Sue, haven't forgotten. Lots of info. I just need to refine it. Found 2 more children, so Robert is one of 13, possibly more!!!!

All over the place here, have you got a connection to Victoria, Aust. or Wells, Somerset??? Just a few bits and pieces showing up.

Im doubtful on the connection via australia. But the somerset would be quite likely. Although i haven't found that name yet.

He might have been a friend of the NZ Highfields and that is how he came to know the Selby/Tinkers. Although to know them only through a friend and hae never met them would be quite a strange thing to decide to write a letter to.

Sue, still going through these Norris's. Robert's grandfather and some of the brothers went to NZ. Could be a connection through any of them. Honywood is another name and the area of East Coulston, Wiltshire, although they ended up in Gloucestershire. Getting there.

Cheers.

Sue, still going through all the information. Very sick at the moment, so I haven't forgotten you and very aware I am dragging the chain.

Cheers.
