Hello Ann, have you any idea who he might have married, and where and when?

Do you know for definite that he did marry?

Have looked on freebmd? Have you found him on any census? Any idea what his wife's name was? Lots of possibles on freebmd. You will need more info to find the right one.

1911 census says married 7 years but I cannot find a marriage aroung 1904. 1911 image also has Market Gardens as his employment, so looks like the same one as in 1891

Hi Potty,
Looking at the info you found on the 1901
census there is a child missing a Thomas Matthew Norris born 1897 who would of been about four years old, the thing is I know he was alive then so why do think he was not with his parents, William and Mary Ann Norris
Kind regards Ann
