On the 1841 census for Great Walsingham, Norfolk I have the image but it is difficult to read Edward Boom 40, ag lab and his wife Phoebe, 46 living in Great Walsingham. I cannot read the address but in 1851 they are at Hill or The Hill, Great Walsingham. I am trying to read the names of all the Children. I have: William, 10 Can't read but could be Anna 9? Eliza Can't read age, but she was 43 in 1881. John? 4? Can't read but a female aged? Thanks david

Well I'm off to a cracking start David ... can't even find them on the 1841! Definitely Edward & Phoebe Boom? Definitely Norfolk? I'm looking at Ancestry, is that where you got the image from? Mandy :)

Saves time...........thanks Viewing the image........Thomas's age looks more like 3mths.............and it's in the wrong column. The address is simply Great Walsingham........ Reg

Thanks all for your lookups. I only had a print of the image. I think it is Boom on there. The family were boon earlier, and on the 1901 'Bone' Sorry I didn't come back earlier, but we had a power cut and storm immediately after I had posted the message, and have only just come back on. David
