Samuel Morris's family (c. Hereford)

As well as the tourist info as Michael suggested, here is the website for Herefordshire Record Office http://www.herefordshire.gov.uk/leisure/archives/3584.asp .  Perhaps an email/phone call to them explaining what you want to look at might give you further guidance as to what is available (especially with regard to what parish records have been deposited where)

Hi - I am new to rootschat but came across this thread whilst researching.  My maiden name is Cartwright and have traced the tree back to 1746 where I have come to a dead end.  The link in my tree with the morris family is through Anne Cartwright who was the sister of Phillip Thomas (or sometimes Thomas Phillip) and he was my gt gt gt (not sure how many) grandfather. I have all the names and dates of the siblings in that generation and also all the siblings of Montillion (1746/7) who married Sarah Watkins.  I have managed to find that his father was William who married Mary Harpur in 1746 in Kington this is where I have come to a dead end as i can't find any other details for him - perhaps someone could help out with that! If you want any further info let me know.  Not sure where in the thread but someone refers to not knowing of a Montilion born in about 1838 - Philip Thomas had a son called Phillip Montillion born in 1836 - not sure if that helps anyone.

Hi madfaces, thanks for joining the chat! This is good news, to have found you. I know very little about the Cartwrights, except that they existed. I've been doing the family tree for years but sadly I haven't progressed much on my English family (I have Spanish and Italian blood too). I'd love to be able to write you a few more lines telling you about my side seeing we're distantly related. If you don't mind, that is. Please give me your e-mail (via this topic or via a personal message). I'll fill you in on whatever I can do to help.

Thanks!

Hi madmaces

Welcome to RootsChat  

Very good news indeed you have found each other!

When you have made three posts you will be able to contact cimbrio by personal message (pm), putting e-mail addresses in public view is discouraged because of spam.

This just shows you how many relatives one can have, and we have no idea that they even exist!

Madmaces, eagerly expecting your e-mail (sent you a private message with my own e-mail).

Regards

Hi Madmaces!

That is so cool that you've found this thread. 

Hopefully you two will compare notes and we can try to fill in any gaps

Hi everybody!!! Fresh news! Frederick Vickress, son of William Vickress, married Ann Tippins, daughter of.......... John Tippins! Frederick was from Hope-under-Dinmore, Ann from Staunton. So it appears that it is the Ann we thought, so my ancestry via her is confirmed  Now I must see what her mother's maiden name is, as it doesn't appear anywhere (her name was Susan, and she was born circa 1783).

I am so glad that the cert confirms that Ann belongs to John and Susan!

As for Susan's maiden name, I think several pages back Susan found a marriage between John Tippins and Susannah Evans (24 Mar 1809 in Lyonshall), which I think is worth keeping in mind.  (And welcome to the joys of researching names like Evans!!)
