hi, every1! im new here. i googled an ancestor and a few threads from here came up. and a friend and cousin was involved in the threads, and had a lot of help from people here. so i thought id give it a go.
im looking for help with my john morton. so, here's the info i have.
he was born john morton, on the 10th march 1842, in strand, st anne, westminster, london. to richard william morton, a coach trimmer, and mary. her surname is difficult to read, it looks like hyatt or wyatt. i've studied the handwriting from the record, and can't quite say with confidence that my interpretation is correct.
i can't find his family on the 1841 or 1851 census. simply because i have no idea whose family he belonged to. my great aunt had research done on hium in the 80's. the info she had, i can't verify. in 1841 there is a family that fits, and 1851 as well, but the only thing they have in common is the family members. the families are not the same.:o
my next hurdle is in 1861. john was married in august 1865 at marylebone, london, to marian vye gadd. i can't find either on the 1861 census. but, marian's family goes back to the 1600's. and ive got her family on the census for 1841 and 51. her family is also missing in the 1861 census.
i found john and marian on the 1871 to 1891 census, but then dissapear in 1901, although i can find they're kids in 1901. but the death indexes from freebmd.com don't have they're deaths until 1921, in yorkshire. the family moved there in 1900. and i have looked up the london and leeds areas.
i've tried everything i can think of, and asked around on ancestry, and genforum, and had no luck with john. can anyone here help me with my morton?
