I am desperate to find the origins of these Norton sisters: Margaret born 1820, Bridget born 1823 Belfast. They both were married and living in Apalachicola, FL after 1845. Margaret married William Archer, Bridget married Henry C. Swain. Anything at all would be a huge break for me.

This is not part of my family but I hope this helps you. Here is the 1850 FL Franklin Co Div 6 census where sisters are living next door to each other: house #130 William A. Archer 37 m laborer Eng Margaret Archer 30 Ire Rebecca Archer 3 FL Mary Ann Archer 2 FL house #131 Henry C. Swain 33 m sailer PA Bridget Swain 29 Ire Margaret Swain 7 FL Henrietta/Henriella Swain 4 FL Rebecca Swain 2 FL In the 1880 FL Franklin Co Apalachicola tsp p.131C (found on the free 1880 census from familysearch.com) Bridget Swain self widow female w 49 IRE keeping house IRE IRE Henry Swian son married male w 25 FL sailor IRE IRE Catherine Swain dau married female w 24 FL without occupation IRE IRE Then it is my uneducated guess that the following is your Margaret widowed from a second marriage with grandchildren and husband from her 3 daughters. This was the only Margaret that fit: 1880 FL Franklin Co Apalachicola tsp p. 132B census Margaret Reynolds self widow female w 60 IRE keeping house IRE IRE Richard Reynolds gson single male w 12 FL at home FL FL Mary Robinson other widow female w 58 IRE keeping house IRE IRE George Hindle gson single male w 7 FL at school FL AL John Kennedy other single male w 51 IRE domestic servant IRE IRE Fred A. Meyer SonL widower male w 30 Bavaria Bar Room Bavaria Bavaria Was there also a Wm A. Archer son born after 1850? I hope this helps. Let me know about Margaret info?
