Thanks so much as I already have a whole pile of Norburns to sort out and this has confirmed my doubts about my total muddle. So many James'. I thought I was alone as not many Norburns left.

My brother did not have children but there are relatives (children) and their children from A Benjamin Norburn, all across Australia. At least I got to know his wife.

All good and thanks.
