History note:
"The Rev. James Norman ... was for some years attached to a Mission in Sierra Leone. He arrived in Tasmania in 1827, and after temporary employment in Launceston and at New Town, he was appointed in 1832 to the Chaplaincy of Sorell, which at that time included Richmond and Tasman's Peninsula, and extended to Swansea, on the East Coast. His removal to Hobart upon his retirement from Sorell in 1867 was soon followed by his death in 1868."--Page [1]
