• Notes

  William’s date of birth is recorded as 06 October 1899 in the 1939 Register whereas his entry in the GRO Death Index gives his date of birth as 02 October 1900 (Jul-Sep 1977, Isle of Wight, Volume: 20, Page: 1771). Searching the GRO Birth Index for William James Richard Norris between 1898 and 1902 anywhere in England only gives one result which is for the Oct-Dec quarter of 1902 (Registration District: Isle of Wight, Volume: 2B, Page: 582). This is also the entry for Ada’s cousin (of the same name), who was the son of Sarah Furmidge and Walter Edward Norris.
