"Son of Thomas NURLEY (Sic.) and Mary BEECHING - husband of Charlotte BUTLER. Born Bethersden, Kent, England and died in Wandiligong, Victoria, Australia. Charlotte, Thomas' wife, was born in 1832 in Benenden, Kent, some 10-15 km from where Thomas was born. They were married on 11th. April 1848 in the Church of England in Ashfield, New South Wales. Charlotte was the daughter of George BUTLER and Charlotte GLADWISH. It is unknown where Charlotte died and is buried - she is unable to be traced on the BDM's.
From the book ""Bright Gold"" written by Brian Lloyd and Kathy Nunn comes the following exerpt:
John Walker remembers Norley as (a) man well past middle age in 1875 at the Cornish (mine) lifting a rock that two men of ordinary strength, John Forrester and Morgan Davies, could scarcely get off the ground. When Norley worked on the Oriental tramway, he was said to be capable of lifting a derailed 2.5 ton ore truck back on to its rails."" Occupation: Miner, Wandiligong."
