Yes Sarah , Very even our lake is frozen people are out there skating, its only the 3rd time in 20 years. Ann

I see you still have a terrible echo up there Ann! Is it cold? Sarah :-)

I have no answer to that one, also why is Emma listed as wife/son? maybe someone screwed up somewhere!!!!!!! It has been known, census are not always accurate are they! Ann

That is possible, but why would James be listed as George's son on the census? Liz

I can't see where George and Hariett fit into this puzzle unless he was a brother of Henry Paget Norris ???? Ann

Maybe James and Emma were away on honeymoon in 1861? It is indeed a puzzle! Liz

George and Harriet in 1851: Emma Norris abt 1843 Chilson, Middlesex, England Daughter Chelsea Middlesex George Norris abt 1802 Chelsea, Middlesex, England Head Chelsea Middlesex George Norris abt 1832 Chilson, Middlesex, England Son Chelsea Middlesex Harriet Norris abt 1803 Selburn, Hampshire, England Wife Chelsea Middlesex Henry Norris abt 1834 Chilson, Middlesex, England Son Chelsea Middlesex

Yes, his father was Henry Paget his mother was Charlotte and brother Henry born 1838. So i know its them on the 1851 census. And by 1871 James and Emma Norris are back in Chelsea with 4 of their children, its the 1861 census that i'm unsure of. Ann

Henry, Charlotte and Henry in 1861: Charlotte Norris abt 1814 Midd, St John West Wife Chelsea Middlesex Henry Norris abt 1811 Midd, Chelsea Head Chelsea Middlesex Henry Norris abt 1837 Midd, Chelsea Son Chelsea Middlesex

If this is him in 1851, his Mum is Charlotte :-( Charlotte Norris abt 1814 Westminster, Middlesex, England Wife Chelsea Middlesex Henry Norris abt 1813 Chelsea, Middlesex, England Head Chelsea Middlesex Henry Norris abt 1838 Chelsea, Middlesex, England Son Chelsea Middlesex James Norris abt 1841 Chelsea, Middlesex, England Son Chelsea Middlesex

So your 2g-grandfather is James Norris? And his father was definitely Henry? Could it have been George Henry or Henry George? Do you know his Mum's name? That may clinch it. Liz

Yes Liz , Thats the one that i found ,but do you think i can assume its them? Ann

1861: Emma Norris abt 1840 Windsor, Berkshire, England Son Wife Fulham Middlesex George Norris abt 1802 Chelsea, Middlesex, England Head Fulham Middlesex Harriet Norris abt 1804 Hampshire, England Wife Fulham Middlesex James Norris abt 1841 Chelsea, Middlesex, England Son Fulham Middlesex Emma Welles abt 1842 Chelsea, Middlesex, England Wife Fulham Middlesex James J Welles abt 1838 Pimlico, Middlesex, England Head Fulham Middlesex On the image, James and Emma Welles are listed first as Head/Wife. Then George and Harriet Norris, also as Head/Wife. Under them are James and Emma Norris as Son and Son's Wife. To me, this imples James Norris is George and Harriets's son. Does this help? Liz

What is his name? Liz Its ok, I've got them now.

My g/g/grandfather born 1841Chelsea married 2/12/1860 to Emma Ewer Windsor. Died 8/2/1877 of Thyphoid. Have found him on 1851 and 1871 census. And have found this on 1861 census,i'm i assuming to much to think this is them? At 5 Grove(r) Road Fulham but he is recorded as son? Emma is recorded as wife/son? Folio 104 page 56 if you want to look. But i know that his father s name was Henry. Ann
