Hi Ann,
I was looking to see if any of your Norburns were related to mine as it's quite an unusual surname. They seem to have lived in similar ie Kimberworth and Wentworth but so far I haven't found a link. I have fairly extensive research on the family from two other people as well as my own and many fascinating stories if you have more information

Hi, if you look on this post you will see the info i have previously posted.
i don't have a lot of info at the moment but i will be happy to share what i have.
would you mind giving me some of your info? i can then see if it matches mine.
i know that her parents were called Samuel and Mary ( Machin )
Regards
Ann

Hi Ann,
Thanks for your reply. I have scanned my direct line and will send to you via email. There is a very interesting story in the Norburn family where my GGG grandfather killed his brother. The story featured in the WDYTYA magazine a few years ago. After it was published I met the GGG grandson of the brother who was killed. He took me out for lunch despite our differences!

Hi Ann,
Just worked out I have a common ancestor with Clara about 10 generations back for me and 7 for Clara so very distant cousins!

Hi Lois, thanks for your reply , that is a very interesting story, i haven't found any interesting things out about the Norburns so i will be great to add that info to my notes.
i know you said that Clara was a very distant cousin but at least there is a connection and i'm grateful that you are willing to share the info with me.
if there is any info you need? and if i have it or come across some then i will let you know and be willing to pass it on to you.
Regards
Ann
