ok, i'm chasing a stephen morton, andy help is much appreciated.
what i have is the birth of richard morton on 27 jun 1863 at ayr, scotland. son of stephen morton a coal miner and helen campbell, married 1862 glasgow. informant is helen, mother. there is no trace of this marriage.
next is the 1871 census: 28 mcpherson st, blackfriars or college, lanarkshire.
stephen morton- boarder. 31, b.1840 england. coal miner. married.
sarah morton- boarder. 27, b.1844, glasgow. mill worker. married.
ellen morton- boarder. 7, b.1864, glasgow. mill worker.
death-13 oct 1877 govan workhouse.
stephen morton, pauper. formerly married to sarah mulholland. former residence 22 crown st glasgow. age 45, b.1832. son of richard morton, deceased labourer and mary nee pame. informant-w. baillie governor's assistant.
there is also this birth which i think is connected:
27 jun 1865 lying in hospital, glasgow.
stephen illegitimate son of sarah morton, mill worker of 101 bridgegate glasgow.
i have not been able to trace stephen morton before 1863- though i suspect he is mine, my stephen vanishes after the 1851 english census. he does not seem to have married at all, rather shacked up with helen campbell and sarah mulholland.....i cannot trace helen or her son. there is no trace of ellen's birth. her mother sarah registered ellen's death on 11 oct 1883 in anderton glasgow. this is how i know sarah's maiden name.
likewise i have nothing on the stephen morton b.1865 illegitimately.
if anyone can help out in any way, it would be much appreciated, because i have a headache!
