Notes:

Married:
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.

Other Events:

• Occupation: Horsekeeper

William married Eliza Pope. Eliza was born about 1806 in Canterbury, Kent, England; died on 14 Mar 1868 in All Saints Lane, Canterbury, Kent, England.. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Other Events:

• Occupation: Chairwoman

Notes:

In 1841 William and Eliza Norris, had two children, William and Ellen. In 1851 census Eliza was head of family, neither father William nor son William were there. Her surname was Norris and she had children called Norris and a daughter and grandchildren called Pope. In the 1861 census father William was back, and the Popes are shown as daughter- and sons-in-law. But son William is still missing.
I have assumed that Elizabeth Pope was a natural daughter of Eliza's before her marriage. I have also assumed that Elizabeth's son William (6 in 1851) is the same as son Henry (17 in 1861).


Occupation:
The occupations in 1851 definitely read 'chairwoman', but possibly they actually meant charwoman.
