Notes
General:
Date of birth recorded differently in census information taken in Conche versus that taken after moving to St. John's. John Wheeler confirms that it should be 1879.

2001: Photo caption by Joan Wheller, with parenthetic notes by Chris Morry []:

"Mom's (Agnes Norris's] family: Uncle Jack [John Bernard Norris], Aunt Sister [Marie Norris], Aunt Marg [Margaret Adelaid Norris] (back row), Uncle Jim [James Michael Norris], Aunt Kit [Kathleen Norris] (I think), Grandmother Norris [Mary Stapleton], Frankie [Frances Mary Norris],Grandfather Norris [John Norris], Mom (Agnes Ann Norris], Aunt Nell [Ellen Norris] (I think), & in front Aunt Cis [Cecilia Carmel Norris] -Garden at Leslie St. about early 1930s."

Note that the date of this photo would have to be be early 1920s, not1930s, as Joan suggests. Likely 1924 from apparent age of youngest child who was born in 1920.

Email from Lanny 050204:

"The Evening Telegram obituaries contained one for Joan and John's Aunt Kit - Kathleen Norris LeMessurier who died at 87 years of age on January 31st 2004. I don't know if you fit any of that side of Mom's family (through marriage) into your programs Chris, but if you do she was mother of Marie (Bill) Iams, Anne (Noel) Lilly and Peter (Ariana) and four grandchildren, Andrea and Ian Lilly and Mark and Christine LeMessurier.

I will let Mom and Dad know.
