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..

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

Thankyou Cliff!
That is brilliant especially the bit about the murder!!!
Where could I find further info on that?
My ggrandmother Ann (Annie) Morrey married Samuel Clarke having already had a child Emily several years before, this child was subsequently referred to as Emily Clarke although it was known in the family that she was officially a Morrey. my Nana was the daughter of Annie and Samuel and was also named Annie . I have a copy of the marriage cert of Annie and Samuel listing her father as Charles and the census of 1891 and 1901 in Stockport where she moved confirm through the same age and place of birth. but really need to track down Annie's birth records to double check that the 1871 Madeley family are definitely the same. I am already pretty sure because Annie's father, age and birthplace tally but I'd like to check.
How do the Madeley Morrey's relate to you?

Hi Debbie, Good show. Could you list the date and place of Anns marriage to Samuel Clarke. The book about the Morrey murder 1812 at Hankelow Cheshire is called ROPEDANCE by Maureen Nield 83 pages should be available from Chester Library about £6. Its sponsored by Cheshire Council published 1993.
I am not related (although of course one never really knows) to your Morrey clan but I am interested in all Morrey as I have arrived at a brickwall with my Oxfordshire group.
All the best, Cliff

Hi Paul, I note there is a James Arthur Morrey marrying Chaddock at Congleton June quarter 1915 and can you confirm if Samuel Rol was Samuel Rawlinson Morrey. Cliff
-
Hi Cliff
Marriage solemnised at parish church of Cheadle (Cheadle Stockport area) entry no 125 -Feb 21 1886 Samuel Clarke 21 Bachelor - occupation Carter, residing Cheadle Heath ,father Samuel Clarke also a carter.
Annie Morray 23 spinster residing Cheadle heath , father Charles Morray Labourer.
( I have checked and checked but can't find Morrays to fit this and census information I have giving Annie's birthplace but the Morreys do! so therefore pretty certain it's a spelling anomaly)
Both signed the register
witnesses were James Espley and Alice Amelia Kennedy
married after banns by F A Macdonald rector
am happy to e mail copy if you wish.
Will also be tracking down Emily Morrey's birth cert if I can and try to find out some circumstances of her birth in Crewe
Have tracked down Morrey murder stuff very ghoulish !!
