      Description: William Panks bap. 18 Jun 1809 St Botolph's Church, Grimston, Norfolk Died 1876 Roydon, King' Lynn, Norfolk Married Sarah Elflett (c1829-1892), on the 14 Oct 1848 at St Botolph's Church, was my 2 X Great Grandfather. I have a great deal of info on the Panks family. William's daughter, Alice Panks (1857-1904) was my Great Grandmother. I have your connection through Prudence Elizabeth Panks (1869-1901), who married Henry Thewlis (1866-1912), and have traced the lines of their 4 children (who now appear to have no living issue).
