NOTES

Who Was the Mother of Thomas Norris (d:genealogy\export\Ann-Mary.doc), 25 May 1999, Herbert S. Norris, 236 N.W. Wildwood Lane, Bremerton, Wa. 98311-9125, E-Mail: herbsn@tscnet.

"Who was the lady who married Jeffery Noreys a.k.a. Geoffrey Norris and is the mother of Thomas Norris the English immigrant from Congham, Norfolk, England?
With one exception all of the sources that I have read referring to the parents of Thomas Norris the immigrant, report that his father was Geoffrey Norris or Jefffery Norris and that his mother was Anne! Davis identified a Geoffrey Norris as Thomas' father but only list Geoffrey's spouse as ___.
The same reference lists John Norris and ___ Might of Bunthrope as Thomas grandparents. Josserand does not attempt to identify the parents of Thomas the immigrant.
The Vistitaion of Norfolk lists Jeffery Norris m. Anne ___. LDS records Batch A184641 identifies a Mary Myles as the spouse of Jeffery Noreys/Geoffrey Norris and the mother of the immigrant Thomas Norris!
By stating:

1) Mary Myles IGI/British Isles Gender F. birth 2 Jun. 1588 Guinston, Norfolk, England.
2) Mary Myles IGI/British Isles Gender F marriage 2 Jun 1588 Grimston, Norfolk, England. Note the birth and marriage dates are the same! This researcher has yet to find a community identical as "Guniston" in Norfolk, but the community of Grimston, Norfolk is a logical marriage place, as it is about 2 miles south of Congham, Norfolk, England, the resident home of the Norris family.

Summary: Could Anne ___ and Mary Myles be the same person? i.e. Ann Mary Myles or Mary Ann Myles! I have spent the last three or four years trying to prove the Mary Myles marriage and have been unsuccessful! I believe that there is enough evidence presented in references to allow me to list the mother of Thomas Norris (the immigrant) as Anne (___) Norris/Noreys.
I am unable to consider Mary Myles as the spouse of Jeffery Noreys/Geoffrey Norris and/or the mother of my emigrant ancestor Thomas Norris, due to the lack of proof (or reasonable) documentation.
