    • Ellen Norris and the witnesses William Norris and Sarah Ann Norris made their mark - ie could not write, but Noah signed. Interesting that the witnesses were both Norris - no relative of Noah.
    • They were both 'of full age' and not previously married. He was a coachman and lived in Lamb Lane, father Stephen who was a labourer. She lived in All Saints Lane, father William who was a hostler (ostler maybe?). They were married in the parish church of All Saints in Canterbury.

  • Notes 
    • I have assumed the 1901 census household indicated is correct because:
      -Birth place and date are approximately correct - she may not have known she was born in Marylebone and guessed at Bethnal Green like her sister.
      -Sarah is given as married but same name as parents
      -George would be a VERY late child for Sarah's mother.
      -I remember some family talk of a Kent connection.
      -At her later marriage to Thomas Muse Sarah gives her father's name as Noah (though she crossed out Hughes and put Norris.
    • Her son (James) George was my Grandfather. His father was said to be a deceased theatrical artiste on Grandpa's marriage certificate. Grandpa was vehemently against him according to Dad.
      Grandpa's mother later married Thomas Muse who had a house in Suffolk. An A Muse was a witness at Grandpa's marriage, along with Grandma's parents. Almost all the Muse's in the 1901 census are in the north of England.
      Dad remembers a Fox, known as 'uncle' who had a lot of property in Stoke Newington. He used to ride around on his bicycle repairing and taking rents. Grandpa joked that he would inherit the property since he was the only living relative.
