where did she come from

[ann shaw]

 I am trying to track down my g g grandmother, her married name was MORLEY, in the 1891 census it says she was Jussanka, 80 B Lynn, Norfolk, living with my g grandparents in Burford street.. In the1881 census her name was Susanna,39 B Kings Lynn,Norfolk, living at 3 Ralph st Islington. In the 1871census her name is still susanna 33, B Lynn Norfolk, living at 9 Kings Road Highbury. I cannot seem to find when she and my g g grandfather were married or what her maiden name was.My father is under the impression that she was born overseas maybe India but that doesnot seem to be the case. Any help would be greatly apprieciated.

Hi

I think this maybe your couple.
Marriage June quarter 1866 in the registration district of Ware (which covers Hoddesdon where the children and John were born).

John Morley and Susannah Randall vol 3a  page 253

and this is the only Susanna Randall living in Kings Lynn in the 1851 census.


Susan  RANDALL   Head   W   46   F   Charwoman   Norwich-Nfk
William  RANDALL   Son   U   12   M   Iron Founder or Moulder   Norwich-Nfk
Susanna  RANDALL   Daur   -   6   F   Scholar   Lynn-Nfk
   
4 Littleport Terrace
Kings Lynn
Norfolk
HO/107/1829 Folio 222   

Hope this helps you. It certainly gives you enough to obtain a marriage certificate for John and Susanna.

Hi Ann,

I would agree with Nicky that they are probably your couple. I also came another possible marriage entry: (freeBMD website)
Marriages Jun 1870
HAMMENT    Matilda        Docking    4b   511   
Morley    John         Docking    4b   511    
WAGG    Susannah Sarah         Docking    4b   511   
WINSBORROW    George         Docking    4b   511   
 
(Docking is not so far from Lynn)....but I think you can eliminate Susannah Wagg as a possibility as I also found the following entry on the 1881 census:

George MOULHAM  Head      M      Male      37      Castle Rising, Norfolk, England      Butcher      
 Harriett MOULHAM  Wife      M      Female      38      Heacham, Norfolk, England      (Wife)      
 Ernest MOULHAM  Son            Male      5 m      Heacham, Norfolk, England            
 Emily WAGG     Sister In Law      U      Female      43  Heacham, Norfolk, England      Housekeeper      
 Susanna MORLEY  Sister In Law M  Female 40  Heacham, Norfolk, England Independent Ministers Wife      
 Flora MORLEY      Niece Female 4  Cowlinge, Suffolk, England  Independent Ministers Daur      
Ernest MORLEY  Nephew  Male  3 Cowlinge, Suffolk, England            
 Susanna CLAXTON  Serv  U  Female      17      Heacham, Norfolk, England      General Servant Domestic      
 Emma STAMPS      Serv      Female 13      General Servant Domestic      
 Mary Ann BUXTON  Lodger  U      Female      75      Yarmouth, Norfolk, England      Interest Of Monies      

Snettisham Rd
Heacham
Norfolk
RG11/1991 Folio 71
    

On the freeBMD there are also some possible birth entries for Susannah:

Births Sep 1838
RANDAL    Susanna        Blofield    13   24   
Births Dec 1844
RANDELL    Susan         Downham    13   77   
Births Jun 1848
Randell    Susan         Wisbeach    14   190   
Births Sep 1848
RANDALL    Susan         Downham    13   92   

The Dec 1844 entry in Downham (Its also quite close to Kings Lynn) fits best with the 1851 census details that Nicky found, although Susanna seems to have been a bit confused about here age over the years so who knows

Regards,
Emily
