Wiltshire Lookup Requests / Re: Swindon, Wiltshire - Henry Edward Norris
« on: Friday 15 February 13 16:43 GMT (UK)  »
Thanks to all replies.
I have attached the marriage cert.
Whoops - no I havent as their is a mention for attachments but nothings to follow to add one.
The info from the 1881 census that Claire.t has posted is correct though.
Maybe you have given me a lead in the MaureeninNY and Claire.t responses.    Henry Edward is shown on one census as Edward Norris and a line in "engine smith" may tie in with later becoming a steam hammer engine driver.    And he may be following in dad Charles footsteps as shown.
Its looking hopeful so I will try to follow up on this lot.

Many thanks again.

Wiltshire Lookup Requests / Swindon, Wiltshire - Henry Edward NORRIS
« on: Friday 15 February 13 13:51 GMT (UK)  »
I have Henry Edward Norris',  my great grandfather,  marriage certificate from 1879 showing his birth in 1856 in Swindon, Wiltshire.   However I can find no trace of any birth records or mention in Wiltshire Census records. 
He did move to the London area at some time later,   as he married in Strand, Middlesex.
I have even wondered if he may have been adopted,   but information in this respect is even more limited.
His father was Charles Norris apparently  and seems to get confusing,  rightly or wrongly with a Charles Cornelius Norris.   Some one who once again has very little confirmations to be found.
This is extremely frustrating as I can go no further with my tree until this is resolved.
Any help that may be available would be sincerely appreciated if anybody has Norris tree information.

I have wondered if at that time it could have been possible for him to have been born in Swindon,  but adopted as a baby and registered in Clerkenwell London,  where there is an H E Norris listed for that year ?

Buckinghamshire / Re: SCUTCHINGS family possibly from Buckinghamshire
« on: Thursday 14 February 13 18:43 GMT (UK)  »
Hi All,
If anyone has Family Tree Maker on their computer,  look up my tree - "Norris & Kent Family Tree".

I have several 'Scutchings' entries which originate in my case from my mother in law, whose Step Father was John Scutchings from Stone, Nr Aylesbury, Bucks.   I have been unable to get any leads previously on his history so was happy to see this line of chat.   My mother in law told me she believed there was a German heritage somewhere.

If you cannot see my tree I will try to send details to you.

Good luck.
