Whilst
not from Norwich, this family seemed to have a preference for marriages
in St Stephen, Norwich, which is where my own Chamberlain's were
centred The co-incidence appears to be just that and there is no
obvious connection, even though St Stephen's is on the opposite side of
Norwich from Happisburgh. The forname Henry does not appear in this
family, supporting the lack of a connection.

Based in Mattishall, from the earliest mentions, this family had a preference for marriages in Norwich and
several branchs of the family settled in Norwich. The family appears to
have been in Mattishall as early as the mid 1600's and there are
several references to the family having been titled, however they do
not appear in the 1664 Norfolk Visitations and the claim to a title is likely not legitimate. There were several earlier
references in the mid 1400's to Chamberlain's and Mattishall, however
it is impossible to determine the connection, if any (Dated 1/1/1462,
"Conveyance by Robert Mortymer, Esq., to William Chamberleyn, Kt.,
Anne, his wife, William Bredewell, senior, Edmund Bokyngham, Esqs.,
John Paynott and Laurence Gerard, clerk, of the manor of Barnham Broom
with appurtenances in Carleton Forehoe, Colton, Barford, Bixton,
Honingham, ?Rust's Green, Runhall, Tuddenham and Mattishall."[12] Dated
21/1/1462, "Conveyance by Robert Mortymer, Esq., to William Chamberlyn
and Anne, his wife, William Berdewell, senior, Edmund Bokenham, Esq.,
John Paynott and Laurence Gerard, clerk, of the manor of Barnham Broom
and lands etc. in Barnham Broom, Carleton Forehoe, Colton, Barford,
Bixton, Honingham, Runhall, Tuddenham and Mattishall."[12]). Born
around 1690 were two sets of brothers, William and Colvie Chamberlaine,
one set sons of Nicholas Chamberlaine and the other sons of Colvie
Chamberlaine Sr. Which were the William and Colvie who appear in
Mattishall in the 1740's is not entirely certain. A careful reading of
deeds & wills indicates that Colvie (born 1650's) died c.1712/1713.
In 1713 his son was referred to as Colvie Jr, but in 1724 was referred
to as Colvie Sr. Colvie, s/o Nicholas, was a minor in 1712/1713 but by
1724 was of age and evidently was still living in Mattishall or nearby.
Deeds indicate that Mary Bodham nee Chamberlain inherited land which
originally passed to Colvie Sr in 1680, via his son, Colvie. This
indicates that the grandfather of Mary Bodham was Colvie Sr and not his
brother, Nicholas. Another deed indicates that the William who died
c.1754 was the brother of Colvie (b.1687), indicating both were sons of
Colvie Sr and not of Nicholas. Nicholas' son, Colvie, was presumably
the Colvie who died c.1735. Mary Bodham inherited c.1744 which suggests
her father was the Colvie who died c.1742 rather than the one who died
c.1735. The unusal forname Colvie/Colby liked derives from the Colby's
of Banham, who probably intermarried with the Matishall Chamberlain's a
generation or two prior to the first known Colvie Chamberlain, born in
the 1650's. Crest: An ass's head erased, ducally gorged

Researchers
who have studied Henry Chamberlain of Thorpe St Andrew who married
Esther Stoneham have failed to find Henry's parentage. All that is
certain about Henry's early days were that he was born about 1777, a
figure taken from his listed age in the 1841 census. This DOB seems a
trifle recent given that he married in 1795 - a DOB closer to 1770
would be more reasonable, noting that the 1841 census is notorious for
rounding off ages. Whilst male minors, those under 21yo, did marry, it
was not all that common and the parish register usually noted that the
husband was a minor and married with the consent of a parent. No such
comment is noted with Henry's marriage in 1795 suggesting, tho' not
proving, that he was born before 1774. Whilst
researching a different family grouping of Chamberlain's in the area of
Pulham in southern Co Norfolk, I found a family with a son, Henry,
baptised 1773, whose parents had moved to Thorpe St Andrew by the
1790's, dying there in that decade. Consequently we have a Henry
Chamberlain of the right age whose parents and possibly at least
some of his siblings were living in Thorpe St Andrew in the mid to
late 1790's, which is when and where Henry was first documented. Whilst
it is not possible to prove that the Henry who married Esther was the
son of Henry & Lydia of Gissing & Pulham, the evidence strongly
points that way.

