Please could anyone help. I am looking for the marriage of Thomas Norris born 1773-1881 in Watford to someone called Ann who was born in 1777-1781 in Henley,Oxfordshire. They had 2 children named Sarah and David. I have looked but just cant find anything. I thought they would have been married in Watford as that is where the children were born. Any Suggestions? Thank you Mark
Hello Mark, I've just found your post. I too, am looking for Norris family in Oxfordshire. Henley (Thomas James), Islip(Henry, Andrew) and Headington. A line went over to Hemel Hempstead (William). Others went to London. For some reason Luton appears later down the line
If any thing rings a bell, please let me know. Lesanne.

Hi Mark
The Allen Index which records all Herts marriages to 1837 is now online, but there is no sign of this marriage I'm afraid. This rather suggests that the couple did not marry in the county.
Found this removal order on that site... D/P 117/13/1 Thomas Norris (Place from Watford) to Inkpen April 12 1776.
The Removal index (microfiche not online) also records:
Thomas NORRIS from Watford to Inkpen (Berks) Notes: wife Sarah, children Hannah (11) Millicent (9) Catherine (7) Thomas (5) John (2) Ann (6months)
More biographical details may be present on the removal order itself which can be obtained from HALS via the Hertfordshire Names Online site. Though as your Thomas was married Ann, it may not be relevant. Thanks to RichardK who first spotted and alerted everyone to the site.
