Herefordshire / Re: Samuel Morris's family (c. Hereford)
« on: Friday 12 June 09 12:23 BST (UK) »
Hi
I thought I would throw my hat in the ring.
I have learnt this all very recently so am learning about my history slowly, I would quite like to learn more, I hope the following information is of interest to you.
My Great Grandmother was Mary Morris who married Amos Lane, when Amos died my Grandmother Emily Ellen Lane, her brother Thomas Charles Lane, sister Catherine Mary Lane went with their mother Mary Née Morris to live with Samuel C Morris and Ellen (who by all accounts was a very feisty Lady) They lived with them until Samuel died.
I have a clock which I inherited from my Grandmother who could remember it hanging on Ellen and Samuel’s wall when she lived with them. There’s also a family Bible with a family tree in it going back a long way. I saw it as a child but don’t know what happened to it, I’ll ask around the family? I do remember there being a Spanish name in it. I wonder if anyone knows where it fits in.
My grandmother met her husband William Arthur Brown born 1886 through their parents knowing each other as he was born in Prestbury not far from Macclesfield, I’m wondering if there is any connection with his parents Henry Brown born 1848 and Elizabeth Ann neé Hindley born 1846. As Diana and Thomas Frederick Vickress both Married in Macclesfield, any ideas?
Just a thought, were your Nan and Auntie Joan my mother Mary Ellen Brown (deceased) cousins? If they were could you please ask if they ever met one another?
You asked about William L Nash, he visited my grandmother from time to time, she also stayed with him and his wife at Windsor Castle, they lived in an arms house in the castle grounds, he was a charming man, I think he may have been head of the household there, after retiring from a military career, I remember he had the most beautiful ceremonial drum, I am unsure as to whether he had any children.
Any news on Ellen Mound? All I know is her father was Thomas Mound.
Regards
Arbor
