For Donald Massey I have some interest in NORRIS in Watford. My greatx3 grandfather Thomas Norris, a journeyman gardener, was married in Great Stanmore in 1795 to a girl from Tring called Sarah Eversley. At the 1841 census he was said to be 67 (thus born in 1774, and not in the same county). At his death three years later his age was given as 72 (thus born in 1772). I have no other evidence as to his year of birth. Nor do I know where he was born. There are several possibilities, including Watford, and I wonder whether your information throws any light on that. The nearest Watford possibility is the child of Thomas Norris and Sarah ( formerly Bates?), baptised Thomas in 1770. I hope to hear from you.
