Searching for Massingham ancestors in Norfolk especially parishes of Runcton Holme and Downham Market.
My Great Grandparents were Benjamin and Elizabeth Massingham (nee Gutteridge) by c1844 Runcton, had following children:
Horace b1888, Gwendoline Maud born 1889, Emma Kate born 1877 Downham, William Herbert born 1875 .
William Herbert married Elizabeth Cowling and her family had a pub on the Lynn Road in Downham.

Any of this ring any bells?
Regards
