Baptisms 1813 to 1880
The parish of Thrigby lies in eastern Norfolk about 7
miles northwest of the port of Great Yarmouth. Thrigby sits on the former
island of Flegg in Broadland around a mile south of the A1064 road which
connects Acle through to Caister. Thrigby is a small parish (less than
600 acres in size) situated on the eastern banks of the Muck Fleet, a
short channel connecting Filby Broad with the River Bure. Thrigby itself
is little more than a hamlet - sited at just 3 metres above the sea it
nevertheless is a little higher than river level and thus just dry. Most
of the parish is sandy arable land (the former island) whilst alongside
the river the traditional Broadland pursuits of wildfowling, reed harvesting
and grazing marsh would have all played their part in the economy. |

The parish only recently deposited its baptismal register, this standard 800-entry book is thus yet to be filmed and the transcript was prepared from the original register making for easy reading and no image issues. The register runs beyond the transcript period and was closed in 2015. Few issues were noted in what was therefore a straightforward piece to prepare. |
