Thankyou everyone. All I know is that Thomas Ellis was a clothier by trade. He had at least one son called Edward who was born in Lakenham Norfolk. Edward later moved to Wakefield where he got married in 1942.

Hi There are quite a few Thomas Ellis born in Norfolk in the late 1700s. It would help if you knew a bit more about the one you are looking for, trade etc. I have listed a few but not their families, if you have any more clues I will have another look. Thomas Ellis b 1788 Norwich widower, handloom weaver b 1789 Gt Yarmouth fish seller b 1789 Ludham Millwright b 1791 saxlingham Carpenter b 1792 Claxton Farm Hand Please e mail me if you think any of these may belong to you or if you want to know more.

Hi, There is no national index for the 1851 census so you would stand more chance of a response if you specify which county. Not all counties have indexed the 1851 - it's a bit hit or miss. Gwynne

I am looking for any details on Richard Walker from Wakefield/Dewsbury and Thomas Ellis from Norfold. Both born late 1700ish. Thanks Gail
