I am trying to help a friend trace his family tree but have hit a brick wall. I am trying to trace a Sarah A Morbey born around 1862 but Morbey is her married name. She married a John Thomas Morbey in about 1881. Both are from Northampton. I can find them on the 1881, 1891 and 2001 census but no marriage to give her maiden name.

In the 1881 census, they are living with a family called Mawby :-\
Are you sure the surname is Morbey?

I am just saying that, if you look at the original page from the 1881 census, in the same house is a Mawby family, and then John Thomas an Sarah.
Then there's this from 1871:
Reference RG10, Piece 1480, Folio 78, Page 23
6 Riding, Northampton St Giles
Mawby, William Head M Cabinet Maker b Newport Pagnell, Bucks
Mawby, Harriett Wife F 39 Upholsterer b same
Mawby, Jane Daughter F <something> Factory b same
Mawby, James Son M 13 French Polisher b same
Mawby, Harriett E Daughter F 12 b same
Mawby, John T Son M 9 Scholar b Northampton St Sepulchre
Mawby, Louisa Daughter F 7 Scholar b Newport Pagnell
Mawby, William Son M 3 b Northampton, All Saints
Mawby, Amy Daughter F 1 b Northampton St Giles

On the1871 census William has the surname clearly Morbey but his son John is Mawby. The James in 1881 is his brother. The marriage Claire.t found is the only one close. On the 1861 census William is Morby.

Hi
I have a Morby line from Huntingdonshire, and the spellings vary all the time from Mawby to Morbey and even Morley, so I am not surprised to see all these variations, although it doesn't make it any easier to find them!

Hi again.
I have looked at the original register entry in the Parish Records today.
The confusion seems to be with the Vicar spelling the entry as below.
St Edmund's P.C. After Banns
Pg. 92, No. 183
December 25th 1880
John Thomas Morley, 19, Bachelor, Finisher, 55 Somerset St., father William, Cabinet Maker, to
Sarah Ann Godrey, 19, Spinster, 55 Somerset St., father Edward, Moulder
John signed John Thomas Morbey and Sarah as Sarah Ann Godfrey
Witnesses: James Aubrey Parkinson and Jane Morbey

Hi JackieC59.
I looked at the entry at the Northampton Library. :)
You can also see the original P.R.'s at the Northampton Record Office.
