Hi Ann,

If you put George Norris born 1791 Greenwich into the search box at the top, there's someone called Michael Wheeler with him in his tree.

Could this be George's death?

Deaths Sep 1872
NORRIS George Pitcher 81 Greenwich 1d 487

Wonder where Pitcher came from? I assume it's a family name from somewhere.

I think this is Eliza's christening as James is a gardener, which is a match on occupations. Seems then as though he has a middle name.
