Henry James Norris (grandfather)
« on: Thursday 08 March 18 14:54 GMT (UK) »
I'm currently trying to find any information reagarding the above Henry James Norris who married Elener Jane Fredericks 12/09/1926

I think I found him on the 1891 Census  but cannot find him any where else.  He might have died around 1943 but cannot confirm this at the moment

His father is also called  Henry Norris from my parents marriage certificate 1946 he was deceased by then though

Thanks in advance

The father on the 1946 marriage cert is the father of the groom ie  if the marriage cert is for your parents then the Henry James Norris given as father is your grandfather.

And he is the one presumably who married Eleanor Fredericks.  So , to find his father, you need to look at his marriage cert, not that of his daughter.

Ah! I see you have added it.  You will need to remove it, as full copies like that are not allowed for copyright reasons.  Just type up the info from them.

There are certainly plenty of Henry James Norris es around.

If yours was "of full age" in 1926, then he was at least 21, so should be on 1911 census but not necessarily any before.
Really need a death to get a birth year - but will take a bit of sorting to get the right death!

Yes, these are her sons ,along with,

Elsie, Frederick, Albert, John, Leslie, George, Gladys Fredericks and

Edna, Connie and Pat Norris

Apparently he left the family and my mother doesn't want to discuuss it at all. 

I think he was 1 in 1891 if that the correct family and in the GRO I found a Henry James Norris died in 1943 in Stepney .  Bit of a dead end at the moment until I find out what his mothers maiden name was.  I knew most of the above except Frederick and John

THanks

So (to get a handle on his likely age) his wife was born Elener Jane Goss (Dec qtr 1892 Greenwich) & married Frederick C Fredericks in St Geo East in 1912.

She was widowed when Frederick C Fredericks died aged 40 in Whitechapel, Dec qtr 1925.
