Jacksons And Popes

My husband's mother came from Somerleyton, and he and I visited the village and church two or three times between 1978 and 2004. We though it a very beautiful area. The churchyard has the last resting places of quite a few of my husband's ancestors, and I believe some of them worked at Somerleyton Hall. In, I think, in the gardening area. His mother's maiden name was Florence Jackson, and her mother's maiden name was Pope.Tomorrow, I am visiting the village and Hall with the Essex Theatre and Leisure Club, and I just know that it will be a memorable day. I hope to find the village as beautiful as it is in my memory!

The Pope name first appears in Somerleyton in 1672 when they farmed at Wickerwell Farm. In 1840s Charles Pope was a builder and beerseller. In 1860 the railway bridgeman was Henry Pope. The last Pope to appear in the Parish records was a Charles Pope in 1910.
