Tazz,
How are you
related to the Bedlington Morris family? Thomas and Margared were my Grandparents, Thomas died before I was born but I really loved my Grandmother.
One thing on your list, you left out my father Jacob Morris born 9 April,1908 in Bedlington.
If you or anyone else has any information on the Morris family prior the their immigration to the United States I would really appreciate it. They never talked about it, I think Mary James and my Father were too young to remember much and now I wish I had ask my Grandmother lots of Questions.
