just read ur advert regarding Norbury's anywhere in the world. I am surprised to learn that there r so many Norbury's in the world. I grew up in Toronto, Canada. My father was one Arthur Norbury. His father, Jesse, immigrated from Manchester, England in 1910. He landed in Quebec and was headed for Sask. Thank God that he stayed in Toronto. Hope ur reunion went well. Say Hi to all the Norbury's that u know from the Norbury's in Canada. There are not that many of us left here. lol

Re: Manchester NORBURY family

terryslvn — 2009-05-18 19:21:18Z

WOW! That was quick. I believe grandpa's name was Jesse but at this late date I am not really sure. He passed while I was a child. Probably born in the mid-1800's. Imnmigrated to Canada in or around 1911. My father told me that he was only 2 when they came to Canada. Unfortunately, there are no living relatives except myself and my sister (Mary Margaret - or Peggy as we call her) and a few cousins with the late Uncle Jim being the father. Hope that this helps. Regards, Terry Sullivan (nee) Norbury.

blodeuwedd2001 — 2009-05-18 17:31:56Z

What was your grandfather's name? Do you know what year he was born, approximately? The Manchester Norburys I know about were quite a big family.

Re: Manchester NORBURY family

terryslvn — 2009-05-18 16:05:46Z

I am also told that our family here in Canada are direct descendants of the NORBURY family in Manchester, England. My grandfather emmigrated to Toronot, Canada sometime around 1911. My father's name was Arthur Norbury, born in 1909. I also had an uncle James Norbury. Aunt's Gladys, Edie & Evelyn. Would love to hear from any NORBURY's in ur family. If interested, pse reply to terryslvn@rogers.com Thanks.

Re: Manchester NORBURY family

blodeuwedd2001 — 2008-10-29 22:24:57Z

Do you have any idea when he was born and died? The generation I know about is earlier than your grandfather.
He must be at least 20 years older than your father or mother--when were they born?
He didn't have a middle name, did he? I have just got a list of 41 men of that name born in Lancashire. Not an impossible number, but some extra information would help.

If you've been speaking to Kaye (Christian) then we are distantly related to the Norbury's of Swettenham / Lower Withington. I'm still struggling to get back beyond 1639, but we're definately related somewhere along the line.

John Norbury of Kermingham, baptised at Swettenham on April 12th 1874 to Thomas & Ellen. Is he yours? If he is, your line is on the extreme fringes of my tree already.

blodeuwedd2001 — 2008-04-15 09:46:39Z

Cheshire and Lancashire in north-west England seemed to be centers of the Norbury name. if you can find out what town was the birthplace of your ancestor you will get on. Have you found any relatives in the UK census yet?

Re: Manchester NORBURY family

cmnfujiwara — 2008-04-14 00:41:59Z

I am a descendant of the Norbury family. From what my father says, if I'm not mistaken, directly related to the Norbury's in England. I'm trying to research our family further at the moment.

There is a lady in Kansas who emailed me that she has pictures of the Emma Norbury/Harry Bates Grainger family. She wants to return them to family members. Please email me.

Re: Emma Norbury Grainger Il.and Ia.

2006-03-19 21:43:45Z

Hello, Hope this reaches you all these years later. I recently received email from someone who saw my Darrah tree on worldconnect. She had obtained Darrah/Grainger photos from 1890/1900 in an ebay sale. She sent me the Darrah photos but she also apparently has photos from the Emma A Norbury/Harry Bates Grainger family. Harry Bates Grainger is the brother of a Maud Grainger who married Charles Darrah in Heaton Norris UK. She wants to return the photos to a family member. Send me an email, and I'll send you her email.

