Well...thank-you editor as I'm finally in the right topic section.
We spent several decades trying to find where George Norris,grocer, Chelsea was born...he was listed under Morris in the 1851 census for St. James, Westminster. His place of birth was listed as Watford 1790 or perhaps, Bushey,1794. A 1784 George had died. He had an older brother, Charles, a tailor in south London...and a sister Sarah.
The IGI listing had her parents as Jo. Norris and the others as John--so the orginal record might better indicate if this is John or perhaps, Joseph.
George's son, William George Norris and his wife, Mary Tompson of Hemel Hempsted emmigrated to the Toronto area and then migrated to Bowmanville, Ontario and on to Victoria, BC.
Now a little more work might prove that our Sarah and your Sarah are one and the same.
Cheers...Don
