Baptism l/up for Ester Norris abt 1770 Berks
« on: Saturday 21 March 15 23:35 GMT (UK) »
Hi all,

I have an Ester Norris who married Richard Woodley in Harwell in 1792.

I am having a problem in  finding her bapt. The only one I have come across is for a
Hesther Edmonds or Norris 16-12-1770 in Coleshill, Berks on the IGI.

Its a possible as the yob. fits with her burial in Harwell in 1819 (aged 49) but Coleshill is a parish some distance away.

Nothing comes up in the Harwell transcripts or FindMyPast or FreeReg.

Is anyone able to help please?

Hi,
Esther Norris born 15th Jan 1770
Baptised 26th March 1770
At Saint Mary's Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire
Father John
Mother Elizabeth

There are quite a few born in Lancashire this is the only one in the area you say.
I hope this is a help.

Hi Maggsie,

Thank you for finding that entry. Unfortunately, it would appear that Esther Norris d/o John
is buried Feb 1771 in Aylesbury so I think it rules her out.

The only other one I have found is an  Esther Norris in Wilts 1774 but I feel that is too far away to be considered.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

As you know the 1792 Marriage is on FreeREG
Others +/- 10yrs are;

George NORRIS/Lydia FARMER 1792 Boxford
William LAMBOURNE/Rachel NORRIS 1800 Harwell

1851 Census Rachael Lambourn is born c 1776 Blewbury, Berkshire
Possible for George Norris in Kent in 1851 born c 1777 Newbury, Berkshire

Just posting in case they are possible Siblings :)

Thanks trish,

I actually found their marriage on the IGI first and then confirmed it in the Harwell transcripts.

There are not many "Norris's" listed in Harwell so I would suggest they came from afar, but where?

Rachel's baptism was in 1781 (recorded as Rechel d/o Thomas & Sarah) which gave me hope but alas,  Hester/Esther is not recorded. So she was either not baptised or came from another parish
