what happened to William b. circa 1839

John m. Sarah mother of Louisa she died (i think) becuase by 1861 hes married to Hannah (Martin) i'm sure you probably already have this.


the 1871 census makes interesting viewing

 Been following William on census but dont look like he remarried as i can only find him

 with his children

 Am i right here Toni....... Sarah died and John remarried a Hannah Martin

 If so no i didn't have that

[jamajo]

 Blimey...... 1871 Toni

     Is that all children of John and Hannah do you think and why are they called Martin

[toni*]

Johns wife Sarah died and he remarried Hannah Martin, i dont think Martin was her maiden  name i think she was married to a Mr Martin as she has a son with the Martin surname have a look at the 1861 census ref i gave for Louisa and then the 1871

of course Hannah may have had her son out of wedlock in which case she was nee Martin

ramble ramble ramble

I'm such a idiot sometimes i was looking for Louisa Martin when in fact her husband was Martin MAIDMENT - i got confused becuase f Hannah Martin .

so Louisa in
1881 RG11;  2378;  47;  16;

no idea why they are called Martin instead of Norris after all Hannah and John were married 

[toni*]

Hannah was 20 years Johns junior b. Hinton (circa 1821)
will try to find her on 1851 with hopefully Williams father although she may not have been married to him by then

 Toni... On 1871 on FindMyPast all children are down as Norris
