I have spent days searching for the parents/relatives of Matthew NORMAN b abt 1805 in Burnham Thorpe, Norfolk. Died 1884 in Somerset.
I have him on all census records during his life. He married Frances aka Fanny and she shows with him on the census records. Just one son James born abt 1842.
One hint on Ancestry shows public trees suggesting the marriage was to Frances ARMIGER in 1835 at Sculthorpe, Norfolk but at this stage it is just a possible.
The 1841 census shows a few other NORMANs residing in Burnham Thorpe who are very likely related (brothers/sisters) and the one hope I had of finding his mother shows an Elizabeth Norman b1771. But when I check the original it is an error and her surname is RIX... but she is living in the same house as possible relatives named NORMAN and a few doors down from Matthew NORMAN.
If I can find his parents I feel other doors will open. I thought it was time to 'ask the audience' as you have helped crack impossible cases before for me. Any suggestions on a way forward would be most appreciated.
