Samuel Morris's family (c. Hereford)

[cimbrio]

Hi y'all, I'm back from my Balkan trip (Croatia, Montenegro and Bosnia-Hercegovina, all beautiful, I ardently recommend them!). Spidermonkey, can you confirm the marriage between William Vickress and Mary Orchard, date, place, etc? It doesn't seem as if they had children from what I have seen, and as for death dates, I think William passed away in 1870, and Mary lived for a few more years.

I suppose Alfred met Hannah orchard via Mary orchard, but then again it wasn't strange that people from two families intermarried... Look at Elizabeth Vickress marrying Samuel Morris and Ellen Morris marrying William Vickres...

Thank you Is the 1838 date the marriage date between Joel and Hannah or Hannah Jr's birth date?

Already included the facts in the family tree Logically they didn't have any children together, William and Mary, they were both 41 when they married...

1838 is Hannah's birthdate.

Hannah senior died, and Joel remarried to Mary Bean.

This is my 1st use of the site and and see post by you late last year on "Vickress".  I have just started putting together the family tree.  Anf information you could forward on Vickress's would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Vickress and welcome to Rootschat!  There is quite a lot of info on Vickresses within this thread (did you know you can print out the thread which I've found sometimes makes reading through info a lot easier!), do you fit into the Herefordshire Vickress branch?

If you want any help researching, give a shout and we'll all be along to try and help (or hinder in my case  )

I am working my way through all the names and dates in the thread.  I can trace my Grandfathers William Henry Vickress's birth in 1898 in London.  His father was Thomas Vickress born in 1858 -1926.  I have just started to look further back.

My parents moved to Canada in 1951 where I live, so I am not sure what is the best method to get info in England where almost all the Vickress's I know of live or lived.  Any tips on how I should proceed would be appreciated.

I have put togeher the Vickress family tree as I know it at http://www.myheritage.com/site-60091191/vickress-family-web-site.

Feel free to pass it to anyone who is internested in the Vickress family. 

Cheers

Hi Vickress,

I'm the one who started this embroglio of a thread. My great-great grandmother was a Vickress (I see you've included her on the My Heritage family tree). Any luck finding the link? The Vickresses came from Herefordshire, England. There are also some (not related, for the moment) in Kent and London, and others (a branch of my family) in Cheshire.

I haven't been able to fit in your great-grandfather but by all means e-mail me so we can work a bit on what our common link is.

I'm off to Stambul for the weekend, be back on Monday!

Ciao!
