NEALE at Horning or Heigham

[sheilaT]

Trying to trace Charles NEALE (NEAL?) born about 1810 at Horning.
In 1851 he was in Aylsham, with wife Sophia and nine children all born in Aylsham, except Arthur the eldest born Horning <1831>

He may have married Sophia COOK (COOKE?) at Marsham, 1826. She was daughter of Samuel and Ann (ROBERTS) and was perhaps born at Marsham in 1805. Samuel and Ann - or Hannah- perhaps married at Marsham 1799

I would like to trace the Birth and parents of Charle NEALE and confirm the his marriage. Also to confirm the birth and marriage of Sophia COOK . Most of my information comes from IGI, and I would be grateful if someone can check it on Parish Records, as there are some gaps.

I can't help much as I don't have the registers for Marsham or Horning. However, there are a few bits and bobs below which you may not have:

1841 census - all below are born in Norfolk

HO107/761/02 f7 p6
Horstead Yard, Aylsham
Charles NEAL, 30, ag.lab
Sophia Neal, 35
Arthur Neal, 10
Harriet Neal, 9
Sarah Neal, 7
Robert Neal, 4
Charles Neal, 2
Rachael HORSTEAD, 15

There are a couple of consecutive entries in the 1841 census that may be connected:

HO107/784/11 f7 p6
Upper Street, Horning
James NEALE, 65, ag.lab
Sophia Neale, 55

John NEALE, 40, ag.lab
Rober, 15
Sarah, 13
Maria, 9
Harriet, 7
James, 4

From Aylsham Parish Registers - the following are children of Charles + Sophia NEALE, of Aylsham, father recorded as an agricultural labourer for the first two and a labourer thereafter:

Entry 76

Entry 77
16 Jan 1842, Charles, bapt

Entry 270
1 Jun 1845, William, bapt
Entry 271

Entry 284
27 Jun 1845, Sophia, bapt

Entry 1030
19 May 1861, Frances, bapt - note in margin records 'born May 1849'
Entry 1031
19 May 1861, Henry, bapt - note in margin records 'December 1850' - presumably when he was born.

Harriet, Charles + Sophia's daughter from the 1841 census, looks like she became a mum:

19 May 1861, Anne Ramsey d of Harriet NEALE, of Aylsham, bapt. born April 1857.
