Fantastic site, thank you. ... :-) Not sure if the Thomas Edwards there is mine, but shall keep him anyway ... just in case.

Thank you Heather. I'd come across this site by accident before now but had not managed to work out how to move around it (duh!) I understand it now! I have found all sorts of bits on here - excellent stuff. Thanks again. Jill

That looks very useful Thank you! Best wishes Sue

I think all our familes think we are mad - but we know that secretly they are jealous :-)

Many many thx for this. Una

Wonderful - glad you are all having some success

Hi Heather Brilliant site!! I have found some of my relatives from Suffolk on there. Also looking for a name in Norfolk and the only ones that came up were Cambs. So not just Norfolk on there. Thanks Lin

thanks for the link! brilliant. unfortunately, couldnt find anything on my Agr. Labouring rellies either shelly

The brilliant thing is you can read them instantly - no paying out £3.50 for a download like on NA and then finding its just a bloke with the same name!

Thanks for this very helpful website Heather. Have found 1 rellie so far which is great. Genevieve

Hi Heather, Thanks for this link. I have found at least one will for my Dad's side and am still searching. An excellent resource - thankyou. Frances PS. Hope things are going ok for you.

Thanks for this link, I've just found mention of both mine and husband's relatives. This is a great site for anyone with Norfolk ancestors. Carolyn

Janet I'll not give up hope on the ag.labs. Thanks for the encouragement. Jo

Quite right Heather, I had just noticed that myself when I went back into the site. I've now ticked the box and have started the search again. Still no luck but I promise to let you know if I hit gold. Jo.

Jo, at present they only have a small selection of Norfolk wills for this time span, depending on which court the wills were proved in. We are hoping that, gradually, more will be added. Never despair of ag labs - I found wills for 2 of mine in the collection! Jay

Jo, not being insulting here, but did you tick the box for Probate as I didnt when I first went on and then realised it was searching for something else?

Heather I was so disappointed - I've put in all my lead names one by one and come up with nothing. Mind you I didn't expect anything from the numerous ag.labs but did hope that maybe a publican or two in my tree would show up on the site. Oh well, nothing's meant to be easy! Jo

There is also a very comprehensive section on trade directories for Norfolk - many more than you can access through Historical directories. Jay

I cant believe more of you havent used this fantastic resource.
