William Crook

[Toppers]

Hi,

I can trace my family back to William Crook of Old Buckenham, Norfolk, UK in 1758 and his Wife Phoebe/Pheby Crook nee Briggs of same village.

I am trying to go further back if possible

They both died and are buried in Merton, Norfolk UK

Any help much appreciated

Steve,

yes it draws a blank for her....

Not sure why though either as Crook or Briggs as well as Pheby or Phoebe

[p.risboy]

Have you tried variations of Buckingham/Buckenham old and new.

I've found a few 'unconnected' rellies doing that, and I think Buckenham was one of them.

Hmmmm, perhaps there's more to be added to that site. Keep an eye on it.

There are a few other members who've got rellies in Norfolk, and are a more knowledgeable than me.
