Reminders of my Youth
I remember being taken to the village when I was very young - I believe one of my great uncles ran the Pub - One of the ubquitous Jermy Family - I am coming to Norfolk to try and research my roots at the end of July this year - Seeing the photo rang a real bell - it must have been about 1955 when we came !
There was a farm yard behind the pub with pigs and chickens and the roads seemed dry and dusty. It was a hot summer and we had been taken to Great Yarmouth and I was sun burned ! - If memory serves the pub was called "The White Horse" It seemed dark and there was a lot of dark wood in the bar area ?
Ah well - look forward to coming for the first time since then - may be it will trigger other memories - and I might be able to find other family members

Hello, are you saying that your relative ran a pub in Hingham? I am interested if so because my great-grandmother was one Sarah (Anna) Jermey who married Charles Webster Jr of Mattishall. His mother and father lived in Hingham. We are having trouble establishing for sure who Sarah's parents were.

Although I have only been to Great Ellingham once I believe that all my family came from there - the family name was Barnard.
I have found that our family ran the Crown - they were there in the 1841 census with Lydia shown as publican. In a later census Lydia was shown as a shopkeeper in 11 Town Green. Her maiden name was Lydia Yeomans and she was the wife of John Robert Barnard.
My side of the family came from her son George Barnard who was a tailor and who was also there in the 1841 census. He married Maria Sapey and their son Charles George was my great grandfather.
I would love to hear from any other members of the Barnard or Yeomans families.
