I am researching my great, great, great grandparents John MORRIS and Mary Gallagher MORRIS of Newport, Shropshire, England. I have the following information for them;
| 1841 Newport, Shropshire, England (High Street, Watkin’s Yard) | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Household | Role Gender | Age | Birthplace |
| John Morris | M | 40 | Ireland |
| Mary Morris | F | 35 | Ireland |
| Michael Morris | M | 10 | Shropshire |
| Bridget Morris | F | 6 | Shropshire |
| Margaret Morris | F | 4 | Shropshire |
| John Morris Jr | M | 1 | Shropshire |
These are John Morris and Mary Gallagher Morris Children;
| Michael Morris | Birth Date | 28 Feb 1828 | Chester, Cheshire | |
| Baptism Date | Chester, Cheshire | |||
| Mary Morris | Birth Date | 26 Dec 1829 | Chester, Cheshire | |
| Baptism Date | 27 Dec 1829 | Chester, Cheshire | St Werburgh's | |
| Catherine Morris | Birth Date | 7 Aug 1832 | Newport, Shropshire | |
| Baptism Date | 16 Aug 1832 | Newport, Shropshire | Saints Peter & Paul | |
| Anne Morris | Birth Date | 1833-1834? | ||
| Baptism Date | ||||
| Bridget Morris | Birth Date | 1835? | ||
| Baptism Date | ||||
| Margaret Morris | Birth Date | 27 June 1836 | Newport, Shropshire | |
| Baptism Date | 10 July 1836 | Newport, Shropshire | Saints Peter & Paul | |
| John Morris | Birth Date | 30 Dec 1839 | Newport, Shropshire | |
| Baptism Date | 5 Jan 1840 | Newport, Shropshire | Saints Peter & Paul | |
| Mary Morris | Birth Date | 1 Feb 1842 | Newport, Shropshire | |
| Baptism Date | 6 Feb 1842 | Newport, Shropshire | Saints Peter & Paul |
I have not been able to find the 1851 or later schedules for John and Mary MORRIS ; their daughters Mary born 1829, Catherine and Bridget I have no idea what happened to them, Michael, Anne, and Mary born 1842 immigrated to Cumberland, RI. John MORRIS Jr stayed in England and Margaret was a servant in Newport, Shropshire in 1851 and Beckenham, Kent in 1861.
Any help with this will be greatly appreciated!
Hi Malcolm,
Thanks for the death information, I'll take alook at it! The family lived in Watkins Yard in 1841 anyway to see if this area still exists??

There is a death recorded on FreeBMD for Sep Q 1838
Families often named a child after one who had died earlier. I suggest this may have happened with Mary b 1842.
