1851 Census jane NORTON - Tailoress B Devonport was living at Little Bicton Place, Littleham.
Subsequent generations living in Topsham, Withycombe, Littlrham, Exmouth.All male NORTONs mariners up to my grandfather Sydney John NORTON who was an officers' stewsrd on the 'Seagull' and drowned in the Clyde age 39 in 1914.
Lots of Nortons around Awliscombe, Honiton, and Lympstone. I would be interested to learn if any are descendents of John NORTON or of his 7 siblings from around 1772 onwards.
