My NORMAN family were ag labs moving around ( with the work presumeably) from Marden, Ocle Pychard, Westhide , Pipe & Lyle during '41 '51 '61'. My GGrandfather Thomas NORMAN b 1850 "bettered" himself and became Butler in Stone House in Shropshire , moving on his marriage to Liverpool to work for the Post Office. His sister Lucy b 1856 was a servant in Widemarsh St in '71
His father was said to have been b. in Whitley Worcs. hsi mother Mary nee Adams b. Marden.
Does anyone have any news of this lot who have been a big brick wall for ages!
In anticipation..please..!!

i take it by your posting that you have the info on 1841,51,61,71. censuses
what sort of info were you after is it the later censuses
what are the names of the other members of the family
what are the birthdates of the other members of the family
what are the birthplaces of the other members of the family
any extra info you can supply would help us trace them

Thank you for your very quick reply..please excuse me if I was not too clear..this is my 1st post to this site...so..
Yes I have the info on the census returns and some birth/marriage certs : what I would like to know is the "further back from" 1841 info. The marr. cert of William NORMAN & Mary ADAMS Nov 26th 1840 at Sutton St Nicholas gives Francis NORMAN as his father, is he the same Francis NORMAN who married Frances HERBERT 1814 in Bromyard? Another contact on the internet gave me some info ( which I would like to confirm or deny) going back to the marriage of "A" Francis NORMAN to Elizabeth FREEN in 1783. I do not know how to search for this so any help would be most appreciated. I did visit Hereford R.O. some years ago but do not think I would be able to visit again , my searching has to be internet based these days! Age has a lot to answer for!!!
There appear to be a number of NORMANs around the area , I would love to adopt them if possible!
I think GGrandfather Thomas had brother , according to 1861 census William NORMAN b. 1861 at Westhide is a groom at Haywood Farm.
Thanks...Luxorcat .

Hi, My great great great Grandfather was James Norman born in Ocle Pichard in 1814 (?), although the 1841 census gives him a date of birth of approx. 1821. The family continued to work as agricultural labourers around Herefordshire through all the following census's. My great Grandfather died in Pixley, Herefordshire of TB leaving 5 young children.
I have found many Normans in Ocle Pichard from the late 16th century to the mid 19th century but have not yet made a link.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi, I cannot say with any certainty that "your" James is one of my lot..who were the parents? Do you know? I have a Joseph b.c. 1828 who is my GG Uncle married 1854 to Jane BUFTON and living in Anthony's Cottage, O.P. in 1881 and in Norman's Cottage O.P. in 1971. Jane BUFTON is related to someone on the Hereford list, Phil BUFTON, but he says he has no further info. More as and when... Luxorcat
