from Belgium
- Kings Lynn
One of my ancestors was Rachel JONES, reported in belgian records as Lynn (Norfolk) born in July 1779. She should be the daughter of Jonathan (London born abt 1751) and PHILLIPS Catharina (died before 1815) and have at least one brother, Salomon (London born abt 1781), my g-g-great-grandfather.
They all came to Brussels respectively in 1815 and abt 1822. They died at Brussels or left Belgium in 1834 towards Holland (without any other precision in the records).
Not much more is known by me and until today I didn't succeed in finding the link with a possible branch that remained English. We all became Belgian people.
Who does know perhaps any more hereabout ?

Palmer Hunt
- Kings Lynn
I have a great great grandfather born in Kings Lynn in 1809 called Raymond Palmer Hunt. He married Martha Elizabeth Groome in Kings Lynn
and then moved to Islington, Middlesex where he became a grocer/general shopkeeper.
I cannot trace his Norfolk family but in the censuses I have found other Palmer Hunts living in Kings Lynn or born there and am trying to find
out if they are related. Several of them are also shopkeepers of some type. Could they have been a result of a marriage between a Hunt and a
Palmer or was it a common double name in Norfolk?
