Ann Morris

[smcalpine]

Anyone know anything about Ann Morris who married Joseph Hamstead [ born Truro in Cornwall?]

She was born in Castlerea Co Roscommon in the 1820s.

For some reason, Ann and Joseph changed their name to Escott at one stage in their lives then changed back again to Hamstead.

All information gladly received !!!!

Hello Sue

What denomination were Ann and Joseph? Were they  members of the Catholic faith, the Established Church (Anglicans or Church of Ireland), Methodists or Presbyterians?

You may have to rely on Church records as civil registration in Ireland was not introduced until 1864. Non Catholic marriages were registered from 1845 onwards. When registration for BDMS started in 1864 some people didn't bother with the registration for a few years after that date. Keep your fingers crossed that church records still exist.

If you've made no progress to date and you've not done so already a letter to the Editor of the Roscommon Herald might produce a result. Family history queries are occasionally published in local newspapers. www.roscommonherald.ie/general/contact.asp

Hi Tevor!

I would be happy to share what I have with you - I have the Hamstead/Escott line back to the 1500s and some info about Annie Morris parents but as yet, no reason for the name change.

Joseph/Annie were my great, great, great grandparents. What relationship were they to you? I have a photo of them I can pass on but am at work at moment so will need to wait till I get home

Hi Sue,

The HAMSTEADs are my wife's ancestors.  Her line is *** grandmother Florence HAMSTEAD 1889; Gt. Gf Peter HAMSTEAD 1853; 2x Gt Gf JoSeph HAMSTEAD 1829.

I have very few photos as my wife's father, John DRIVER, was brought up by relatives when his mother died shortly after childbirth.   I have no photos or artefacts on any HAMSTEAD or GUEST.

I can send you a DRIVER - GUEST - HAMSTEAD  tree or Family History but don't know how to do so using this site.   My e-mail address is (*) if you wish to correspond directly.       

I have loads of information on my main interest - the RUSHBYs - if you can make a connection.

Trevor

my father's great great grandfather was Joseph Hamstead of Rptherham, his great grandfather was Peter Hamstead and his father was George.  My Dad, Peter Murray,  died last July in Maryland, USA, I know very little about the family history

Trevor, I think that Florence might have been George's sister
I also know that Joseph Hamstead was originally Joseph Escott from Cornwall
I hope tp hear from one of you

Jane

please

Hi Jane - great to hear from you. I now have Hamstead / Escott history back to the 1500 and another branch along that line to the 1400s that I will be happy to share.

I am at work at the moment so can't attach the photo I have of Joseph Hamstead/Annie Morris but will do so when I get home
