Joseph Norris and Katharine Thompson
« on: Tuesday 01 May 18 18:53 BST (UK) »
I am at a brick wall with Joseph Norris b. 30 NOV 1849 London, England died 18 FEB 1927 in Long Beach, Los Angeles County, Ca. I have found 1 immigration record when his family moved to Canada, his youngest son was born in 1885 in York, Ontario, Canada, died in 1886. His youngest daughter was born in 1882 in New York, USA. I cannot find any records in England before the moves. I am specifically looking for birth records or census records. His marriage Bann says that he is a member of the St George the Martyr Parish. He married Katharine Thompson in St George the Martyr Parish Church, Southwark, Surrey, England on 13 April 1874. They lived in the Dover Rd Burrough.That is the only record I can find that lists his father also named Joseph Norris. I have a copy of the marriage Bann but am still looking for the father and the name of the mother. The 1 clue from Ancestry.com says that the father Joseph Norris may have been born in 1825. I have tried other sites but they only go back as far as a Son/Grandson Cecil George Thompson Norris born in 1875 in Islington, London, England. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I have looked up the information given by everyone. I'm not sure that this is the right Joseph Norris jnr or sr. Joseph Norris jnr's mother was born in Scotland. I just found the information within the last 20 minutes. I think her name is also Ann, but the records that show her married to the Joseph Norris (sr) that I was given info on was born in the Channel Islands. I'm not sure it's the right person.
