Gotts Surname Family History

William 193

William was born in 1723, supposedly in Stratton Strawless. The first record is his marriage to Margaret 738 Baldwin on 3 Jun 1745 at St Michael at Plea, Norwich. Following the birth of two girls, Margaret presumably died and William married Elizabeth 194 Burrage on 1 May 1757 at Hevingham. They had 7 children that we know of, including these born in Hevingham:

• George 101 b 1759
• John 196 b 1761
• Thomas 195 b 1763 

Questions are:

We now know his age as we have the marriage licence bond for William & Margaret in 1745, so born in 1723.

• Where was he really from? His marriage states he was single of Stratton Strawless, but we can't find a baptism there or nearby.
• Who were his parents?
• Where was he buried? Elizabeth was buried in Hevingham, but we don't have William's burial.

See the Research Notes page for further detail.

George 101

George was born 1759 in Hevingham, married Anne 102 Howard in 1779 in Honing and raised a family of 10 in East Ruston. These include:

• Thomas 200 bp 1779
• George 105 bp 1781
• John 106 bp 1783
• William 107 bp 1786
• Elizabeth 108 bp 1788 m George Davis: This tree was reference  #011 originally
• James 109 bp 1791
• Hannah 166 b 1801, had daughter Hannah Maria Springfield 1439 b 1826 Gt Yarmouth, m John Thomas Colman in 1849
• Sarah 111 bp 1797 m John Kemp in 1818.

East Ruston was very agricultural. These pictures of Ranworth village and horse-driven ploughing represent what it would have been like 150 years ago.
