Gloucestershire / Re: Descendants of John Amer

I'm really pleased you've replied! Elizabeth is my ggg grandmother. The earliest information I had about her is: born 5 July 1793, the daughter of John and Mary Amer.  In a later census her place of birth is given as Shoreditch. We had established the connection with Doynton but didn't know whether the family came from South Gloucestershire area to London or vice versa so you have answered that question really, and I take it that Trowbridge is the place to investigate. The family seems to have had a great deal of property and Elizabeth had a handsome marriage settlement. John is described in one document as a Miller in ?Church End Stepney I recall.
At the moment I have other things on my plate but will go through the papers and write again in about 10 days time - but keep in touch. I am sure that I have information that will interest you. and I am delighted to have the date of John and Mary's marriage.
Kind regards,
Elisabeth (blotcopy)

Thank you Valda and jennifer c for all this info - it is the right Edward Morris family. I have a small bundle of papers around 1900 - burial certificates, tenancy agreements and newspaper cuttings, also possibly photos that would be of interest to the family if only I knew how to get it to them. Any ideas? I see there is a Board for Unwanted Items but that's a long shot.
Thank you too for finding Lucie M in the 1901 census, that's one surname variation I have not tried!

Hello, I am descended from Elizabeth Amer who was born in 1790s. Her brother John became Lord of the Manor of Doynton and her nephew William succeeded him. Please get in contact.

Hello, I am trying to find out more about the descendants of Edward Morris of 26 Finsbury Park Road London who died 18 October 1937, aged about 86. He was married to my great-grandmother Lucie Madeline but he had children from an earlier marriage, including I believe a son, Gordon who was in the Army during WW1, His wife may have been Hilda. Thanks.
