The Mattocks family were farmers at The Laurels Farm in Ludham. The family originates in Cumbria and moved to Ludham in the late 19th Century.
Here is a family tree:
It was William Mattocks and his wife Sarah Jane (Southward) who made the move from Cumbria to Norfolk. Interestingly, Sarah Jane is descended from John Peel the foxhunter who has been immortalised in the song "D'Ye Ken John Peel".
