I have discovered that My Great Grandfather Thomas Calver b. 1829 of Burnham Thorpe d.1884 left a widow who was Susan Bobbin b.1839 of Burnham Thorpe until they married there in 1871. Soon after her husband Thomas Calver died, Susan Calver re-married a Widower: William Bell. They moved into Mill House Farm, Stanhoe (now Mill House) with her children: my Grandfather Thomas Henry Calver (16) Ethel Calver (15); Harcourt Calver (12) and Clarence J Calver (11). In 1896 my Grandfather Thomas Henry Calver Edith Amelia Riches of Burnham Overy and they moved into Farm at Station Farm, Stanhoe
