I have two distant relatives in the family tree:
Ann Rembrants b Ditchingham, Norfolk 1812 [based on 1851 Census]
She married Jabez Perfect at Broome, Norfolk 12 May 1833.
and
Edward Rembrance b 1807 Wotton, Norfolk [based on 1861 Census]
He married Rachel Perfect at Broome, Norfolk 23 June 1835.
Jabez and Rachel were brother and sister.
In the various censuses and other records (FreeReg transcripts, BMD indexes) the Rembrance surname is spelt in ways which suggest none of the owners was literate - and it is a rare enough name to be unfamiliar to the officials who might have to spell it for them, which makes it tough for everyone else!
I suspect Ann and Edward might themselves be brother and sister, but I can find no evidence either way.
There is a family in the 1841 Census HO107/779/25/1 at Ditchingham (all b Norfolk)
Daniel Remnants age 60
Hariet age 40
Daniel age 30
Frances 20
Alfred 25
Maria 20
Nathaniel 18
Stephen 2
Moschar (???) 2 months
into which they could well slot, with Daniel snr as father. Hariet could be sister or perhaps stepmother.....
NB all the places are almost in Suffolk, so I have tried looking (online) there as well.
Has anyone any ideas - or information - about Edward and Ann?
