Me !! Although I've lived in Sheffield for about 6 years I was born and brought up in Norfolk, mostly in Little Walsingham (went to secondary school in Wells-next-the-Sea). My genealogy is starting to show that all my family ad infinitum were also from Norfolk with no exceptions. Looking for the following : Nobes and Rutland from Guist Nobbs from Foulsham Taylor from Hindolveston Barnard / Page from Barney Knowles from Hunworth Quantrills from Wymondham and Reynolds from Norwich Moind yer hid, bor !

I'm not from Norfolk but I just found GG Grandfather & mother born there in Shotesham and Tasburgh. Also visited a tiny place called Gorefield twice a year for 5 years with secondary school. 1 week compulsory and 1 week in summer hols. It was wonderful. My school owned an old large vicarage. Amazing place but I think it probably got sold when school closed down. Hope it's not derelict now... Naomi
