Notes

Birth of Thirza Adams in FreeBMD in January-March 1883 in Wayland (4b 285) which included Stow Bedon.

In the 1891 census as Thirza Adams aged 8, born in Stow Bedon, and living with her grandparents Francis (sic - in the index, Thomas on the original), Emily and Emily M in Church Road, Stow Bedon, Norfolk.

It is not clear who her parents were, but I guess her mother was Emily Maria. I cannot find any other information.

Entry in Behind the Name states Tirzah means "favourable" in Hebrew. Tirzah is the name of one of the daughters of Zelophehad in the Old Testament. It also occurs in the Old Testament as a place name, the early residence of the kings of the northern kingdom. Thirza is the Dutch spelling.

Stow Bedon is 10 miles north of Thetford on A1075.
