Norton Family

[timmies]

Looking for more information about James Norton born 1790 married Rebecca Parke born 1796 they had a son william Norton born about 1819 of Scottish descent moved to Canada at some point. I'm looking for other children from James and Rebecca,  parents of the both of them or any other marriages. I was originally told to look in England but another family member found this information in Scotland do to William's marriage certificate states him being of Scottish descent not English.
Thank you Timmies

Hi Timmies

If you are looking at the Norfolk family then I have done some research on them and the Norton family.

How did you trace back to James and Rebecca?

Hi Timmies

In order to help you further I think we need to know how you came to be researching William Norton b about 1819 so that we have a firm basis for the research and don't go chasing the wrong family. 

Is William your direct ancestor?  What concrete information do you have for him eg a marriage or death certificate, census information?

Let me know and I will dig out what I have.

Barbara

PS Wiiliam Fielding, James Norton's brother in law emigrated to Canada  in 1848.

Hello Barbara I had started with my mother Georgina and her parents were George Charles Norton and Elsie Phillips, Charles born Dec 21 1919 passed in Salmon Arm BC his parents are Harold E G Norton born 1889 -1970 Ethel Bessie Tripp born 1892 - 1960 my mom told me about her grandparents then Harold's parents are William Arnott Norton born 1853 -1932 Lousia McLean the William's parents are William Norton born about 1819 and Marth Arnott born 1825, Then my mom's cousin gave me William born about 1819 his parents James born 1790 and Rebecca Parke born 1796 and said they had 7 children then James remarried and had 2 children from second marriage. Now I cant get a hold of my mom's cousin. So now I figure I would reach out here for some help and William that married Martha states on his marriage record I found that he is of Scottish descent.
Thank you again Barbara
