      I used this link last week but for some reason the actual image pages don't load now. What I found on my first visits was worthwhile.

          It was playing up yesterday I had problems viewing images, but managed last night ok. I think I have made real progress & will be putting up a query later, so keep your eyes open Norfolk experts!

            Heather's link doesn't work, but Sunny Kate's link does.
            Otherwise, click on the main FamilySearch Record Search page: http://search.labs.familysearch.org/recordsearch/
            And then click on "Browse our record collection", select Europe, and then the collection you want to search. :smilee:

            I've been using it in conjunction with www.freereg.org.uk which has very good coverage for many Norfolk parishes.

                I've been using FreeREG to locate parishes which haven't been transcribed but are on the familysearch site and are in the right area of Norfolk (using ParLoc) - it's working well so far.

                But if anyone spots Tabitha Bush born c1737 I'd be forever in your debt!

                  Norfolk Baptism Project is excellent too. I have just found a load of rellies in Swaffham and Downham Market Wesleyan Methodist records which have just been added.

                    Oh, I wish these people would suddenly jump out the pages at me.

                    Dont forget guys, engrave the names on your eyelids - Edward Horstead and Elizabeth Selby (or selvy) marriage should be circa 1760-63

                      Have you seen I expect you have and have you checked the image:-
                      Swannington
                      St Margaret
                      Baptism 25 May 1735
                      Tabitha BUCK
                      Father Robert
                      File no: 3037

                        Hi Maggie,
                        I hadn't seen that - even though it appears on FreeREG - don't know how I missed it as a possibility - thanks!!
                        Swannington is only about 12 miles from where 'my' Tabitha later married and was buried. I'll have a look at the image later when I have a chance - perhaps it'll even say Bush!!

                        Thanks again - I've been looking for Tabitha for 3/4 years. Hopefully I can prove it's her.
                        Kind regards,
                        William
