  • 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).
