 General Notes:
~Ormerod, " Memoir of the Lancashire House of Le Noreis or Norres, and of it Speke Branch in Particular," Transactions of the Historic Society of Lancashire and Cheshire, ser.1 v.2 1849-1850, omits this Henry. Steve Norris of The "le Norreys" family in England from 1135 to 1650. believes that Ormerod made a mistake in his pedgree of le Norris. He says he has copies of the documents of deeds to prove this. Also, The Victoria County History: A History of the County of Lancaster: Vol. 3, p. 131-140. agrees with Steve. Steve also supplies the name of Sir Henry's wife, Agnes de Ireland, the daughter of Robert de Ireland. 729,920,923
