There are also

I didn't check these - they're supposed to be identical, but aren't always - obviously they can contain copies of pges lost much later, and all the signatures are copied (much like the GRO's copies of modern BMDs).

hi George,
I cannot find any more info than what you already have,
the only thing I could add is ,

the marriage for Christopher in rockland st mary in 1801,is followed by his death in 1808,looking through the records there seems to be quite a lot of brewer families in rockland at that time,also the burial states he was aged 38 years,so maybe you should shelve this one.

Just remember that when you go to the archive building, to ask at the car park booth for the building and he will direct you. You can only take in a pad and pencil, there are lockers in the hall, for which you will need a £1 coin, which you get back. The ladies in the research room are very helpful, nothing is accessible through the website......as a native I know Good hunting.

You can also rent FS films to view at any local FS centre. The centre usually has a set of local films already available, but this renting is handy if you can't get to the Norfolk Co Records Office too easily. Anyways, it's worth popping in there and chatting to them, so you can see what's available locally.

There are several Norfolk collections at:
https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1®ion=UNITED_KINGDOM_IRELAND

Comparing the number of entries in the index with the number of images available for browsing, it's clear they're, at best, only partly indexed, so if you get no hits from a search, try the "browse the images" link.

Note that it's also often worth checking the Bishop's transcripts too. These are the church's own backup copy of the parish registers.. In Norfolk especially, one often finds this backing up was undertaken by the Archdeacons, rather than the Bishop.
