Dear Ken,

He probably married before registration occurred in 1837. Your best bet is
to look in the parish that his wife was born. ie hire the parish church
records from the LDS library. He may have married in Hemsby. Where were the
children born?

If you can check St Cath House Indexes, it might be worth a try to find him
on the first few years from 1837 depending when his chidren were born. If
they were born before 1837, it's back to the church records.

Good luck!
