Four entries in FreeReg for the baptism of James Goodbody on 18 in three and 15 in one February 1732/33 at Weasenham All Saints, parents Robert and Alice Goodbody.
Entry in Ancestry Norfolk, England, Church of England Baptism, Marriages, and Burials, 1535-1812 for James Goodbody baptised 18 February 1732 at Weasenham, All Saints and St Peter, parents Robt and Alice Goodbody. "1732 [...] Feb 18th James son of Robt and Alice Goodbody (rest illegible)." The year ended on March 25 so it is 1733 using the Gregorian Calender.
His five brothers and sisters were born in Weasenham in 1735 to 1745.
There are entries in the IGI for the christening of James, parents James and Anmary in 1756 and John, parents James and Rosemary in 1758 in Anmer (with images) and in Brundall (I assume the latter is an error - it is to the east of Norwich). I assume it is the same John and his first wife died after the birth. I cannot find any entries for the marriages.