Numerous
genealogies found online appear to have confused Henry baptised 1620,
s/o John (below) with a Henry of Hingham. Two important facts support
the claim of this confusion. The published genealogies of the emigrant Henry
Chamberlain (who died 1678 in the USA) state his father was Henry Sr.
There is no evidence of this Henry Sr in Wymondham and the Henry born
c.1620, Wymondham, was actually the son of John, not Henry Sr.
Secondly, there is a baptism of a Henry Jr (s/o Henry Sr) in Hingham in
1635. This is almost certainly the Henry who emigrated to the USA in
the 1650's, marrying there in the 1650's. Hingham is about 10km distant
from Wymondham, by road. The first two generations below are somewhat
speculative (John Sr and John Jr). The probates for two John's, one in
1594 and the other in 1615 likely point to successive generations. The
estimated DOB of William places him neatly as a son of John Sr. It is
possible William was the father of Dennys and John III, however
'William' does not subsequently appear in either of those two families.
A Margaret Chamberlin, widow, died c.1580, Wymondham (will dated
1580).[48] She may be the widow of an earlier generation or of an
additional, unknown, son of John born around 1520. At least one branch
of this family ended up in Norwich.

Seething
is about 25km south-east of Norwich. Loddon is 5km east of Seething.
The other localities are all within a few km of Seething. The first
child listed for Leonard (Mary) may be a red herring given the
significant distance between Loddon & Bradenham, however Leonard is
a rare name and the same mother is given for Mary as for the children
baptised in Loddon. Was Francis who died 1752, Norwich the grandfather
or great grandfather of William, Samuel, James & Francis, all born
around 1800? There are, unfortunately, too many holes in the Norwich
PR's in the mid to late 1700's to tell either way.

Mary
from Hethersett moved to Norwich before 1818 and had several
illegitimate children. She does not appear to have ever married. In the
1851 census one of her daughters is living with her and listed as
"sister", although either the transcriber of the census or the original
cenus taker appears to have had doubts and questioned the claimed
relationship.

Sir
Joseph's parentage is unknown. A search of the IGI and FreeREG
yields no Joseph Chamberlain born between 1707-1717 in Co Norfolk,
indicating either Joseph was born outside of Co Norfolk or (more
likely) he was baptised in a Norfolk parish that for which
transcriptions are not available around 1712. A possible parentage of
Joseph are John & Thomas Chamberlin of Trowse Newton. Joseph occurs
fairly frequently within this family as a forename. Joseph's daughter,
Sarah, also deeds a property in Norwich to Peter Chamberlain, grandson
of Thomas of Trowse Newton. There does appear to be a gap in the Trowse
Newton transcriptions around 1710, at least so far as the Chamberlain's
are concerned. Sir Joseph also names a daughter, Judith, a name which
also appears amongst the Trowse Newton Chamberlain's, around the same
time as Joseph's daughter was born. The claim in a biography of Sir
Joseph that descendents
of his established the firm "Chamberlin and Son",[38] would appear to
be inaccurate. Joseph had only one known son who survived to adulthood
(Joseph Jr), who moved to Rackheath. The Chamberlain's of "Chamberlin
and Son" date back to at least Henry Chamberlain, born in the early
1770's, too early to have been a son of Joseph Jr.

Norfolk.[38] Buried St Gregory, Norwich, Co Norfolk.[38] Will dated

who 'acquired a handsome fortune'. His descendants continued in the
same trade and by 1862 Chamberlin and Son were silk mercers, linen and
wool drapers, haberdashers and carpet factors. The grand Chamberlin
Department Store, on Guildhall Hill, became known as Norwich's answer
to Harrods during the late nineteenth and early twentieth century. Now
it is the City centre Tesco Store."[38] Married Sarah Ludlow, 3/4/1735,

Parentage
of John unknown. No John born about 1720 in Co Norfolk in the IGI or
FreeREG. The fact that John was baptised as an adult in 1749 strongly
suggests he was not baptised as an infant and it is doubtful his
parentage will ever be known since it was not recorded with his
baptism. Assuming the age at death is not entirely accurate, John may
have been born between 1710-1730, based on DOB's of children. John's
children to his first marriage
all died in infancy and his second wife was of such an age as to be
unlikely to have had any further children with John, his known child
with her also dying in infancy.

