Is this the marriage registration?

From www.freebmd.org.uk


Marriages Sep 1878 (>99%)

Morrell Nathaniel Manchester 8d 279
WRIGHT Susan Manchester 8d 279


and Nathaniel's death registration


Deaths Sep 1879 (99%)

Morrell Nathaniel 46 Salford 8d 94


- - - -

babies with surname Morrell born in Salford in 1879 and 1880. ???The question is, are they connected with Susanna or was there another family Morrell living in Salford at that same time??

Births Mar 1879 (>99%)

Morrell Barbara Ellen Salford 8d 50


Births Sep 1880 (>99%)

MORRELL John Jones Salford 8d 37

Barbara Ellen Morrell doesn't appear in marriages or deaths, or in the 1881 census ...

John Jones Morrell isn't evident in the 1881 either (I'm not looking hard for variants), but marries:

Marriages Jun 1904
MORRELL John Jones Salford 8d 86

Sep 1879 to Sep 1880 might be a bit of a stretch.

I thought that it was a stretch as well ....... but Nathaniel might not have been the father!


and I couldn't find either of them on a census, or in deaths either.
