COURT/MORRIS Family

[wakokid]

I've hit a bit of a brick wall and would appreciate any help.  I am investigating my brother-in-law's family, surname COURT.

His Grandfather, George Court (b c 1870 Wookey, Somerset) married a Sarah Jane Morris on 16th October 1894 in Bridgend where their residence is noted as 26 Marian Street, Blaengarw.

His father, Charles was born in Summerfield Hall Farm, Maesycwmmer in 1908, as I believe were Charles' two sisters and brother, Annie Maud(1906), Harold (1912) and Edith M (1914).

My interest is in tracing Sarah Jane Morris backwards as the only one I have matched so far does not seem correct.  Sarah Jane's father is noted as Thomas William Morris on the marriage certificate.

I can't find them on the 1901 census.

The 1901 has them mis-transcribed as LOUIT and George's birthplace is Blead??Somerset

They are with Sarah's parents who are mis-transcribed as MARRIS and living in Penrhiwceiber Glamorgan
