You have done well! There seemed to be a large number of people leaving Norfolk via Holland during that period - for religious reasons.

Norfolk Records office would hold earlier parish records -

William White (my Great grandfather X7) (Born 1610 Norfolk?) son of Thomas? sailed 25 March 1634 for New England aboard 'Mary and John' under Master Robert Sayres. I have complete history (all children of each generation) to myself (Canadian Connection)
I am trying to find documentation to his parentage and beyond. Have five manuals with all documentation. Am now member of SOG (London) and will cross Atlantic April 29/08 to attend Olympia Grand Hall Show, 2-4 May. Need advice and direction re using Archives and Family Records Office (nr Angel Tube stop on Northern Line)
