Before coming to Australia as a small child with my family I was born in Norwich, Norfolk, England into a long line of Becketts. 

I am currently working on a family history and most of my research has involved researching sources from the counties of Norfolk, Wiltshire and Greater London.  The following are links to some excellent research material related to these particular counties, or to family history research in general.
