There isn't any order forms, Ancestry has various ways of searching. You have to look at menu to see which one suits you.

The address at the top is just to get you there

hi, don't know if this uis any use

there is a Robert Morris in the Tranmere workhouse on the 1881 census who was born in 1879.

Is it possible this is him?  couls his surname nhave been mistranscribed?


( someone on here found one of my ancestors who's surname was really tompkins but was actually wrong on the census as Johnson - Ifound it was difinately them by further searching)

Or maybe he has his surname changed?

I think he was born in Kendal

From Freebmd

Births Sep 1879
~~~~~~~~
Bewley  Robert     Kendal  10b 714

As I think in 1881 he is with mother & father in Lancashire she Mary
Ann nee BEETHAM born 1858 Kendal

John BEWLEY 1858 Penrith, Cumberland,

Mary Ann dieds in 1890 Borkenhead which would account for him going
into the orphanage or work house

Mary Ann BEETHAM married John Graham BEWLEY in Kendal Dec Quater 1878

so it all fits

Have you got his marriage cert from 1912 yet ?
