NORBERRY Thomas c 1560-1629 - Cheveley
Thomas Norberrie married Alice IMYN at Chevely in 1582. Their baptism dates are probably too early for the register which starts in 1559. His father is possibly the Thomas Norberrie buried in 1591, and the Elizabeth Norberrie who married in 1582 and Ann in 1584 are probably his sisters. Has anyone researched this family via the parish chest, wills etc and managed to establish or disprove any of these facts?
