morrey of bearstone
« on: Sunday 14 November 04 20:34 GMT (UK) »
Hi does anyone have any information on the morrey family from bearstone salop in the 1830's and before, till approx 1870's when they moved to congleton in cheshire.
I have had very good information off the cheshire board but would love to find out more details of my relatives from shropshire..
thank you
Paul morrey.
1871
5 Bearstone Road, Bearstone, Shropshire
Samuel Morrey Head born age 41 Bearstone birth est. (1830) Ag Labourer
Ann Morrey Wife born Ashley Staffordshire
William Morrey Son born Bearstone age 7 Scholar
 
william is not on the 1891 census in cheshire only a james a morrey [ my dads uncle arther ] and the later had another son called samuel r morrey [ my great uncle rol ] so i presume william was dead by the 1891 census but can find no record of this yet.

Thanks i think i am on the right track with the samuel morrey from bearstone as their is a 1891 census as a samuel morrey in congleton who came from bearstone and the age's are in the right area this follows through to a samuel morrey who is my great granddad down on the 1901 census as being from bearstone and my father who is 76 remembers his uncles james arther and samuel rol who were the samuel from 1891 census sons..
but i would love to find out if their was any brothers of samuel and what happened to william his son from his first wife.. he later married anne salmon and had james arther and samuel rol.. then john my grandad in 1906.
thank you for your help..
my search is also in the cheshire section.
Paul..

Hi - was just browsing and found these Morrey messages and wonder if there are any links -  I am researching Morrey relatives in Madeley Staffs
Have a Charles Morrey aged 39 in 1871 census married to Sarah Morrey 36 with children Ann (my ggrandmother)9, Charles 11 months,John 7,
Joseph3,Mary 14,Sarah A 12 and Thomas 16
Just curious as this is a new string to my research and Morrey seems to be an unusual surname
