Searching for John Norris and Agnes Norris nee Galhampton
« on: Friday 21 October 22 03:12 BST (UK) »
I am looking for information for my paternal great grandmother Bessie Norris. I have traced the family line back to John Norris 1465-1535. Here is the information that I have.

John Norris born 1465 in Winkleigh, Devon, England
Marriage to Agnes Galhampton born 1470 in Winleigh, Devon, England
Son - William born 1524 in Milverton, Somerset, England
Death - 1535
Buried at St. Decumans, Somerset, England

Any Information would be appreciated.
Respectfully,
SoilsEng

What are your sources for those years? Which records are you basing them on?
Agnes would have been around 54 in 1524 (Wiliam's birth). If you have definite evidence that William was born in 1524 and was child of those parents, it's unlikely that Agnes was born in 1470.
Did William have older siblings?

What was the occupation of John Norris?
Were any of them landholders or holders of public office? Did they leave wills?
