ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Gerry Report 25 Nov 2019 16:17

The 1851 Cencus has James Morgan (a Mason) b1804 and his wife Eliza b1821 living with their 7 children in Limpley Stoke Wiltshire.

The children -

James 1836
Eliza 1837
Mary Ann 1839
William 1844
Harriet 1846
Maria 1849
Mary Jane 1851

I cannot find the family again, nor can I find the childrens' Mother's maiden name, nor any wedding

I cannot even find birth/baptism records for any of the children