THOMAS NORBURY OF CHESTER, PA

Philly_Girl — 2006-06-02 14:50:49Z

Looking for information on any possible children of THOMAS NORBURY, born 1718, Chester, Pa. Married ANN CROXTON, April 14, 1744. Parents were JACOB AND ALICE NORBURY. Also, any grandchildren
Thank you

Norbury Family

Philly_Girl — 2007-07-31 05:15:52Z

In dire need of help or ideas please. 2nd Great Grandfather Joseph R. Norbury was confirmed into 4th Reformed Church of Manayunk in 1835 at age of 18. Occupation at this time was shoemaker. I can find no record of him prior to this time except that I do know he was born in 1817 in Philadelphia. I have no idea what church or religion he belonged to prior to 1835. Also, I found a Jacob Norbury on 1820 city directory listed as a shoemaker who may be his father but again no further info on him. What can I do to alliviate this brick wall? I checked church books at the Historical Society and drew a big blank. Any help or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Hi John
I tried to send an email to you but it was returned. Here it is:
Hi John

Just saw your message on rootweb board. I don't know if we've corresponded?

You mention Bradford Norbury born about 1802. What are his siblings names? I have Thomas born about 1812. He has a son called Thomas Bradford Norbury. It would make total sense that he would name his son after his brother in part. What do you think? It would be great if we could connect them as my Thomas has been elusive for many years. As he died at age 34yrs, it is difficult to find any information about his birth. On his marriage certificate he states he was a farmer, but later joined the police force and at his death was the first Police Inspector in Macclesfield.

After researching I found a few possiblities, but no way to connect.

Hope you can help
Kind regards
Denise Norbury

Re: locating Norburys anywhere!L

dnorbury — 2007-10-19 11:36:17Z

My earliest Norbury is Thomas born abt 1812. He was a Police Inspector in Macclesfield, but when he married Elizabeth Ravenscroft at Manchester Cathedral, he was a farmer. I can't find his family (Parents or siblings). Any connections would be great.

Ralph NORBURY, a clerk, married Martha Anne HULBERT in 1844. Their children were William Edward, b 1845; Annie Elizabeth b 1848; John Hulbert b ca 1850; Ralph Albert b ca 1853; George Frederick b ca 1856; Mary Jane b ca 1860, and Charles Henry b ca 1863. Annie married Thomas SUTHERLAND in Cheshire in 1883, but all these people mostly lived around Hulme, Eccles, Stretford area. Would like to trace any descendants of the Norburys.

Annie NORBURYm Thomas SUTHERLAND ca 1884

blodeuwedd2001 — 2007-06-17 20:55:08Z

Thomas Sutherland b ca 1843 in Glasgow was married to Annie E Norbury,(b ca 1848), in 1885. In 1891. they lived in Stretford nr Manchester. Annie was born in or near Manchester and so were their 3 children: Annie N Sutherland,b ca 1886. Marguerite E (Daisy) b ca 1887 and Thomas Douglas, b ca 1888. There was also John Alexander Sutherland, b 1878 in Co Durham, a son from Thomas' first marriage. I'm looking for the parents of Annie Norbury, and want to find out what happened to the children. I have Barton upon Irwell, Old Trafford, and Stretford as places where they lived from the 1880's on. I know that John Sutherland went to South Africa or Kenya.

alan11138 — 2007-03-30 12:58:26Z

I haven't yet researched the Norbury family at all and I was hoping for a short-cut to more information on Sarah's husband Charles Longden. On the other hand you may be right about Sarah and John being related, so I'll have a look at censuses and let you know.
I'm in the UK and whilst I have some contacts in Australia they don't cover this branch of the family and therefore the Norburys. If this leads anywhere I may be grateful for your help.
Whilst we establish whether we have anything to work on by all means email me at alan11.freeuk.com.

Alan

Sarah Norbury (b. c. 1854, perhaps Macclesfield)

alan11138 — 2007-03-29 21:54:27Z

Sarah Norbury married Charles Longden, perhaps in 1872, and they(?) emigrated to Australia , perhaps in 1883. Charles died in Australia in 1938.

I would like to make contact with anyone who also knows of either of this couple.
