Your G Grandfather was living at Byker in Newcastle reference the 1901 census. He was living with a family called Smith. Also, there was a boarder living there . She was called Sarah Snaith. I believe she later became John Henry's wife. It is Snaith on his attestation papers not Smith. Apologies for my error.

Dave.......
You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough.
Best regards,
Dave

Hi Dave. Thank you so much for the warm welcome and the information. I must have overlooked the record with the Morton transcription error. Thanks for finding it for me. I'm so glad I joined this forum. Everyone has been so helpful.

Yes, John Henry Norton did stay with his cousin, Ainsley Smith, in 1901 where he must have met my 2x great grandmother, Sarah Snaith (who was a boarder/servant?). They married in August the same year and my great grandmother, May Norton, was born 9 months later in May 1902. Must have been a whirlwind romance. ; )
