William Norris & Millicent Lyfield - Look up Please

[tigerbelle]

Hello,

I have the barest of information to go on with this search, as I am not familiar with the area, I dont know what to do.

William Norris was born in Wiltshire and married Millicent Lyfield.

No dates, locations etc.

They did have at least one son: Francis Norris born 1821 in Wiltshire, who later came to Australia.  He married Elizabeth Johnson who was born C1830.

Any suggestions, ideas, answers will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Hi
More details of the marriage at Wooton Bassett.............
William Norris (X), bachelor, of this parish, and Millicent Leighfild (X), spinster, of this parish, banns, 27 Dec 1810.   The witnesses appear to be Thomas Jeffris and George Woodley - the writing was smudged and very bad.   (X) = made mark.

Baptisms of their children give William's occupation as labourer.

Cheers Dave
