Hello Don, Found in Free BMD:- Deaths Norster from 1838... Essex Abraham Norster Tendring 1st qtr 1860 4A 156 age at death not given that early - but this could well be your man, Tendring being the Reg. District for Dovercourt. Also Elizabeth Norster Tendring 4th qtr 1876 aged 88 4A 178 and Henry Norster West Ham 2nd qtr 1904 aged 53 4A 37 who may, or may not be, one of yours. Elizabeth would appear to be possibly the mother of Abraham b 1825 - she would have been born in 1796 so about 28 when she was married in 1825 - but they do not appear together on a census. I found the same information on Find Your Past - but I could not find a marriage for Abraham b 1825 anywhere. In 1841 Census the family is down as Norter and in Dovercourt In the 1851 census Abraham Norster 66, b.

London In the 1861 Census , Elizabeth Norster Head, Wid. 68 Post U School Mistress b. Middlesex London is at the Green Cottages Turnpike Rd, Dovercourt Happy hunting, Carole Woolley
