Loose, Brancaster
Hello - I've just started tracing our family tree and picked up your enquiry from a Google search for "Victory Brancaster". My maternal grandmother, Clara Softly (born 1885) was the grandaughter of Thomas Loose the publican of the Victory. She appears in the 1901 census as a visitor (staying in another property) and (I presume her brother) is in the 1881 census as Thomas's grandson William Softly. An old article in "Norfolk Fair" refers to a number of Loose family members, not all necessarliy related, in Brancaster between 1900 up until today.
Any info on Loose's or Softly's (or Hipkin's from Fakenham, Norfolk) gratefully recieved

Loose Family
You are right HBOX; there are lots and lots of Loose's, especially in Brancaster.
I'm still working out who is related to whom. In the 1891 census there is a reference to a William Softly, Head, Widow, 35, a son William, 12, an Eliza, daughter, possibly 10 and another daughter whose name I cannot work out, 8.They are listed below a Thomas Loose, fisherman. I am still awaiting a certificate to confirm that this Thomas is a brother of Henry Loose, also fisherman. I have seen the page about the Victory; another licensee was a Robert Skipper - if its the same Robert he married an Elizabeth Loose; the 1871 census has this one's address as the Victory Inn, occupation as ?? Keeper and fisherman; once again am awaiting a marriage certificate to prove she is the sister of my henry and thomas. I'm afraid I can't much- you just have to keep digging patiently.
To all those who helped me I know have certificates proving the parentage of my Florence and am now slowly collecting other's to get a picture of the family

Harry Loose
Hi Christina,
In your message you mentioned 'Harry Loose'. My Mum remembers him as her uncle (he could charm worts), but I can't find him in my family tree - nearest is Henry Loose. Mum's grandmother was Rose Loose and she knows for a fact Harry called her his sister. Most likely Harry was not his birth name, so I'm trying to place him.
You mentioned a photo with Harry in it - this would be fantastic - would happily trade some of my Mum's stories about him for a copy!
I have a comprehensive family tree on genesreunited and have communicated several times with my S. Australia relations
BTW, my daugher's name is Christina
Hope to hear from you soon - direct email would be fine.
best regards
Jim Benefer
Great Grandson of Rose Loose and Herbert Sutherland of Brancaster

Hello Jim
People given the birth name Henry were often called Harry so the Henry/Harry mentioned in my post on the 1881 census is one and the same person - Florence and Rose were his sisters as per the census records. Do you have these records? The photo you refer to was mentioned by the originator of this post JJOP whose grandmother was Florence, Harry and Rose's sister. It isn't actually of people but of the houses they lived in. You will have to contact her about it.
I will email you privately.
