Thanks for this. My most recent British ancestors, the Stearman, arrived in Australia from the Cawston/Salle/Reepham district in the 1870s so your work gave me a good insight into my origins.

Was excited to see the All Saints Church and churchyard. My family originates from Norfolk. My 4x great grandmother is buried in that churchyard. Charlotte Fletcher Scott

Thank you so much for this. I’ve been commencing family history research for some time. I put it that way because I know there are people far more experienced than I! My father’s surname (and still mine) was Fenn, and it seems from the records that the name really does simply indicate a person from the Fens! Obviously with spelling variations over the years! It’s hard to find anyone with a Fenn/Fen etc type surname on parish records who isn’t in Norfolk in the 1500s and quite a lot in the 1600s. Mine are traced back from East London, back to Hertfordshire, then I’m looking also at Bedfordshire; but I think that if I can keep going I’ll get back to the Fens. It might be difficult, though, as mine seem to have been in Herts/Beds or maybe Bucks perhaps as far back as I can possibly go. However, it seems likely they would have been Fens people before that. It’s just fascinating. I’ll be very interested to discover more about the life of Fenland people centuries ago. I’m pretty sure mine would have been among the poorest.
