The Larkman Family in Norfolk

Our Larkman ancestors lived near Reepham in Norfolk, but we are unsure of their earlier history. A Robert Larkman was baptised in 1735 at Weybourne on the north Norfolk coast, who may have been the Robert Larkman who married Diana Fish in Guestwick, north-west of Reepham. We have found branches of the family in Guestwick, Great Cressingham and Salle as well as in the Reepham parishes.
