Baptisms 1813 to 1880
The parish of Bixley just a
couple of miles southeast of the city of Norwich and barely a half
mile away from the city's southern bypass. The parish has always
been small and today's Ordnance Survey maps fail to show it at all
there being no population centre not even a collection of houses
and farms that could merit the term hamlet. Bixley St
Wandregeselius sits a few hundred yards east of the B1332 road
which connects Norwich through to the Suffolk market town of
Bungay. Even by the standards of its county Bixley parish was
tiny, covering just 640 acres of farmland with the majority set to
arable. Early gazetteers place its population as close to 100, an
optimistic figure and much lower today. |

A single standard 800-entry register book covers the period of this transcript and runs onwards to the early 20th century whence it was abandoned less than half used. This register is a very recent deposit with Norfolk Record Office yet despite this good quality digitised imagery is available to view for those with a subscription to the major commercial sites. A straightforward piece to prepare as a result. |
