thanks suzanne and christine you have made every thing a lot clearer i shall be able to sort some certificates out now this is as far back as i have gone on my husbands tree regards eileenx

Just in case it helps? 1841: Blakeney William Wells - 45 Mary - 45 Maria - 15 Mary Ann - 13 Rebecca - 9 (the image is very faint...this could be Robert) There is a Robert age 15 in Blakeney (Head Ann Wells)

1861 for Rebecca John Loads abt 1822 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Head Blakeney Norfolk Pleasann Loads abt 1851 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Daughter Rebecca Loads abt 1831 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Wife Rebecca Eliza Loads abt 1856 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Daughter Rob George Loads abt 1860 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Son Sarah Loads abt 1848 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Daughter Birth years of Sarah and Pleasann would suggest that Rebecca was his 2nd wife. Can't see them on 1851.

Robert's birth? Name: WELLS, Robert Record Type: Births Quarter: March Year: 1844 District: Erpingham (includes Cley) County: Norfolk Volume: 13 Page: 107 Rebecca's marriage? (Walsingham includes Blakeney) Loads, John 1854 June Marriages Walsingham Norfolk Wells, Rebecca 1854 June Marriages Walsingham Norfolk

1851 census has this - image says Robert is 'just' grandson Mary Wells abt 1793 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Wife Blakeney Norfolk Robert Wells abt 1833 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Daughter (image says Rebecca) >> Robert Wells abt 1844 Blakeney, Norfolk, England Grandson-in-law (image says grandson) Wm Wells abt 1794 Wissmsett, Norfolk, England Head In your original message, did you mean you found this info in 1851 ( you wrote 1861)

Perhaps if you gave your husband's gggrandfathers name it might help...perhaps someone can find him on 1841? or later? Suzanne

I still dont really understand? But I guess you are tracking this Robert Wells? Have you found him on the 1851 census? You seem to be going in the wrong direction...lol...usually you track backwards to find ancestors? Suzanne

Hope you dont mind Eilleen it gets a bit confused when all scruched up: getting confused can anybody help please Trying to confirm my husbands gggrandad. Born in whissonetts norfolk in 1794. I came across a daughter called robert on the 1861. Image says she is rebecca age 18. There is nothing before and after this, she just disapeared. Also on the 1861 census is robert wells (grandson in law) b1844 in cley, norfolk. In 1871 robert was in london at harrisons wharf. In 1881 he lived in blakeney, norfolk (wife - jemina) and his grandfather and his father in law. His grandfather died there the rest were still there in 1901. Robert and jemina didnt seem to have any children can anybody make any sense out of this
