I was browsing some Norfolk parish registers yesterday, became a bit bored because the surname I am researching appears to be non-existent (boohoo!), so decided to pay a bit more attention to marginal notes and unusual entries. These found in the parish registers of Ormesby St. Margaret With Scratby
*Burial - Jan 20 1858 - Samuel WORTLEY of Ormesby St. Margarets age 93
Marginal note "WORTLEY this name also occurs in the registers as WATLOW or WHATLOW incorrectly"
*Burial - Jan 6 1864 - Matilda HANSELL of Great Yarmouth
Marginal note "should have been registered as Matilda Hansell HORTH (or NORTH)"
*Burial in 1876 (oops! forgot to note the date!) Agnes Maria HARMAN, infant
Marginal note "the child baptised as Alice Maria"
