Does anyone know this ancestry member? Are you perhaps "Robert"? Please read all the info I've gathered so far and if you can help to put me in touch with this person who is the owner of the Jameson/Jamieson/Baker/Holmes & Murray Family Trees, I'd be delighted. Thanks for your time.
I'm desperately trying to contact this person to help me with siblings of my 3xGGF James Murray.
In the 1851 census I have Joseph and Mary living in Holmegate Row, Claylane, Clay Cross, Derbyshire with 2 children Hannah and Thomas b.c. 1847 and 1850 both in Cromford. Joseph is correctly from Nantwich, Cheshire. In 1861 it looks Like Mary has died and Joseph is married again to yet another widow called Hannah Jordan. Hannah's 6 surviving children by her first marriage are with them as is Thomas, again correct birthplace of Cromford. The couple and Thomas have been entered as Morris and not Murray (this has happened to me once before in 1851 with my own 3xGGF who was Joseph's brother). Hannah's children are incorrectly given as Jording and are referred to as sons and daughters in law of Joseph. I have read somewhere that step children are sometimes referred to in this way on censuses. I don't know where Joseph's own daughter Hannah is in 1861, maybe she's married or dead.
In 1851 Hannah and her first husband James Jordan were living in Bailey Hill, Gloucestershire. The children are the same ones living with the above mentioned Joseph Morris apart from one older one fled the coop and the youngest who was not born by 1851 census day.
By this I'm assuming Mary Murray formerly Eaton, nee Britland died somewhere between 1851 and 1861 but I don't know whether in Derbyshire, Gloucestershire or Colliery Houses, Sherburn, Co. Durham where Joseph and Hannah and family were living in 1861.
My direct ancestor James' father was a labourer called Thomas which I have from his marriage certificate. His age never varied on censuses give or take 1-2 years sometimes which is normal. The only baptism I have ever found is 5 September 1824 Nantwich, Cheshire. The Cheshire PRDB gives his parents as Thomas Morrey or Morris and Ellen. Thomas Morrey married Ellen Whittingham on Acton by Nantwich. If this is my line then, James has two brothers, Thomas and Joseph and two sisters Jane and Ann. Another researcher has Ann marrying into the Eachus family and Thomas possibly marrying Matilda Capper. I've no idea what happened to Jane.
I need to prove conclusively that Thomas Morrey and Ellen Whittingham were indeed my James' parents. Hopefully one day, I'll find someone descended from his assumed siblings that can prove the link.
