Thomas and John are both Carpenters in 1851....does this tally with the occupations they give on John's marriage cert?

Yes Reg! John's parents are
Thomas Norris abt 1797 Downton Wiltshire
Elizabeth [ do not no maiden name] on the Christening Record, but like i've said on the 1841 census it's Lydia!! [ do not no her maiden name] kind regards Ann.

You posted a notice on Records Board 2 December about "What School" for Norris. People tried to help you with some real answers and suggestions, but you have not yet had the courtesy to reply.This is now on page 7 of this Board still unanswered by you.

The census shows the John to which you refer to be 15 in 1841, and 25 in 1851.........making his birth 1825/6
