Hi Glynn
Thank you very much. That would be absolutely fantastic. I will look forward to hearing from you. Your help is very very much appreciated.
Regards
Irene

I'll be in touch when I get a chance as I am related to Tabitha and I have lots of information on the family.

Wow. Thats great. Thank you. I will take a look at the images. Fantastic to be able to get some addition information on the extra children.

Thanks again for your help. Much appreciated.

https://familysearch.org/search/collection/list#page=1®ion=UNITED_KINGDOM_IRELAND
FS's main collections are:
England Births and Christenings, 1538-1975
England Deaths and Burials, 1538-1991
England Marriages, 1538–1973

However, there's fair number of other sets for Norfolk - most are unindexed, or at best, partly indexed.
Try a search first, before resorting to browsing the images - check out the following paths:
England, Norfolk Parish Registers, 1538-1900 > Litcham > Marriages > 1768-1799 > Image 11 of 15

England, Norfolk Parish Registers, 1538-1900 > Litcham > Index to Baptisms > 1550-1809 > Image 147 of 179
[Not the original & I don't see a Tabitha, but there is a Charlotte bp 1/5/1764 d/o Joseph & Mary Dagless]

This path leads to original:
England, Norfolk Parish Registers, 1538-1900 > Litcham > Baptisms, Marriages, Burials > 1714-1812 > Image 18 of 86
[In addition to Charlotte, there's Mary bp 2/8/1761 - there's a nice entry near top of LH page:
Jermery, travelling Comedians, was bap'd April 2d 1758]

As you know, or at least could guess, the church made its own back-up copy of the parish registers.
These were usually called the Bishop's Transcripts, although in Norfolk, one often comes across the Archdeacon's Transcripts.
Note Gins post refers to: Church St Nicholas At
Normally, I would expect Church St Nicholas AT, but that's how FreeREG does it for BTs/ATs.

England, Norfolk Archdeac...'s Transcripts, 1600-1812 > Norfolk > Mattishall > 1726-1812 > Baptisms, Marriages, Burials > Image 22 of 112
[I don't see any 1760 Adamson]

Thanks for the info on John and Elizabeth and also on Tabitha. Thrilled to have this info as I haven't had anything on any parents of John so its a good start.

Thank you very much for your kindness in helping me out. I do appreciate it very much.

Irene

some people seem to have Tabitha's parent's as john burroughs & Elizabeth.

I have been looking at the Norfolk record's and found this one, it is in the right time frame but I am not saying these are her parent's.

john burroughs & Elizabeth Fairchild.
20 june 1756.
st George tombland.
Norwich.

also someone has Tabitha burroughs 1762 in there tree,no place of birth recorded but maybe you could send a personal message to them,you never know they may have some info.

I still cannot find Tabitha's birth,

Thanks for the website info and the children info. Didn't have the website info. Very Interesting.

Irene

The public trees on Ancestry have hit the same brick wall as you, and one had Tabitha Burroughs as both married to, and fathered by, John Adamson...!!!!!

Children, whom you probably already have, are listed as Catherine, John, James, Maria, Ralph, Thomas, William and Tabitha.

The public trees on Ancestry can be viewed for free on Mundia while it's in the beta phase, as they are both owned by Ancestry.

(though martynsue said there was a problem with the Mundia site today)

Hi

Thanks for trying to find the christenings for me. Unfortunately I do not have a subscription to ancestry. I did have one a while back which expired but when I looked at renewing they have put their prices up very expensive. Unfortunately with the exchange rate it is a bit difficult for me to be able to renew again but would like to try another sub sometime down the line.

Maybe there is someone with an ancestry sub who could look at the trees for me.

Thanks again for the info. I appreciate it and look forward to hearing from you again.

Irene

hi Irene,
I still cannot find any detail's on john & Tabitha,i took a look on mundia and 2 people have them both in their tree's,there was a problem with viewing them so I will look again tomorrow.

have you checked ancestry to see if anyone has them in their tree,just as a pointer to give you a starting place.

hi Irene,
no luck at the moment on john & Tabitha but I have found this---

Norwich st john timberhill baptisms.

adamson ralph.
21 02 1798.
father john--
mother Tabitha (burroughs.)


adamson Thomas.
25 05 1800.
father john--
mother Tabitha (burroughs).

I am still looking for them.

Hi

Thank you for your reply. Yes please anything would help to try and locate John and Tabitha Adamsons birthplace, christening or parents names as we have come to a brickwall with these two. It would be fantastic if we could go back a little further.

Your help is very much appreciated. Thank you for your kindness.

Irene

I have access to nfhs record's,
what do you want to know,is it the birth 's of Tabitha burrows and john adamson.

It's frustrating not to be able to access baptism records for Mattishall and Litcham for the relevant period. I know there's no guarantee that's where they were born, but I'd like to be able to check it out. :-(

Fantastic. Thanks for the info. Pity it didn't give more parent into. Appreciate the help.

Thanks.
