Stephen Norton Head M 70 Bethersden, Kent

Elizabeth Norton Wife F 46 Bethersden, Kent

Jane Norton Daughter F 14 Willesborough, Kent

Henry Norton Son M 4 Ashford, Kent

Daniel Baker Lodger M 24 Bethersden, Kent

Harriet Baker Wife F 18 Willesborough, Kent

Thomas Baker Son M 0 Ashford, Kent

This is the only marriage for close to the time frame stated of Norton to Ward, others occurred much later, in England or the USA.

Based on this, And the age stated, Elizabeth would only have been 11. In all seriousness I do not think the Elizabeth of the marriage record and census is the daughter of the Thomas and Sarah Ward, who did come to America with their chlldren and died in Alabama.

There is a tree at familysearch that has an Elizabeth Ward, with several children one being Harriet near the same age as the Harriet listed here, but who married a Baker and stayed in England. https://familysearch.org/tree/person/LH6B-7ZH/details This profile has Elizabeth born in 1804, which is a lot more probable then an 11 year old.

Another tree at ancestry has her married to both Stephen Norton and Alexander P. Morton and having children simultanously with both. While another has the vital dates of 1811 - 1889 while having a child in Missouri, which tracks this child to Texas in 1880, and the parents were born in Illinois.

I am removing the parents Thomas William Ward and Sarah Jane Love of the Elizabeth based on these findings. Leaving Elizabeth, because Stephen did marry an Elizabeth, just not the daughter of Thomas and Sarah.

There is no evidence that the Elizabeth who m. Stephen came to America.
