Hello Mortons of Derby!

Trying to find any info about my Gt. Grandfather, Thomas Morton, b 1854 - who were his parents?

He married Louisa Barker, born York, 1861.Date of marriage - March 1878.

Their son Saville Bradley Morton, was my grandfather, born 1881 in Derby.

Saville Married Lydia Gardner. Their son, Frank, born 31.05.1919, was my father.


The Mortons had large families - usually over six children.
There must be hundreds of Mortons in the Derby area, They lived mainly in the Alvaston area.

I would love to hear from any of them, as I lost touch with my father's side of the family many years ago.
