WALPOLE.

 

Child of Walpole:

 

MARY WALPOLE

1753 26th September. Married Thomas Chilvers at Great Fransham.

Children: Mary Chilvers 1753, Fanny or Frances Chilvers 1755, Thomas Chilvers 1756, Elizabeth Chilvers 1758, Catherine Chilvers 1758, Andrew Chilvers 1761, William Chilvers 1762, Elizabeth Chilvers 1765, Ann Chilvers 1767, Susanna Chilvers 1769, Hannah Chilvers 1769, Martha Chilvers 1771, Penelope or Penniniah Chilvers 1772.

THERE IS FURTHER RESEARCH TO DOFrom the parishes surrounding Great Fransham are the following baptisms: Mary Ann Walpole baptised in 1730 at East Dereham and Elizabeth Walpole baptised in 1732 at Scarning. Their parents were Joseph Walpole and Elizabeth Hudson who married in 1729 at Litcham. There is no indication, though, where this family actually ended up.

 

Thomas, Catherine, Andrew, William and Penelope are all names that feature in the Chilvers side of the family so the other forenames could well come from Mary Walpole's family.
