Hello All!

I have a little more information on the ROLFE family that am gathering information about. I am researching the family of Martha Rolfe who was born on 25 Apr 1850 in Terrington, Norfolk and who married John Leverington on 12 Oct 1872 in North Barsham, Norfolk. Their marriage certificate gives her father as Anthony Rolfe and was witnessed by Sarah Rolfe and John Fowle(r?). Here is the census from 1871:

Brancaster Street, Brancaster, Burnham, Norfolk 1871

Anthony Rolfe, Head, Widower, 55yrs, Shepherd, b.Norfolk
Martha Rolfe, Dau, Sgl, 20yrs, Housekeeper, b.Terington?, Norfolk
Sarah Rolfe, Dau, Sgl, 18yrs, Unemployed Serv., b.Terington?, Norfolk
Anthony Rolfe, Son, 16yrs, Shepherd, b.Islington, Norfolk
Joseph Rolfe, Son, 12yrs, b.Walpole, Norfolk

In the 1881 census, the family had moved to Hoyland, York (or had lived there). Martha Rolfe married John Leverington:

GENUKI has a birth that seems likely to be of Martha's brother, Anthony:

place/register:

Wisbech District Tilney cum Islington
1856 ROLFE, Anthony s/o Anthony + Mary


I have a marriage certificate for Anthony Rolfe and Mary Mann dated 03 Nov 1842 in Tilney St. Lawrence, Norfolk. This certificate gives his father's name as Robert Rolfe and her father's name as James Mann. The witnesses were Robert Rolfe and Hannah Joice (Joyce?).

This is all I have. If anyone has anything else that they can add to this, please do. If you see an error, please correct it.

Thanks so much,
Mary A. Allen
