Baptisms 1813 to 1880
Lakenham parish, once a separate
settlement on the River Yare, has now been absorbed by the city of Norwich
and is just a district of the wider city today. Prior to the late 1810s
this village on the Yare held few inhabitants and was a quiet rural place
marking the crossing point of the river. In the latter half of the 1810
- 1820 decade the city finally exploded outside its mediaeval walls and
suburbs rapidly grew up at the edge of the city but within the parish
of Lakenham. Baptisms begin at around 6 per annum rapidly expanding to
in excess of 100 per annum within just a handful of years. |

These records were transcribed from microfiche 4 to 9 in the collection of the Norfolk Record Office. These fiches represent a fairly old filming and there are a few problems with clarity in places. With the urban setting there were also frequent changes of hand-writing and not all were as clear as would be hoped for. Despite these caveats it is to be hoped that not too many errors will have crept into the transcript. |
