I know, very weird names.
I was searching yesterday on the BMD search machine for the Vickresses, to see if there were any hints. Here's what I found:
*
Frederick Vickress, died Jun 1891, Kington (I think 74 y.o).
*
Daisy Elizabeth Vickress, born Sep 1904, Kington.
*
Elizabeth Vickress married on Sep 1876, Kington (I didn't double-check it but I think it's the same one who married Samuel Morris).
*
William Vickress, married Jun 1889 in Kington (ditto, but I think he's the one who married Ellen Morris, Samuel's younger sister; i.e. a brother and a sister from the Morris family married a sister and a brother of the Vickress family.
*
William Vickress, born Sep 1845 Leominster. Could this be the same William as above, Elizabeth's brother, who married Ellen Morris in 1889?
*
William Vickress, born Mar 1859 Presteigne (seems unlikely to be connected).
*
Milbrow Vickress, married Mar 1887 in Weobley. Is this the Millborough who was with Elizabeth in Radnorshire in 1851?
*
William Frederick Vickress, born Jun 1898 in Weobley. Milbrow's or William's son perhaps?
*
Eleanor Susan Vickress, born Sep 1895 in Weobley. Ditto.
*
Ann Drusilla Vickress, born Dec 1893 in Weobley. Ditto.
*
John Vickress, born Jun 1890 in weobley, ditto.
*
Milbrow Vickress, born Mar 1892 in Weobley. ditto.
DEATHS:
*Ellen Vickress (I suspect née Morris), died Jun 1924 in Leominster, 68 y.o. My Ellen Morris who married William Vickress was christened in October 1855, so it would fit the age.
*Millbrow Vickress, died Mar 1894, 74.y.o., in leominster. I'm suspecting the father of the three Vickress siblings.
My theory is that Millbrow Vickress and wife (name unknown for now) had at least three children:
-Elizabeth, born about 1846, married Samuel Morris in 1876. Four children.
-Millbrow/Milborough, birth date unknown, married in 1887 in Weobley (wife's name unknown), possible father of the five children born in Weobley between 1890 and 1898.
-William, born 1845, married Ellen Morris (who died in 1924), also possible parents of the five children.
I know there were Vickress cousins because one of them wanted to marry my gran's cousin Joan Morris, and she declined because at the time she was training to be a nurse, or some such story.
Can anyone confirm any of the above?
