Hi
I have located a George Morris on the 1881 census residing at Homend, Ledbury with occupation of Baker & Confectioner, birthplace of Ledbury and age 40 years. Also listed in the household on census night his wife Jane ? and mother-in-law Hannah Shakesheff. Can someone do a look up on the 1871 census for George Morris.

Hi Jeannette
Thanks for that, could I ask you to check the 1861 census for George.
The reason behind tracing him backwards through the census is I am hoping for clues to help me locate his marriage. On the 81 census his mother-in-law was named as Hannah Shakesheff. A search for a marriage for George Morris to Jane Shakesheff failed to produce a result.

Thanks to all for locating George Morris through the census. It looks as if he married sometime between the census's of 61 & 71.
