Family history enquiry from Australia

Graham from New South Wales, Australia found the Norton Bavant site and got in touch. Apparently Graham has been researching his family’s history and his search led him to the UK. Back in 1782 Graham’s Great-Great-Great Grandfather was born in Norton Bavant and the family remained in the village until 1841 when they moved to Glamorgan, South Wales. The family lived in a house in the village that is still inhabited today and most of the family worked at South Farm. Graham & his wife hope to visit Norton Bavant in the future.
