Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 45 Send Message	Hi Friends - is there any way I can get further back on John Morris born 1802 Bedfordshire. I;d never have got that far without the help of you all. Sadly John Morris is probably a common name. Not sure why he got married in Limehouse to Anne Warrington - but the whole family and company thereafter lived and worked in the London area. Thanks for any further help P\at

Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 45 Send Message	Yet again - many thanks- Greyghost - I am sure you have found the link to the Warrington line - I always wondered where the Sharman came from.-.I don;t know how you all managed to get quite so far back - I have been looking at censuses for ages. Slightly confused by your entry malyon - my John Morris was a surveyor I thought - not a taylor ?Wonder if the one you have found was my John Morris's Father or Grandfather.. My John Morris born 1802 approx. So now we are looking for John Morris born in Bedforsdshire around 1802 -- direct father and mother ? Thanks again- I was nearly giving up ! Pat

Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 45 Send Message	I am sure you are all right abou tthe marriage being in Limehouse - I simply couldn;t find it. Any ideas as to how I could find out any more about John Morris b 1802 or the Warrington family please. Looks like John was born Bedfordshire ? That's odd - old family tale that they were direct ancestors of Dukes of Bedfordshire- Russells and terrific family likeness in photos of my husbands Father Percy and Bertrand Russell - could be twins ! Probalby rubbish ! Thanks again Pat

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,496 Send Message	????? Looking at the birthplace of Anne Warrington, could this be a possibility for her parents marriage. Edward is shown as born Limehouse too. It might explain the middle name of "Warrington" and "Sharman" in John and Anne's children Edward Warrington mentioned in the record of Edward Warrington and Susanna Sharman Name Edward Warrington Birthplace Limehouse Middlesex Spouse's Name Susanna Sharman Event Date 30 Apr 1792 Event Place St. Peter, Wisbeach, Cambridge, England

Member Since: July 2005 Posts: 10,496 Send Message	If this is the marriage you refer to, then it's a little closer to London, than Ontario! As one of the sons has the middle name of Warrington on the 1851 census, then I expect it to be the correct one John Morris in the London, England, Church of England Marriages and Banns, 1754-1921 Name: John Morris Spouse: Anne Warrington Record Type: Marriage Event Date: 30 Apr 1823 Parish: St Anne, Limehouse Borough: Tower Hamlets Register Type: Parish Register Original says John Morris of the parish of All Saints, Poplar.

Member Since: April 2003 Posts: 45 Send Message	Spellings I have are correct for Edward Sharman Morris and Justina Margaret Garden - we have oil portraitsof them ! but they are often misspelt in census returns. Maybe Dad -John was being a surveyor out in CANADAat the time of his marriage in 1823. Thanks again Pat
