Hoping to connect with others researching Norris surname in Hertfordshire and surrounding counties. My brick wall: my gg grandfather Alfred Norris b. c. 1829 Hertfordshire (according to Edgar, Illinois census of 1860). He was living with (his parents or aunt and uncle ?) Joseph & Mary Norris. His brother or cousin James Norris's daughter Eliza was b. 1845 Richland, Ohio so the family was in the U.S. by then. I would appreciate any help, hints or suggestions in finding out more about this family when they were in England and upon entering the U.S. (ie: ship/passenger lists etc.) Thank you, Kendra --------------------------------- No Cost - Get a month of Blockbuster Total Access now.

Norris was a common name in Hertfordshire, and several distinct families can be traced. There are 26 pages of them in HRT in 1992 IGI. There are only 4 Alfreds, none of which fit your data. It was also a widespread name throughout England, also in Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Try www.familysearch.com, and in particularly try Herefordshire, often confused with Herts.
