Hi Ron
An interesting email. I have been transcribing the Winterton
with East Somerton mainly to find all the POWLES and also for the Parish
Register Indices site. You have probably been through these PRs - there
are a number of KERRISON entries.
It is obvious from the PRs that there was a population expansion with
new names in marriages and baptisms but then I noticed that some names
just stopped and I don't think that they all died and were buried. The
earlier email about coal barges may have have provided the answer,
Winterton was a coastal location, there are a number of recorded
'shipwrecked mariners' buried.

You mention a study in the 1970s, did it refer to the places the people
travelled to?

Do you know if the Middlesbrough Record Office, lists of "Emigrants from
Norfolk" (1861 or 1871??) is available on web or paper?

I will certainly take a look on the Rootsweb site as you have suggested.
Many thanks for this information
