Baptisms 1813 to 1880
The parish of Brundall lies in eastern Norfolk
about 5 miles east of the city of Norwich. The parish is a
riverside one on the north bank of the River Yare and very low
lying, barely 15 metres above sea level. Originally a rather
quiet and small settlement Brundall has grown rapidly in modern
times as commuters have sought to escape the confines of the
city and now large estates of bungalows and prestige homes dot
the landscape of the parish. It is difficult to remember that
this originally was a parish of less than 100 folk engaged in
agriculture and exploitation of the river flood plains and their
reed beds. |

A single standard 800-entry register book covers the period of the transcript and indeed continued in use up to the end of the 20th century such was the small population. This register is filmed on Microfilm MF1679 in the collection of the Norfolk Record Office which was used to prepare this transcript. The film is a modern one benefiting from the current much improved image quality. The register has been subject to some damage in the past and the handwriting varies extensively despite the few entries but despite these factors this proved to be a straightforward transcript to prepare and it is to be hoped few errors will have crept in. |
