"Leesen carefully; I will only say zis once!"

I think Alfred is one of my lot. This is a bit worrying because it means I am connected to Jean Herbert!

Jean told me that an elderly Harriet Clarke c 1788 was living with the couple on one census (don't ask me which one). I think Harriet was a sister of Ann Clarke c 1783, who was my ggg grandmother. Ann married George Morse c 1810.

Both families were from the Awre/Blakeney area. So can someone please work out how Alfie is connected to me? I can't find a baptism, but that's probably because the family were non conformists. Actually, that's probably where I get it from!

Thank you
Chris
