death certs) i thought i'd have another crack at a longstanding dead end from the late 1700's


3xgrt granny Hannah Curson always claimed Beetley, Norfolk as place of birth, she bounced her age around over the years but it usually comes close to 1790..........

Now i have found the following page. Looks like she could well be mine.

typically there is something missing from a name in the records (last time it was Hannahs' surname to confirm the marriage :() this time it's her mum:(

Pig sick - I never find anything on freereg!!

No IGI listing i'm afraid.

I had a look at the genealogy.doun site, likely candidates are Nave or Neve but still can't find a possible.

And there's a Mary Neave bp in Gressenhall, which is nearby!

I think John had two wives called Mary. This may be unconnected:

I can't get any results from the link Phoenix, i did have a quick search with a name or two from the tree and might have found a few settlement orders.
