Sussex Lookup Requests / Re: MORFEY born in Rye or Ripe, Sussex

Hi Lesley,

Thank you for that information.  It's really useful.  One question, does the ... m. 1871 Rye = their marriage year and place?

Unfortunately I cannot get to Hastingleigh Church to lookup the records easily.  Are these available online at all?

Hi Ian, Thank you for your response.  I will mail you.

Kind regards

Sarah

Hi everyone,

I received my Jane/Philip Gilbart ,marriage certificate.  8) Looks good.  Confirms that he was a mason.  It also confirms their father's as John and Philip, which matches the info above.
Interestingly, Philip Gilbart was a widower! So, somewhere between 1841, and 1851 he was married to someone else.  Jane is his second wife.

Thank you once again for all your help.

Greetings

Sarah

Hi Andrea,

These are correct, I believe. :) The Sussex Penfolds have been quite widely researched, so he has not been quite as difficult to trace.

According to the 1891 census, he was a convict. (I wonder what he did?). It can't be the other Penfold from 1891 because he was too young according to the census.  You are right, he must have married after 1891, and birthdates of some of the children must be out.  What a mess.  :o

Thank you for taking the time to look for me.

Sarah

Hi Andrea,

I also saw Ellen Susan Morfey, and thought maybe I had found her, but the name of her husband did not match up as far as I can tell. :(
Maybe it was the daughter of a brother of Ellen?  I just don't know.

The only definite information I have is that two of their children: Ethel Lilian Penfold (Ethel was wrongly transcribed as Ellen in the census), and her brother Albert.

I have been searching through the complete BMD indexes, but haven't had much success yet.

Thanks again Andrea

Greetings

Hi Andrea,

I don't have other certificates personally, but I found my mum's 2nd cousin, and he lists the name as Morfey as well.  He was unsure of the spelling because the certificate wasn't very clear, but my certificate seems to match/confirm that name.  He can't find her either, so we're both a bit lost.

I think I have looked a good few years before their first child.  Will try after 1891, and see what comes out of it... fingers crossed.  Hopefully, if I can find Albert Penfold, her husband, I can find the link to her as well... 

Thanks for responding :)

Greetings

Hi Gougy, ;D

Thank you once again for your response, and suggestions. :)  I saw the reference in the 1881 census, but was really unsure as to whether it was her.
I also tried scouring the Ancestry complete indexes for Morphy, Morphey, Murphy, Morley, without success, so far.  Will give it another go, as I probably missed it.

Greetings

Hi Dave,

The certifcate gives Ellen PENFOLD formerly MORFEY.
According to the certificate I see the place they were living was Hastingleigh.

Thanks again

Hi Everyone,

I would be really grateful if someone could give me any information about a "stray" Morfey

I recently ordered a birth certificate for my great great grandmother.  Her name was Ethel Lilian PENFOLD, and she was born in 1895, in Wye, East Ashford.

This gave me her parents names obviously  :) .

Her father was listed as an Albert Henry PENFOLD, born circa 1863 in Rye.
Her mother was listed as an Ellen MORFEY.  I believe she was born circa 1870 in Rye or Ripe.  However, whilst I have had reasonable success on the Penfold side of things, I can't seem to find anything about her.

I can't find her in any of the census' except the 1901 where she was already married.
I can't find her birth certificate, or a marriage certificate.

I have found references to Morfeys in Peasmarsh, but nothing that seems to link in with her.
There may be variations on the spelling of her surname, but even trying that is not returning the results I need.

Thank you in advance for any assistance/ideas, etc that anyone can give me in this area.

Greetings

Sarah
