Biography
sketcher, was born in Sydney, one of ten children and elder of the two daughters of James Norton (1795-1862), a prominent and wealthy Sydney solicitor, and his first wife Jane, née Mackenzie. In 1834 her father purchased Elswick, a 100-acre property on the Parramatta Road, where she lived. She had drawing lessons from Conrad Martens , whose account book contains the following entry for 23 September 1846: 'One Quarter Instruction, Miss Norton, £10.10’. Her father paid for two further quarters’ instruction on 19 August and 18 November 1847. Mr Norton lent Jane’s sketch, Elswick, Seat of James Norton Esq. , to the second exhibition of the Society for the Promotion of the Fine Arts in Australia in 1849. The Herald reviewer noted that it was 'A good bold drawing rich in tone, broadly touched with a full pencil: the drawing evidently of the Martens school’. It is probably the very competent, unsigned, oval pencil and wash sketch of Elswick House now in the Mitchell Library, which is very much in Martens’s style. Jane Norton married Rev. Charles Frederick Durham Priddle on 25 February 1851. They lived at Liverpool where Charles was minister of St Luke’s Church of England. They had at least four sons and three daughters.
