James Norton emigrated circa 1890
Hi
My name is John Norton. I live in NY state. Born Tullamore Ireland 1959. My father Patrick (1934-2008) was from a large, old Athlone family. My great gran aunt Margaret (Molly)Norton Rice perished with her five sons on the Titanic. Margaret's father James is believed to have emigrated to the USA in the 1890's. All contact was lost with James after his arrival in America. Molly's sister Lucy emigrated to the USA prior to the Titanic Disaster of 1912. She was located about 1912 working for the New England Telephone Company in Springfield MA. She was then a Mrs. Stetson. All contact with Lucy was lost circa 1912. The only family member left was Michael my great grandfather who had ten children. My grandfather John had 14 children so there are lots of my Norton family both in Ireland and around the world. My grandfathers brother Sonny emigrated to the USA and had a large family in Brooklyn.
Would love to track James, as he left in dire circumstances. He lost his wife when she was 38 he lost 5 of his children before they were aged 5. The aforementioned Margaret, Lucy and Michael were his children who lived to adulthood.
