I have a question. An ancestor of mine, Henry Burgum, lived at Old Buckenham, Norfolk with his wife Sarah Jane Burgum. Henry worked as a school master at Old Buckenham and died there 12th March 1879. Can anyone suggest which school he may have worked at? Old Buchenham Hall, for example, seems to have become a school at a later date than this. Are there any history buffs there who could seek out any information about Henry and what brought him from Yorkshire, to teach in Old Buckenham? I live in Andorra, so local research is tricky!
