Hi would appreciate a lookup on the 1841 census. Am looking for James Norton and wife Elizabeth King. (sorry dont have any birthdates) I have found a marriage on IGI ... James Norton ... Elizabeth King married St. Edmonds Norwich Norfolk 12.10.1806. A son Robert born 12.5.1810. Surlingham Norfolk. Robert(my GGgf) and his wife came to Sth Aust. in 1837 so wont be on census but was wondering if he had any sibblings etc. Thanks Col. (understand if not enough info for a lookup)

Colleen I have done a search on James Norton, living Norfolk, born 10 yrs either side of 1775 & it's come up with seven! Unfortunately, with no more info you're not going to be certain which is the correct one. I had a look at one aged 70 who was in the parish of St Edmund. It looked like he could've been a widow - there was a Maryann Norton aged 35 with him who could've been a daughter (or a much younger wife!) As I say, without more details it'll be difficulat.
