Alice Norris

Alice was born in 1526 in Gunthorpe, Norfolk, England

Her father was Richard Might, and her mother was Lady Eleanor B. Might (maybe born Gunthorp). I've seen Alice's father named Robert Might in the College of Arms records.

Alice married John Norris about 1548 in Congham, Norfolk County, England.

She died in 1575 in Congham, Norfolk, England at the age of 49 and is buried at Congham, Kings Lynn and West Norfolk Borough, Norfolk, England.

1. Thomas Norris, b. 1549 in Congham, Norfolk County, England.

Congham

England is a country, not a state. In the 1500's Congham was and still is, a village in England. England became part of the United Kingdom in 1707 when Scotland was merged with the Kingdom of England (England and Wales), becoming the Kingdom of Great Britain. Eventually, the United Kingdom included Northern Ireland. The United Kingdom is not comprised of states - as is the United States.
