This document is a transposition of some Slipper family records that my late mother said related to her father's family. I have added some notes on various members of the Slipper family mentioned, which show their connection to the village of Itteringham. These notes were gleaned from the 1851 (Norfolk) and 1881 (National) census records plus other web sources and Slipper descendants.
Brian Jarman - 21st March 2005

1. Sarah daughter of James Higgin and Mary his wife was baptised the 13 day of June 1734
2.


This was taken from the Registry of Irstead by me William Slickles, Curate My own age this to certify that Joseph Slipper the sun of Joseph and Mary his
wife was born the first of December 1741


3.


Sarah Slipper was born July 15 day about 20 minnites after 3 in the morning 17(9)7

No obvious reference to Sarah in either census, I believe she may be the person responsible for the later personal notes and is therefore married to George Smith but not staying with him at time of 1851 census.

4. Robert Slipper was born December 5 about 25 munites after 7 in the morning 1800

Cannot find any references to Robert

John Dade and Samuell Blyth Slipper was born December (4) about 12 at night (night scored through) noon 1801

Born at Itteringham, Samuell did not survive for long, he was buried 4th May 1802. John appears to have married a Rachael Smith in Itteringham on 6th November 1825. Next reference is 1881 census is living in Kent with his son James (born Oulton 1828) a cooper, and family. By this time he is a widower. He is listed as a ‘vat maker’.

8. Elizabeth Slipper was born Febuery 29 about munites after 9 at night 1808

Born at Itteringham, married a Thomas Dewing shown in White's directory 1845, to be a “tailor” in Itteringham. White's 1851 finds them in Chapel St, Aylsham. There appears to be a son, James M, born 1848 at Cawston. Elizabeth died 16 April 1858 and was buried at Swanington.

9.

Born at Itteringham, married Mary born 1818 at Aylsham. George is listed as ‘blacksmith, innkeeper, wheelwright and shopkeeper’. 1851 census shows them living at Eastgate, Aylsham. It appears that they then moved to Cawston where a daughter Emily was born in 1854 and died in 1855. George himself died on 31 December 1861 and was buried at Cawston. See later. There is a possibility that Mary re-married to a Henry Nichols at Cawston in 1864.

This is a photograph of my great-great-great-grandmother Eleanor Slipper born 1847 in Itteringham, daughter of Edward Slipper, wheelwright. These two are mentioned at item #9 on the above piece. I believe it was taken in Calthorpe where she lived after marrying George Herbert Gaff from Reepham (they both emigrated to New York around 1872 with their children, but George and their eldest son died over there, and Eleanor had returned by 1881 with their remaining children and later remarried).
