Would appreciate any help in getting information on my g-g-grandfather. Isaac Churchman. I have him in the 1881 and 1901 censuses living in Castle Acre, Norfolk. I believe that he was born in Litcham, Norfolk around 1855. Thanks.

On the 1891 census, we have: Isaac Churchman, Head, Married, 37, Agricultural Labourer, born Norfolk Castle Acre Elizabeth Churchman, Wife, Married, 34, Norfolk Swaffham Herbert Churchman, Son, Single, 13, Scholar, Norfolk Swaffham Frances Churchman, Daughter, Single, 11, Scholar, Norfolk Castle Acre George Churchman, Son, 9, Scholar, Norfolk Castle Acre John Churchman, Son, 7, Scholar, Norfolk Castle Acre Annie Churchman, Daughter, 5, Scholar, Norfolk Castle Acre Gertrude Churchman, Daughter, 1, Norfolk Castle Acre Alice Churchman, Daughter, 3, Norfolk Castle Acre Living in Castle Acre NB: I'm taking the transcriber's word for it that the youngest child is Gertrude as the writing on the form is pretty near illegible.
