Hi Tommy Tipper

Do the discharge papers give any personal details for Robert, home address, age, family etc.

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Re: Mary Williams born Wem Shrops 1837

Thanks everyone for all the information and the interesting suggestion about the spelling of Wem. Mary's father was recorded as James on the marriage record and assuming this to be correct wouldn't fit with parents John and Ann and not sure about the other family. It is possible that one or both parents had died and that she was with grandparents or other relatives?

Thanks for the 1851 census info. However I am not convinced this is my Mary as I would have expected her to be younger than 16, in light of all the other information I have. gillm

I too had looked at the baptism in Onibury as a possibility. Interestingly, Robert after the death of Mary went to live in Stokesay with his new wife Elizabeth and had 2 children. He died in 1874 in Hereford and was allegedly a Station Master but is buried in Chester. Everyone's help is really appreciated. gillm

Census Lookup and Resource Requests / Mary Williams born Wem Shrops 1837
« on: Monday 18 February 13 08:59 GMT (UK)  »
Can anyone help please to find Mary Williams in 1841 and 1851?

Mary Williams was  born Wem, Shropshire in 1837 (between April and August). She married Robert Morris, a tinplate worker 28th December 1857 at St John's Church, Chester and her father was recorded as James and a labourer. I can find her in 1861, married with a daughter, Sarah Ann, living in Liverpool and have her death in 1862 age 25 and buried in Chester.

Any help would be appreciated. Gillm

Hi Tommy -Tipper. Since my last post I have done more research and believe that my Thomas (1808) is likely to be a half brother to your Robert born in Derbyshire. Can I ask where you got the info from regarding his father Robert returning from Waterloo with the Rifles - is this personal family knowledge or do you have documentary evidence? gillm

Thomas was born in Chester in 1808. He married Ann Roberts from Gresford at St John's in 1832 and had as far as I know 8 children, all baptised but can only find 3 on subsequent census returns - Robert (1836-1874), Mary Ann (1838) and Thomas Minshull(1846). gillm

Many thanks for all the information. Yes, I descend from Thomas the tinplate worker who married Ann Roberts from Gresford. I will take a look at the Robert & Mary marriage. Robert serving in the rifles at Waterloo is interesting - where did you find this? gillm

Hi Ian

I too am researching the Morris family from Chester, being a direct descendant. My tree goes back to Thomas Morris (1808-1890) who married Ann Roberts (1811-1878). I have been trying to link to the marriage of Thomas Morris & Elizabeth Minshull but without success. Minshull is a middle name of a number of people on my tree but have been unable to find a baptism for my Thomas -can you help?
