Member Since: February 2007 Posts: 14 Send Message	I am trying to trace any relatives of my great, great grandparents and their descendants The information I have so far is as follows: Great, great grandfather is John Storey born c 1833. He married Elizabeth Morley (c 1837) on 26 Sept 1853 at St Georges Church in Sheffield. According to the marriage certificate John was living in Crookes, Sheffield and his father's name is William. John's occupation was a grinder and William's a grinder. Elizabeth was living in Wellington Street and her father's name is Thomas, his occupation being a Cutter. I have a copy of a 1841 Sheffield census which gives William aged 35, a grinder; Ann aged 45, John aged 7 and Emma aged 5. I believe this to be the family but can find no further census relating to them. I also have copies of 1841 & 1851 Sheffield census for Thomas Morley, a Cutter, aged 36 and 46 respectively; Hannah aged 36 & 45, William 8 & 18, Henry aged 5 & 15 and Elizabeth aged 3 & 13. I believe this to be Elizabeth's family. John & Elizabeth had a son called Henry born 23 Nov 1858. Henry was born in Crookes and is my great grandfather. He died 15 December 1923 in Lowestoft. Henry was married to Jane Linch, born in Southampton Any information however small would be gratefully received. Regards Mary
