Welcome to this weeks Scavenger Hunt and this week it's PrueM's turn. As you'll notice, Prue already has her people in all the census, so at least it saves on some searches. I do believe you'll find this one very interesting.
Good Luck and Good Hunting.

***********************
I would like help tracing the parents and origins of my 3xg-grandparents, Joseph INGRAM and Caroline MORRISH. All the pertinent information I have (I think!) is below, except to say that I do have them and their children on every census - but if you have a question, just ask, I may have the info hidden in the back of my brain somewhere but not written it down.
Here is the information from my family tree:
Joseph Henry INGRAM. Born in Woodlands, Dorset, on 2 Apr 1811.
He was christened in Poole Wesleyan Chapel, Dorset, on 29 Apr 1811.
Joseph Henry died in Camberwell, on 12 May 1881; he was 70.
Cause of death: Cancer Of The Face, 2 Yrs 6 Months; Exhaustion.
He was buried in Camberwell Old Cemetery, on 21 May 1881.
Occupation: 1847 - Clerical And Scholastic Agent; 1853 -Teacher Of Languages; 1857 - Professor of Languages; etc.
Abt 1835 when Joseph Henry was 23, he married Caroline MORRISH, daughter of William MORRISH & Caroline CANNON. Born on 23 Mar 1811.
She was christened in St Luke Old Street, Finsbury, London, on 24 Nov 1812.
Caroline died in 2 Oxford Villas, 32 Linden Grove, Camberwell (Nunhead), on 7 Oct 1884; she was 73.
She was buried in Camberwell Old Cemetery, on 14 Oct 1884.
Cause of death: Ague, 15 Years; Debility.
They had the following children:
Caroline Mathilda, 1835, Morlaix, France
Emilie Lucy, 1837, Morlaix, France
Matilda, abt 1839, France
Caroline Josephine, abt 1842, France
George, abt 1845, France
Josephine, abt 1846, France
Joseph Herbert Henry, 1847, Islington
Alfred, abt 1850, Twickenham
Augustus, abt 1852, Hounslow
Edward Charles, 1853, Heston
Arthur, abt 1855, Hounslow
Assumptions:
Joseph Henry INGRAM is the son of George INGRAM and Ann ANDREWS, who married on 6 Dec 1808 in Horton with Woodlands, Dorset. They had a son called Joseph baptised at Poole Wesleyan Chapel in 1811.
Caroline MORRISH is the daughter of William MORRISH and Caroline CANNON - they had a daughter born in 1811, christened in Finsbury, London in 1812.
Joseph and Caroline married in France.
Things to bear in mind:
Joseph gives his birthplace as "Woodlands, Dorset" in 1851 and 1861, and thereafter as "Bath, Somerset". His brother, Samuel Frederick, states he was born in Bath. No record found of his birth/baptism.
Caroline MORRISH consistently gives her birthplace as "Chelsea, Middlesex".
Family stories say the family were Catholic...no real evidence for that though.
We have a photographic copy of an old engraving showing someone supposedly connected to the INGRAM family - it has "Sidney George ingram" written on the back, but no trace of such a person has yet been found. He bears a striking resemblance to a photograph we have of Joseph Ingram, so could it be his father or another brother we don't know about?
Any help would be worshipfully received!!!
