Help to find Norris children in GRO Online Index?
« on: Monday 05 December 16 23:45 GMT (UK) »
Hi all

The following, from FreeBMD, appear to be birth registrations for the post-1837 children of James & Jane Norris, who had settled in Hitchin, Herts before 1841.  They are all with the widowed Jane (b abt 1799 Wilton, Wilts) in Hitchin in 1851, and other census info is easily found.

Thomas Norris, Sep qtr 1839 Hitchin 6 516
Miriam Norris, Mar qtr 1842 Hitchin 6 559
William Norris, Sep qtr 1844 Hitchin 6 509

However, I am failing to get any results searching for these registrations on the GRO Online site, for Jane's maiden name.  Can anyone do better?

Hi

They seem to be recorded as Morris on the Gro  Index. Mother's maiden name is Burroughs or, in the case of William, Burrough.

Ah - thank you, William.  Did that come up as a variant, or was it an inspired guess on your part?

In any event it is very helpful, pointing to a marriage of James Norris & Jane Burrough in Botley, Hants in 1818.

I could not find them under Norris and guessed correctly that they might be recorded as Morris!

Imagine my delight when I found that two of my grandmother's male ancestors married a MORRIS and a NORRIS ...................... ::) :D
