Vol 20 Lic # 53934

Norton, Clifford A m in 1928 Gertrude Shaw
Vol 22 Lic # 57447

Norton, Orville H m 1929 Mary E Murray

The above seems to tally with 1930 Rochester census:

Mary E 22 NY - other census b PA

This info agrees with Ontario Canada Birth Records at Ancestry & SSDI birth but SSDI has a death date of 09 Dec 1964 - issue NY. There is a Mary Norton buried there also, unknown date of birth, d 18 Dec 1942 - it says for Mary "this info was imported from U S Veterans Affairs" so this might be Mary Murray
