Erroneously entered on the Penelope’s roll in the surname of ‘Morris’, rather than ‘Norris’.

Edward Norris was born in Chatham, Kent in February 1861 and entered the Royal Navy as a Stoker 2nd Class in October 1880. A Stoker by the time of his service in H.M.S. Penelope (May 1882 to August 1884), he was invalided ashore in November of the latter year.

Sold with file of research, including copied service record.
