I am interested in any information anyone has to share regarding the origins of the Crane family in Norfolk, England. I have traced my paternal line back to Thornham, Norfolk and am particularly interested in obtaining further information about this line.

My g-g-g-g-grandfather was John Crane: b. abt. 1758 in Thornham, Norfolk, England. John married Ann Evetts in Thornham on 22 Aug 1791. They had 4 children:

Any information or suggestions about researching the Cranes in Norfolk, England is greatly appreciated.
