Norris Family Mississipi
Hello,
I'm looking for information on my grandfather's (Simpson L Norris) side of the family, but I'm unable to conclusively determine who his father (my great-grandfather) was.
As the family story goes, Simpson L (born 1911)and brother Charles Thomas Norris (born 1910) are the sons of Tom Norris and Edna Bunch (born 1883) - both from Mississippi. Tom was a farmer and Edna a school teacher. Edna Norris shows up on the 1910 census as a single woman living with Sarah J Norris. I'm not sure if this is the right Edna Norris, but I presume if it is she's with Tom's mother and possibly pregnant with Charles Thomas?
On the 1920 census Edna Norris is listed as a widow living in the house of Lee Skinner with Thomas and Elbe (Tom and Simpson Norris) listed. Edna apparently remarried to Lee Skinner by 1930 and is widowed a 2nd time as on the 1930 census she is listed as Edna Skinner - head of household in Lucas, Arkansas with Charles T and Luster B (Tom and Simpson Norris) listed as Skinner children.
I have been unable to find any marriage or death records linking Edna Bunch to a Norris man, nor can I find anything showing where they ever lived together and had children (my grandfather Simpson and his brother Tom.
Any information is greatly appreciated.
