Research Notes

• birth year is an estimate based on being 21 years of age when the son was born in 1889, however...
• While William John Norris's death record indicates his parents were William John Norris & Annie James, there was no couple who married around that time & no census records of child named William John born in Devon between 1880-1893
• There was one family in Wales, but the child was born in 1885 and the mother's name was Bennett.
• It seems possible the surname was incorrect or his age was vastly misreported
