Suffolk & Norfolk ROs
Suffolk - replies for Joan & Hobbes on 'Offer'.
On Monday I am off on my last research trip until Spring although I may have some opportunities over the Winter. If you have any requests, please add them to the thread on 'Offers'. Norfolk - I am in Norwich next Wednesday primarily to use the 1911 Census. Sorry I can't offer any lookups on that as the terminals are only bookable for half an hour but if it's not busy I'm hoping to get more than 1 half-hour session. Inbetween times I'm happy to do straightforward PR Lookups i.e. name, place, 'rough' date. If you have any requests add them to this thread.

Enjoy it Glen. I wish I was nearer Norwich, though glad I made it to the Norwich meet this August and had time to go to the graveyards at Cantley and Limpenhoe too - a bonus that the churches were open!

Like Nell, I wish I lived closer! I've not managed a full day there since the dreadful fire. I spent a couple of hours there in August and it was amazing how much I could zoom through now the registers are mainly on film.
Have a brilliant time! |

I 'do' Norwich once a year as my Norfolk research is like looking for a needle in a haystack. Come to think of it so is my Suffolk research. After 10 years I have no leads so plough through parishes that take my fancy which is why I like the relief of looking for something specific. This trip is Monday in Ipswich, Tuesday in Lowestoft & Wednesday in Norwich. The other two trips each year are Ipswich, Lowestoft, Ipswich.
Thanks for your good wishes. My friend & I enjoy our trips even if we find nothing though to be fair we usually turn up one little nugget. It's a good excuse to get away from the families for a few days.

My avatar has just turned green! I used to spend a whole week in the old RO, which was very overcrowded. The best way to get a seat was to arrive with a pregnant friend! Amazing how quickly a chair could be found!

John PLAYFORD s. James/Elizabeth born 30/1/1806 bapt. 9/4/1806 James PLAYFORD Elizabeth GRICKS both sotp Banns 24/10/1800 Wit: William PLAYFORD Thomas BIRD. Only Thomas signed. There was a baptism 23/9/1770 for a James with parents John & Ann but the surname had been torn away before photographing. Neither the PLAYFORD nor GRICKS surname show up in the records for that time. There was no marriage for John/Ann c. 1740 although if they were James' parents shouldn't they have married in the 1760s?
