    Default History of Horstead and Stanninghall

    I have a copy of Percy Millican's 'A History of Horstead and Stanninghall, Norfolk' (publ. 1937). Long out of print, it can be expensive to get hold of copies.

    Many names are mentioned (far too many to list here) and the book is well indexed. It also has a very useful map of the village.
    If you have family who came from, or lived in the village - or the surrounding villages - I am happy to check the book for you. Just post a reply to this message.

    Hi Geoffers,

    I would very much appreciate any references to EMPSON or KELF that you might find in the book please.

    Hello Pam
    No trace in the book of either EM(P)SON or (C/K)ELF. The only references to the names that I have in Horstead are in the Archdeacon's Transcripts:

    1729
    "Peter EMPSON of (Le.l.ff??) was buried Nov: 2d"

    (The place name is fuzzy on the AT - it may read Lerloff??? I can find no such place on the map of Horstead or in Faden's or Bryant's maps - the only thing I can suggest is that the curate has tried to interpret 'Lostoff' from the PR - i.e. Lowestoft??)

    1716
    I have an entry which I originally read as KELT but now am not so sure, the last letter is similar to both 'T' and 'F' in other entries on the same page, I include it just in case and will amend the index to reflect both possibilities:

    William KEL(T?F?) was bur 18 Jan (1716/17)


    Similarly in 1718/19 AT
    Mary base child of Anne KAL(T/F?): bapt: 22 Marc:

    Hi Geoffers,

    Thank you very much for checking the book, and also for the info from the ATs. It might be a while before I'm able to fit those people into the grand scheme - I'm still trying to sort out all the John and Mary's in the 1850s.

    And as for Lostoff - I love it! Interestingly, there are several entries for Peter Em(p)son in Lowestoft of a time that would fit on the IGI.

    Hi Geoff
    Wondered if the surname BUNTING appears in the book. I would appreciate any information.

    Thanks

    Sorry Sue, nowt in the book for the surname.

    The earliest reference that I have to the name in the parish registers, is the marriage of Charles BUNTEN and Hannah FREEMAN in 1780 and the baptism of their son four months later. Have you details from the registers and census returns?

    Hi Geoffers

    Thanks for checking out the book.

    I have information from the 1851-1881 Census, haven't as yet gone through the 1841. In 1851 Joseph Bunting was transcribed as BUNTON and the address was given as Cottage, St Faiths
    Census Place: Horstead & Stanninghall St Faiths, Norfolk
    PRO Reference: HO/107/1811 Folio: 247 Page:10
    Have the 1861 census discs & located the family in Norwich Road,
    REF: RG9/1209 Folio 84 Page 10 Schedule 44

    Living in the North East prevents me from getting to the Norfolk Record Office so hopefully will be able to plan a trip to the local LDS centre to check out the Baptism Records.

    Once again, thanks for your assistance.

    Regards
    Sue

    You'll find quite a few entries to assist you on the Norfolk Transcription Archive:
    https://www.genealogy.doun.org/transcriptions/index.php



    This includes an index to the 1861, 1871 + 1901 census returns, an index to the registers and ATs and some photos.

    The 1851 census transcript on CD records addresses in an odd way. you should just read this as 'Cottage, Horstead & Stanninghall'.

    continued......
