Cumberland Lookup Requests / Re: William Norris

Yes the marriage certificate gives his father as William Norris, Shoemaker and mother Mary Conway.  Elizabeth Sarah Pearson's parents are William Pearson, Farmer and mother Sarah Box.

My maternal grandmother was his granddaughter.  I don't believe he was a Norris when he left England he just changed his name.

Hi, I have researching the Norris family for some time now.  Requested information from a family history group in Whitehaven some years ago.  They come up with nothing on William James Norris born 1835.  Nor could they come up with any information on  a William Norris who was a shoemaker, or his wife Mary Conway.

My mum did tell me that William James changed his name from Robert to William.  Not sure if that is any help or not.
