NORGROVE RESEARCH INTERESTS


My direct ancestral Norgrove line is as follows:

(probably) Nathaniel Norgrove. Married Margaret Knott in 1711/2 at Ludlow, Shropshire, and had four children: Mary (1712), Thomas (1714), Elizabeth (1716) and William (1718). Mary was baptised at Bitterley, Thomas and Elizabeth at Ashford Carbonel, and William at Ashford Bowdler. The marriage register indicates that Nathaniel and Margaret were both of the parish of Bitterley (it was fashionable to marry in Ludlow). I have no record of Nathaniel's death.

Thomas Norgrove. Probably baptised in 1714, at Ashford Carbonel, Shropshire. He married Anne (maiden name, date and location unknown). They had eight children: Richard (1742), Thomas (1744), Anne (1746), Elizabeth (1750), Mary (1750), John (1752), William (1752) and Ann (1756). It seems possible from these dates that they had two sets of twins. I have no record of his death.

Thomas Norgrove. Baptised in 1744 at Stanton Lacy, Shropshire. He married Elizabeth Adney in 1774 at Ludford, Shropshire. They had eleven children: Ann (1775), Elizabeth (1777), Alice (1779), Meriah (1781), Richard Tyston (1783), Sarah (1785), Thomas (1787), George (1789), John (1789), Theodosia (1790) and (probably) Hariat (1793). George and John were presumably twins. Thomas was a farmer. He died in 1799 and was buried at Bitterley, Shropshire.

Theodosia Norgrove. Born in 1790, and baptised at Bitterley. She married Thomas Froggatt, a farmer, between 1811 and 1813, and they had nine children: Harriet (1813), Emma (c. 1815), Amelia (1817/8), John (1819/20), Eliza (1823), Catherine (1825), Henry (1828), Charlotte (1831) and Helen (1833). She died in 1866 at Bitterley, then of Woodhampton, Little Hereford, and was buried at Bitterley.

Her husband, Thomas, was previously married (1800) to Theodosia's elder sister, Elizabeth Norgrove, who was born in 1776 or 1777 and baptised in Bitterley. She bore Thomas six children: Thomas (1801, died as a baby), Elias (1802), Thomas (1805), Elizabeth (1806), Sarah (1809) and Mary Anne (1811). Elizabeth died in 1811 and was buried at Bitterley.
