Here's a possible marriage record for John Joshua Norris:

Marriages Sep 1851 (>99%)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clarke Mary Ann Bethnal Gr 2 43
Craddock Mary Ann Bethnal Gn 2 43
Edney Emma Bethnal Gn 2 43
Lane John Bethnal Green 2 43
Norris John Joshua Bethnal Gn 2 43
Paffey George Bethnal Gn 2 43
Redfern Sarah Bethnal Gn 2 43
Tibbutt George Bethnal Gn 2 43

It would be either Mary Ann Clarke or Mary Ann Craddock. My recommendation would be to obtain a copy of the above marriage certificate. It should state the name John's father.
