      Marriage between William Norris and Mary Titchener appears under both Bishopstrow, Wiltshire and Bishopstone, Wiltshire on FamilySearch, as do the baptism transcriptions of their children. The records under Bishopstrow are almost certainly an error.

      Marriage between William Norris and Mary Vallis only appears under Bishopstrow, as do the baptisms of their children, Joseph (1794) and William (1800). Mary Vallis was baptised in Bishopstrow in 1754 - which helps to explain why the couple had no more children after William born about 1800.
