My Ekes are sorted out! I thought I would email to say that all the mortar I chipped away at finally yielded its secrets! I finally found out that my g grandfather, Robert James Eke b Hindolveston 1849 was the son of James (1825) and Lucy (Sands)and that James was the son of James (1797) born in Guestwick, but christened in Wood Dalling. He was married to Hannah ? He in turn was the son of John (1765 East Dereham) and Tammy Patfield. John was the son of Peter Eke (1740 East Dereham) and Frances Dorly. Peter Eke was the son of another Peter Eke (1708 East Dereham) and Mary Foulsham. That Peter was the son of Francis Eke (1684 East Dereham) and Mary Lance and Francis was the son of William and Martha Eke. I don't know anything about them except that William died in 1705 and left a will with all his children's names.I attach this info in case it is of use to anyone else out there trying to put their Ekes together! Don't give up! Jane
