Dear Sheryl,
Thetford is on the border of Nfk/ sfk although the actual town is Norfolk
some of the villages in the registration district of Thetford are definitely
Suffolk. Although to complicate things further at various times there have
been boundary changes with certain villages swapping back and forth. There
are some useful pages on the genuki/ Norfolk site that are very useful as is
the Norfolk Family History Society site.
Hope this helps, Good Luck,
Helen
