If you buy the cert. it will give you parents names which will make it easier to find the correct marriage!

Sorry Mike, didn't want that to sound as though the marriage you have posted isn't correct.

This may be the couple from the marriage in 1901 census:-

1901 England Census about Alfred F Norris (on original middle name could begin with T and not F)

Name: Alfred F Norris
Age: 34
Estimated Birth Year: abt 1867
Relation to Head: Head
Gender: Male
Spouse: Ann Norris
Birth Place: Leeds, Kent, England
Civil Parish: Ulcombe
County/Island: Kent
Country: England
Street Address:

Occupation: Gardiner

Neighbors: View others on page
Household Members:
Name Age
Alfred F Norris 34
Ann Norris 32 - Birth Place: Crpingtes, Kent, England

..............................

Ann looks to have died:-

Deaths Dec 1903 (>99%)
Norris Ann 36 Hollingbourn 2a 480
........................................

and Alfred remarried:-

England & Wales, FreeBMD Marriage Index, 1837-1915 about Alfred Thomas Norris
Name: Alfred Thomas Norris
Date of Registration: Apr-May-Jun 1905
Registration District: Hollingbourn
Inferred County: Kent
Volume Number: 2a
Page Number: 1693
Records on Page:

Alfred Thomas Norris
Emily Seban
.............................................

Here they are in 1911:-

NORRIS, Alfred Thomas Head Married5 years M 44 1867 Gardener Domestic Kent Leeds VIEW
NORRIS, Emily Wife Married F 44 1867 Middlesex Wood Green VIEW
NORRIS, George Edward Son M 9 1902 School Kent Ulcombe VIEW
NORRIS, Alfred Thomas Son M 8 1903 School Kent Ulcombe VIEW

RG number: RG14 Piece: 4172 Reference: RG14PN4172 RG78PN163 RD52 SD2 ED2 SN106 Registration District: Hollingbourne Sub District: Lenham Enumeration District: 2 Parish: Harrietsham Address: Holme Mill Harrietsham Near Maidstone County: Kent


Looks like we can rule this one out too as any children born after 1911 would have maiden name ( Seban ) .

I'm afraid you're going to have to invest in the birth certificate.

Or maybe one of these marriage certs. (Do you know if she married?):

Marriages Dec 1961 (>99%)
NORRIS Rosa D H SMYTHE Bristol 7b 228

Marriages Mar 1935 (>99%)
Norris Rosa D H Whalley Watford 3a 1515

EDIT: silly idea - you still wouldn't know which, if either, was correct, except perhaps by her age
