Now looking for Maria Morris in the 1891 Census in Sheffield.
« on: Friday 22 August 25 18:15 BST (UK) »

Hello all

Please could anyone help me please?

I am trying to find a Maria Morris in the 1891 Census living somewhere in Sheffield. She was of Roman Catholic denomination and was born in Broher County Sligo Ireland in 1865.

I would appreciate any help.

Thank you very much.

In 1891 she would have been 26.  Did she marry?  If so - when & where

I might be wrong, but do you mean Maria KELLY who married James MORRIS in Sept qtr 1896 in Sheffield (9c/854)? They can be found on the 1901, 1911, 1921 censuses in Sheffield with children Mary Ann, James, John and Francis.  James snr is a policeman, both James MORRIS and Maria (nee KELLY) are born Sligo.

In 1891 James MORRIS, policeman, 28, is boarding with Thomas SEMPER and family in Sheffield.

Looking at an earlier thread could Maria have still have been with her aunt in Philadelphia in 1891??

CaroleW, maddy52 and Kay99.

Thank you all for your suggestions.

From an earlier thread I found she was married to Edward Alcock at St Marie's RC Church in Sheffield in 1895. James Morris who married Maria Kelly was her brother and he became a Policeman. I know for definite that she went from the family home Broher County Sligo Ireland to Philadelphia and stayed with an aunt because I have two passenger sailing tickets one under the name of Eliza and the other under the name of Maria but not sure which is her. She then came to Sheffield and was here in 1895. 

I had always known her to be Eliza Maria Morrisroe, her mother was Mary Ann Crofton. I have found recently that some records referred to her as Mary also. When they came to the UK they dropped the "roe" and were just known as Morris. No wonder I can't pin her down. Just need to find out where she was living in Sheffield prior to her marriage. Edward Alcock was living at 11 School Lane, Sheffield according to a previous posting.   

As it in between Census dates perhaps it will remain a mystery???

Thanks.
