Norris look up please

[jamajo]

Just looked on ancestry free pages and found Michael Henry b abt 1889 and died 1890 of Wells. I dont subscribe to that website so i cant get onto the marriage you found. Looking back to the 1891 census you sent do you think the Eliza Norris on there could be this one. It says a cousin of Wallace. Its very confusing but im going to keep looking to see what i can find out,and thanks.

You don't need to subscribe to ancestry to view the index of Michael's death - it's free. I sent you the link to that very image in my previous post for you to see that his age was not, according to me, 1 but in fact twenty-something 

The marriage is from FreeBMD
http://freebmd.rootsweb.com/
(also free to search at ancestry) 

It doesn't say on the 1891 census that Eliza is Wallace's cousin. They are both down as cousins to the head of family. I don't doubt they are husband and wife.

                                       Kind regards

Dear Sue

My husband’s Grandmother was Mary Whitcombe and she was born in Meare. There are dozens of Whitcombe, Witcombe and various spellings through out the villages and as I live close to the records office in Taunton they were a challenge for me!

6     Joseph Witcombe was baptised at Shapwick 13 Feb 1829. He married Jane Hucker in the Bridgwater Reg Dist between April and July 1855. I would imagine that they married in Shapwick as this was where they both came from. Jane's parents were Henry Hucker a farm labourer born abt 1806 and Maria born abt 1810  (from the 1851 census) both at Othery.

Joseph, Jane and family were living at St Anns Logde Burnham on Sea in 1861, Joseph was a labourer/gardner. By 1871 they were back at Shapwick. They had the following children…

Mary Ann Witcombe baptised at Shapwick 4 May 1856

George Witcombe baptised at Shapwich 23 May 1858, although the census do give his place of birth as Burnham

Charlotte aged 1 month at the time of the 1861 census, born at Burnham

Albert b 1863 at Shapwick, his death was registered in the Bristol Reg Dist 1902

Eliza b 1866 Shapwick

William b 1867 Shapwick

Anna Maria born June Q 1870 died March Q 1874

Elizabeth b 1873 Shapwick

 Joseph Witcombe was buried at Shapwick 27 Feb 1892.

5     Joseph was the son of James Witcombe born in Shapwick abt 1801 and died in 1879. He married Charlotte Davis at Shapwich 15 April 1828. She died in 1848

Children…all born at Shapwick
Elizabeth 1834
William b 1836
Sophie bp 31 July 1841
Maria bp 22 Jan 1843
James bp 19 April 1846   

4   James was the son of James Witcombe and Mary Young

 Groom James Witcomb status – of otp, – Bride Mary Young status – of otp, – married on 23 Oct 1786 at parish Shapwick by banns

3   James Witcombe was the son of James Witcombe born abt 1764 and Mary Dowden

2   James was the son of John Witcombe b 1741 and died 1769, his wife was Betty unknown

1             John was the son of John Witcombe who died at Compton Dundon in 1765
 
Most of the earlier records were researched by Steve Whitcombe who my husband was at school with. The baptism dates come from the parish records. The family came from Compton Dundon as far as we have gone back. Many of them are on my family tree on Ancestry.com. Hope this makes sense!

There is a group for the Witcombe family at

Edington baptisms.

This has a bapt 1811 for John Norris Lawrence... 

Now ... a John Norris and a John Lawrence
are both on the same page as Hannah Martin.

Freebmd 1859 Mar q Bridgewater 5c 654

Hannah is the name of 2nd wife for John Norris.

There is also a John Norris bapt 1813.

Could this be one John person ?? or 2 John's. I can't see a match for Lawrence on 1861?