Norfolk.[4,7] Died 1757 & buried 6/6/1757, St Peter Mancroft,
Norwich, Co Norfolk (inf).[4]
The
earliest confirmed reference to William was his marriage in 1820, which
notes he was from Eaton. Eaton in medieval times was a village just
outside of Norwich, by the early 1800's the village had been swallowed
by Norwich and was another city parish. Apart from a family living
there in the 1600's, I have found evidence for only three Chamberlain
families living in Eaton, William below and two additional families
that were in Eaton for less than 5 years, one in the early 1800's and
the other in the 1870's. There is no evidence that William belonged to either of these families. According to the 1851
census William was born in Eaton, however I have found no trace of
possible parents in the parish (eg: in census records, their burials
etc). Most likely the place of birth given in the 1851 census is in
error. William's age at death along with his age given in various
census' give a range for his birth from 1793 to 1799. Too broad a range
to conclusively associate William with one of the known William's born
at this time. The large gap between the first child and the 2nd is
somewhat puzzling, however only the one child from his first marriage
is living with William and his 2nd wife in the 1841 census, if there were any other children, they all died young.

This
family appears in the IGI PR extracts & the 1851 census with the
spelling of Chamberlain, however they appear in the 1841 census as
Chambers. The family probably never lived in Norwich, however several
of the children were baptised there.
1. William Chamberlain,[10] born 1798.[14] Died 1840's. Married Mary Ward,
21/1/1823, Hales, Co Norfolk.[10] Mary born 1793,[14,17] Loddon, Co

Joseph
appears in Norwich in the mid-1600's. Whilst there were several
Joseph's baptised in the early 1600's in and around Norwich, none seem
to match this Joseph. The DOB's for his children imply a birth between
1630-1645 (assuming he was around 20yo when the oldest was born and
around 50yo when the youngest was born). The Joseph's for whom baptisms
are known all fall outside of this time frame.
1. Joseph Chamberlin,[4,6,7] probably born between 1630-1645. Married
Martha,[7] before 1664. Married Ruth Felton, 18/9/1670, St Mary in the

There
are no obvious parents for Henry, nor any trace of his marriage in
Norwich. It is possible that Henry and Sarah moved to Norwich after
they married elsewhere, possibly with one or more children - one would
normally expect Henry to have named a son after himself.
1. Henry Chamberlin,[4,8] probably born between 1700-1710 {based on DOB's of children } Married Sarah.[4,8] Children of Henry Chamberlain & Sarah:

Sarah Chamberlin,[8] probably born between 1738-1748. Married Joseph Whitehead, 16/10/1768, St Gregory, Norwich, Co Norfolk.[8]
No
obvious parentage for John. It is possible that John Jr, s/o John &
Sarah, is a red herring and does not belong in this family.
1. John Chamberlin,[8] born 1724.[4] Died 1786 & buried 3/3/1786, St

George
appears to have moved aorund a fair bit - his children appear to have
been baptised in a variety of Norwich parishes. The baptisms all
name the mother - it is possible, tho' unlikely, that there were several George & Ann's contemporary.
1. George Chamberlain,[8] probably born between 1715-1725 {estimated from
DOB of children }. Married Ann Peck, 3/6/1744, St Clement, Norwich, Co

William,
Samuel, James & Francis are all likely siblings. All were
cordwainers, apart from James all had known sons named Francis and
Samuel was a witness at James' marriage. The handful of other
Chamberlain's of Norwich connected with the cordwainer trade are
clearly not related to this family. Apart from this family grouping,
Francis is a rare Chamberlain forename. The other contemporary
reference is to a Charles who had two sons named Francis in the 1810's.
This Carles was also listed as a shoemaker several times (tho' mostly a
weaver). Charles however married in 1808 & had a child in 1808,
plus Charles does not appear in the following families, so any
connection with Charles is highly unlikely. Did the 4 brothers arrive
in Norwich as young men or were they born there or moved there with
their parents as children? If the later, traces of their parents would
be expected to be found in Norwich, but to date no such evidence has
been found. Samuel & his family vanish from Co Norfolk
before 1841 - there is no trace of the family in the 1841, 1851 or 1861
census (the later anywhere in England). Likely the family emigrated
between 1836-1841. James & his family vanish from Co Norfolk before
1841 - there is no trace of the family in the 1841, 1851 or 1861 census
(the later anywhere in England). Likely the family emigrated between
1836-1841. Whilst James & Mary are common names, I have been unable
to find further traces of Phoebe & Harriot, either in census' or
BMD's. There is no trace of a matching baptism for Francis in FreeREG
or the IGI for Co Norfolk. He is also apparently missing from the 1851
census and died before the 1881 census, so his place of birth is
unknown. There were 3 Sarah Chamberlain's listed in FreeBMD as dying in
Norwich between 1841-1861 (1848, 1849, 1853, the last is otherwise
accounted for).
