Arborfield, Berks: Looking for Info on Richard Norris

[jbnorris73]

I'm looking for information on Richard Norris possibly born 22 Apr 1670 Thatcham, Berks d. 21 Sept 1716 St Bartholomew's, Arborfield, father of Samuel Norris b. 2 Mar 1701 in Arborfield, Berks. Samuel was married to Mary Wyatt on 13 Dec 1727 in Finchampstead. I do not have a birthplace or wife's name as the only records I can find only list Richard as Samuel's father. Samuel(Samuell) Norris may have had a sister, but all the records list is an L... Norris, so I'm thinking she was maybe a Lucy.

I do not have a birthplace or wife's name as the only records I can find only list Richard as Samuel's father.

I found the information on Ancestry.com for the Christening of Samuel Norris. I have looked on other member's trees and found a few that listed Richard with the same record but then some had his father as John Norris even though the record clearly says his Father's name is Richard. The trees that list John say he was born in Thatcham. The trees that list Richard do not have a birth year or town.

I'm still looking for Richard's wife's name. Ancestry.com trees are not reliable as 3 possibilities are given on 3 different trees. He was born in Thatcham on 22 Apr 1670 and died in St Bartholomew, Arborfield 21 Sept 1716 according to trees on Ancestry he was married to Sarah Pocock b. 1677 in Chievely. I am just wanting to see if someone can find a record as I have checked other sites and no information is available and I do not know if that information is correct without any corroborating marriage or birth records.

Hi jbnorris73,

Richard Norris married Sarah Pococke, of Newbury  17-5-1692 in Shaw cum Donnington, St.Mary, Berks. Taken from the Berks FHS marriages CD.
Hope this helps.

Thank You, thank you, thank you so much. I ordered the Berkshire County Records Cds for Births, Marriages and Burials from The Berkshire Family History Society last week but I live in the US and haven't recieved them yet. This is fantastic!!! I have 11 generations from Richard&Sarah Norris in 1600s to my father in law.
