William Norgate,11th light dragoon guards

[lininberks]

The names Norcot and Norgate were interchangeable, so I agree that Catherine Murren married William Norgate, but that it was probably not the one born in Ropley, but the one born in Hinton Ampner.

According to Betyty's post on 5 oct 2010, army records have his place of birth as Hinton Ampner anyway, and not Ropley.



There were actually 7 William Norgates (of various spellings!) born in the area between 1782 and 1798.

although i have the norgate name within my tree they are there because they link in to another name and as yet have not linked them together due to time. having said that a dennis born around 1783 (parents unknown at this time as he is not on the cd) in the ropley area was the husband of my 2nd cousin 5 x removed hannah white.

Hi,
 Dennis Norgate married to Hannah White is also on my tree, My theory (as yet unconfirmed, I need to check the registers next time I an in the Record Office) is that Dennis was actually mistranscribed from the PR's as James.  On these CD's there is a James Norgate b 1782 son of John Norgate and Susanna Lovelock who is never seen again after his baptism.  I can see how a badly scrawled Dennis could be misread as James, especially as Dennis was not a common name in those times.

As I say, still only an assumption!

IF i get a chance to go to hants before the parish regs go up on line (depends on my health) i will have a look and see what i think. i have come across just such a mistake with one of my other persons in the tree.

I suggest you remove that image from the HGS CD as you are breaching Copyright by showing it.
