Thanks Catherine....that is helpful

Hi Catherine, yes, Josephine Morris Hayes was my grandmother, she is as far as I can get on her side due to her father supposedly being unknown but my auntie tells me he was called Joseph Morris but never married?
thanks Jo

Please post 1911 census details for reference

As he didn't marry the mother of his child, you can't find out his father's name

Hi, have been able to trace my great grandfather Joseph Morris in 1911 census but unable to find any other information. He was born in 1862
birth place: Warton Lancashire England
civil parish: Stockham and Norton in cheshire
in 1911 he lived at Moss Side Farm, Moore, Warrington where he was single, a farmer and head of household
he had a daughter Josephine Morris Hayes who was born in 1897
The only other information I have that he is buried in Daresbury church
Can anyone help please?
