Poohmad2003 Posted June 13, 2011 Share Posted June 13, 2011 Hi all, This is my very first post on this forum so firstly want to say a big HI!! The main reason for joining this forum was to see if there is anybody that may be able to help with my family tree. I did start tracing my tree a few months ago but have since hit a brick wall. I was just wondering if anyone had any tips or could help at all?? Sarah x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poohmad2003 Posted June 13, 2011 Author Share Posted June 13, 2011 Thank you all! Firstly, The family name is Pilgrim. I am the Great Great Granddaughter of the footballer James Ernest Pilgrim (born abt 1874 and abt. 1939. He was a famous footballer. I have James' parents as Robert Pilgrim (of Norfolk) & Elizabeth Draycott (of Kimberworth, Rotherham). I am ok with the newer parts of the family as I have found a few census' etc but I am really struggling to find the parents of Robert Pilgrim who was born in Norfolk abt. 1834. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Kind Regards, Sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poohmad2003 Posted June 14, 2011 Author Share Posted June 14, 2011 Thanks Rivelin6, That is the Robert I'm looking for but struggling to go any further back. I don't suppose anyone has any idea of how to trace further back, eg, Robert & Ann? Thanks, Sarah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hillsbro Posted June 14, 2011 Share Posted June 14, 2011 Looking at the I.G.I. the most likely North Walsham marriage entry for Robert's parents (if we can exclude a entry with the spelling Anne - though of course spellings varied) would seem to be the John Pilgrim who married Ann Rust at North Walsham on 31 December 1822.

Thanks, Sarah Have you tried Family Search because they sometimes have people further back,or buy a baptism disc for the area. Even better plan a visit to the area or get a researcher from that area to do some look ups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
