Norfolk Archives have a few records on line - wills and such. Google NOAH.

Any birth certs after 1837 use the GRO (General Register Office). Never pay more than £7.

Before 1837 you're in the realms of baptism records.

See if one of them left a will on the NOAH site - that might help with family connections.
