Larkes in Norfolk and an odd family story
I have only just got around to my Larke family so I am new around here. My grandfather William Larke ended up in Essex but was born in June 1901 in Holt, Norfolk.His father was Walter George Larkeborn Tunstead district in 1868, christened 1868 in Swafield, and married Frances Eleanor Earl born 1867/1868 in Erpingham district, marriage took place Erpingham district 1890.
Walter George's father was Joseph Larke born somewhere around Great Yarmouth in 1841, married Deborah Slapp and eventually died in 1940.
Joseph's father was Robert Larke born 1818, and his father was Walter John Larke 1778 - 1858. Walter John Larke's father was Edward Cecil Larke born 1741. I believe they were all from parts of Norfolk.
The odd family story was uncovered by another family member a few years ago before I became interested in family history. Sadly the lady concerned was killed in a road accident, so I can't ask her where she got it from. At some point a member of the de Vere family, possibly as in Earls of Oxford, had a disagreement with his father about his choice of bride and was either disowned or broke away from the family and adopted the name of Larke.
I would be interested if anyone has any connection to the above names or has ever heard of the de Vere connection.
Many thanks
Ruth
