Hi

I have an Ancestor Elizabeth Powell nee Blanch who always states on census she was born Yarmouth...c 1803 ish...

1851 census at East Dean
HO107; Piece: 1959; Folio: 224; Page: 21

I was thinking Yarmouth, Norfolk or even I.O.W maybe?

There is an Edward Blanch living at Coleford in 1871, he was born c 1788, birthplace given as Norfolk, Yarmouth (transcribed as Garmouth)

RG10; Piece: 5298; Folio: 58; Page: 3

looking at census for people born in Yarmouth but living in Forest I came across a couple of entries that have Yarmouth as the civil parish..
one being in 1841

James Curtis c 1796

Class: HO107; Piece: 351; Book: 4; Civil Parish: Yarmouth; County: Gloucestershire; Enumeration District: 2; ; Page: 4; Line: 4; GSU roll: 288764
district is Northleach, which I think is the Cotswolds?

I've not been able to pinpoint my Elizabeth as definitely from Norfolk.. and I never heard of a Yarmouth in Glous..

Just wondering if some confusion at enumeration and these people could really come from Glous?

Am I making sense? Opinions appreciated :)
