A Chamberlain Family of Trowse Newton, Bramerton & Norwich (c.1640-1860's)

This family was from Trowse Newton, a parish just outside of the city of Norwich (now a suburb). In the 1760's several members moved to St Peter Mancroft, Norwich.

Bramerton is just over 5km east of Trowse Newton.

A Chamberlain Family of Happisburgh with a Norwich flavour (about 1510 - 1680's)

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.

A Chamberlain Family of Mattishall & Norwich (1630's - 1850's)

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.

A Chamberlain Family of Pulham & Norwich (about 1710 - 1900's)

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.

A Chamberlain Family of Wymondham & Norwich (about 1520 - 1740's)

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.

A Chamberlain Family of Loddon/Seething & Norwich (about 1600 - 1780's)

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.

A Chamberlain Family of Hethersett & Norwich (about 1760 - 1860's)

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.

Orphan Chamberlain Families of Norwich

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.

Sir Joseph Chamberlin,[8] born 1712.[38] Died 26/8/1762, Norwich, Co Norfolk.[38] Buried St Gregory, Norwich, Co Norfolk.[38] Will dated 1762.[9] Grocer.[9,38] Mayor of Norwich.[38] "Joseph Chamberlin, who was married to Sarah (1716 – 1786) was a Grocer and Mayor of Norwich 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, The Cathedral, Norwich, Co Norfolk.[4] {The IGI gives this marriage as John Chamberlayn.[8]} Joseph of St Gregory, Norwich & Sarah of St John Sephulcher, Norwich, Co Norfolk.[4] Sarah born 1716, died 16/1/1786, Norwich, Co Norfolk.[38]

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.

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 Norfolk.[14] Resided 1841, Hales, Loddon and Clavering district, Co Norfolk ('Chambers').[17] Resided 1851, Jury Street, Great Yarmouth, Co Norfolk.[14]

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 Marsh, Norwich, Co Norfolk.[8] Married Susan Borry, 13/10/1674, St Mary in the Marsh, Norwich, Co Norfolk.[8]

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.

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 Stephen, Norwich, Co Norfolk (62yo, pauper).[4] Married Elizabeth,[4,8] c.1747. Married 2nd Sarah,[8] c.1751.

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 Norfolk.[8]

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).
