If you have any information on any GREENACRE names please forward

Thank you

I know this is an old message I'm replying to, but do you know what area in Norfolk you're looking for Greenacres in, and what links you have to put you in that direction?

Simon Greenacre born 1815 Ormesby Street, Margaret, Fleggsburg, Norfolk, England married Mary Ann KNOWLES

Marriage source: England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index: 1837-1983

England Census 1841,1854,1861, and 1871 all state that he was born Norfolk England

Is this what you are after?

Savage702

Yes, that's what I was looking for. Most of my Greenacres are from Gresham and Aylsham, although not so much in Aylsham. I don't have anything as yet that ties Simon into my mess of a tree. :-) The only possible parents I have are Robert Greenaker (greenacre, c.1785) and Elizabeth Youngman (c.1776). All of their children were between 1806 and 1821, but nothing to go with yours. Maybe once I find out where this Robert Greenacre came from, it might open up some clues or ties with other greenacres in Norfolk, but we're stuck at him for now.

You do have both of Simons parents right?

John and Elizabeth Greenacre, both listed as being born in 1791, both born in St Margaret Ormsby as well.

Simon had two sisters and 3 brothers. Elizabeth (b.1826), Maria (b.1827), Benjamin (b.1830), William (b.1833) and Richard (b.1835). Not sure what's up with the 10 year age gap between Simon and Elizabeth, unless some inbetween left home already...
