Hi, I am looking for help to confirm dates of baptisms and births. I have looked on the free births and got the basic info but ideally I would like to confirm dates without having to purchase certificates (Getting rather expensive).

Looking for:
MARY ANN MORRISS bc1849
FRANK MORRISS bc1851
GEORGE MORRISS bc1854
JAMES MORRISS (GOT ALL INFO)
STEPHEN MORRISS bc1860 all possibly born in Chichester


HAZEL MORRISS bc1888
ALBERT JAMES MORRISS bc1897 both possibly born in Havant/Portsea area

JOHN G V MORRISS b1923 Portsmouth d1989.
MALE MORRISS b1924 d1924 Southampton.
JACQUELINE G V MORRISS b1925 Southampton. (Marriage/death needed)
MICHAEL A P MORRISS b1929 Portsmouth.

There is Jewish in the family so not sure how to find out if any of these relatives are Jewish? Any help would be a god send.

Kind regards
David

Have you already tried Freebmd David? You can also check for baptisms on Familysearch.

Thanks Brummiejan. I'll take a look at family search but I've looked at Freebmd.

No baptisms for any of them on Ancestry....................

Thank you for your help Reggie. I'd seen various marriages for Jacqueline but wasn't sure. The info you have provide has been a great help. Thanks you again

There simply wasn't a marriage for Jacqueline anywhere in England/Wales, so I'm not sure what you saw..............

And please keep requests about the same family to ONE thread.
