nice to "meet" you Mike.

The census records I quoted in the previous message were for YOUR John & Elizabeth.... not William. I don't think they used the Marshall name in Sheila's side of the family, but the mothers maiden name as a middle name does make an appearance - her great grandfather (William's son) was called Benjamin Lister Morton

Anyway, just getting ready to head out to a New years party, so I'll talk to you next year and we'll sort it all out.

Cheers
Tom

Hello and happy new year to you!
We have John Morton's brother, William Morton b 1815 marrying Sarah Anne Lister b 1827 - is that your descendent line?
Interesting that they had children where the name Marshall was used as a middle name too.
We are using MyHeritage as a means of recording our family tree.
How are you recording your findings?
And yes, we would like to share our findings with you - we have already caught up with a third cousin in NY and another close by in UK!!!
Regards
Mike Morton

John Morton marries Elizabeth Ellerington 1841
Twelve children arrive, amongst them is:
John Marshall Morton b1845 York, marries Sarah Towers Liverpool 1865
William Ellerington Morton b 1873 marries Margaret Walker Birkenhead 1898
William Ellerington Morton b 1899 W.Derby
Harold Gordon Morton b 1908 Egremont Cheshire
We have the family in 1911 in Seacombe, Wallasey and we would be interested in the the next stage - this is from three branches of the original 12 siblings of John and Elizabeth's family that have got together through Roots Chat!
