I am trying to post a new message this time.  Hope it goes thru.

A few years ago I corrisponded with Rev Hammond and well as chatting with him on the phone. We did quite a bit of speculation about the Normores.

1. He is the individual that first suggested that Catherine might be a Normore.  The evidence is circumstancial.  There third child was named Gregory.  This seems to fit the English naming pattern whereby you name children 1) after yourself, 2) after the paternal parents, 3) after the maternal parents (and if there are more children) 4) after paternal and then maternal aunts and uncles.  Following that pattern has led to generation after general of people with the same names.
   
   Other evidence includes the fact that Catherine moved to the Adam's Cove / Broad Cove CB area after her husband died.  Edward Normore lived in Adam's Cove.
   
   When the son of John and Catherine had a first son, he named him Edward Norman.  Suggesting that he thought of Edward as a surgate father.  (See naming patterns above.)
   
   
2. Other specultation.  Following Seary's lead about the name Normore.  Rev Hammond and I decided that there is a good chance that Normore is a corruption of Norman.  Gregory was from the Channel Island and spoke English with a French accent.  This means that he would have dropped or slurred the ending "n" in Norman making it sound like Norma.  I also have Le Grows in my family line.  The LeGrows came from the Channel Islands as well.  In the Channel Islands the name is spelt LeGross.  A check of Channel Island surnames reveals many Normans but few Normores (I couldn't find andy)
