Hello from Australia.
|
Could someone please look in the 1841 & 1851 census for Kent for a Richard Morris born circa 1831 in Chatham. In the 1851 census, he is likely to be a labourer or a shoemaker. It is possible that his father is a WL Morris.

Hi Eramophla
Could you please confirm which Richard MORRIS he is in a later census to help us locate the correct one?

Hello from Australia.
|
Unfortunetly, Richard would not be located in a later British census as he moved to Australia and married here in 1853 (I am in Australia). The only censuses he would be located in for the UK are the 1841 & 1851. His marriage certificate is not very useful as the parents of the bride and groom are unrecorded (which was normal practice in Australia until about the 1860s). His age in 1853 is given as 22. We do not even know for certain which ship he arrived in Australia on. The most likely candidate is the 'Cressy' and if this was the ship, his father is likely to be a 'WL' Morris.
If there are too many Richard Morris's in the census to be listed, could you please just provide one or two who fit Richard's age? We are aware that Richard was a shoemaker for a while, so it may be a trade that he learnt from his father.
