Is there a Doctor in the house?

Hi Gadget, his father has the same Christian names [why am i not surprised!!] and was down as a Slate quarryman.

I assume Dr. Morris must have had a good education to get where he did. He didn't marry until he was 29 and Lillian was 28. .

I'd reached a really sticky patch with my Welsh lot and popped over to England to my father's side of the family and i've come across one individual who seems to claim birth rights in both Ireland and Scotland. Never mind that most of the rest of his family come from Bedfordshire.  Oh isn't this all fun

A product of the superior Welsh education system no doubt 

I noticed your quandry with the Irish/Scottish birth on the 1841. Is it possible to scan the little bit of the census page that gives the questionable place/country and put it up on the thread you've started on the Irish board. Then we can all have a look.

Hi again Gadget,  I've tried dozens of times to lift bits of census sheets on to Rootschat but just cannot manage it except just one time when it worked but to be honest with you i cant remember how i did it :-[I've tried copy and paste, I've tried 'save' and then copy and paste but i keep getting a message saying that my pc security system wont let me do that!!!

Have you got the census page saved to your computer?

I'll PM you and maybe you could send me the page by e-mail to have a look at/select from and then you can put it up.

This is rather late   But i have just stumbled on this web site but to answer your enquiry I am the only grandchild of Lilian and Joseph Morris who were married at my great grandparents house, Myfanwy Cottage, Nant Road, Lodge. Can I help you? I would be very interested in contacting you as you mention you are my Nains  second cousin and her mother was a Hughes.  My Taid came from Blaenau. My great grandfather worked at the steelworks and came from Holywell.

As a matter of interest the education of my Grandfather and his brothers was a great sacrifice to his family. He trained in Scotland with distinction in Edinburgh and Glasgow.

Hi I have just found this post.
I think I may be about ten years late - but would love to make contact with polidor as the photo that you refer to is indeed my Nain and Taids wedding day.
  It did not take place in 1916 as you have stated. 
My Taid was Doctor Joseph William Morris from Blaenau Ffestiniog  he is accompanied by his brothers John Morris , H M I and William Morris , Reverend and archdruid. My Nain was Lilian Barker, daughter of Kate and John Barker and she is accompanied by her sister Mabel Barker.
I would love to know more of your connection with the family - who was my Nains cousin - I had only met one and she lived in Wrexham.
I really to hope to hear from you
