The Colbys of Norfolk and Suffolk
My second great grandfather, Edward Denny, married Ann Colby (the lady on the left) on 8th December 1843 in Wortwell Independent Church, Norfolk.
With help I have traced Ann back to Joseph Colby born in 1662 in Weybread, Suffolk. Some of these records must be rechecked as I have been sent some of the dates. But with this in mind, I hope you enjoy my family of Colbys.
Please contact me if you are a relative or have any further information. Please do not rely on any of the information on the site but either check with me or use it as a guide.
I had great fun making this web page in 24 hours. I have now discovered a lot of photos I will include soon.
