aunt and uncle deaths

[kylejustin]

hi all, im after the deaths of an aunt, sarah morton, and her brothers stephen and joseph.

sarah was born in 1835, st anne's, westminster, london, middlesex.
stephen was born in 1837, st anne's
and thomas and joseph were born in 1840, st anne's. thomas died that year.
they are the children of richard william morton and mary wyatt.
i have the parish records, and some census records.

they are in st anne's in 1841.
newington in 1851. richard believed to have died in 1853.
joseph and stephen go missing.
mary and sarah are living together in newington, st peter walworth,until mary's death in 1881.
i cant find sarah, joseph or stephen after these census links, or spot any deaths for them.

mainly because the districts change, and they're not willing to tell me where they are!!

elaine, if you come across this thread, yes, its the same sarah you were helping with the other day.

There's not a lot we can do to help at the moment as Ancestry isn't working!

[kylejustin]

dont sound so panicked!!:D

[Elaine ..Spain]

There is a Joseph Morson in 1861 - transcribed as Morton on FMP - cannot view the Ancestry image at the moment
b 1839 Westminster
RG09/151/5/14

1871 census
RG10; Piece: 619; Folio: 129; Page: 47
Joseph Morton b 1840 Soho, wife Eliza

can't see him in 1881 at the moment.

[kylejustin]

they look good, elaine. ill check them out when the images are available on ancestry.

[kylejustin]

it's definently morton in 1861, though he is a culler.

and the one in 1871 is correct, hes a boot something, which his mum and sister were similarly too.

1861 isnt right, because there's a joseph married to matilda in 1891 he's a culler

[Elaine ..Spain]

Sorry cannot see anything suitable for 1861.

[kylejustin]

thanx for trying. these mortons give me a headache. they're very difficult to locate. they move to neighbouring parishes, and then get mistranscribed, and worse still, die under the new registration districts!!

it's definently morton in 1861, though he is a culler.

Won't that be "cutter" if he was in the boot/shoe trade?

[Elaine ..Spain]

I remember looking at the image and I think it was actually cutler.

[kylejustin]

well, i wouldn't think so because of the occupation the following census, where his wife is elizabeth. the culler/cutter was married to matilda after that.

Oh sorry, I though the post was talking about the same person and you were concerned that he/she had gone from culler to boot something, but (boot) cutter to boot something might be OK!

[kylejustin]

i'm pretty sure it said culler, but assumed it had something to do with a butcher

[kylejustin]

really, big headache forming!! it's just like they dissapear!!

stephen dissapears after 1851, and i dont know if he died or if he is mistranscribed

joseph appears in 41, 51, and 71. dissapears

sarah is available 41-81, but dissapears.

i cant see any obvious deaths.

Have you thought to look on the immigration indexes for USA and Australia?
Might be a thought once ancestry gets it's act together, as they may have taken off for foreign climes!

[kylejustin]

it's a thought. i'll give it a shot. thanx
