Hello PaulineJ

Edward W Morris, 1891 - 1931. mrd 1917,  Edith Elizabeth Minnie Bonny, 1896 - 1938
I appears on their Mrg Vertificate that Edward was a Widower. Possible first wife Anne How/e?
Mrd 1910 known as Annie. whom they had a daughter Violet Ann born 1912, and possibly a Son William S Morris.

His father was Sergent Whitton Morris 1863 - 1931
His Mother was Jessie Pilgrim 1868 - 1903
They had 6 children Edward, Arthur, Jessie, Beatrice & two sons named Sergent but both died within a year of their birth. 1899 & 1902.

i would also like to know if there are any direct descendant of Edward & Edith, as their Grand daughter, Yvonne never knew them as her mother died when she was 18months.

Thank you for your input.

William's mother was Mary Southall. His elder brother was born to Hannah Maria Webb née Oakley she died in the year of 1858, when John was 3 years old. William married Mary in 1859.


We know that his younger brother Thomas Webb, travelled out to Australia to visit John and look for work, but we could not understand why he came back via New York, unless he was visiting William, so this quest is really a shot in the dark.

I am a direct descendant of the above Thomas Webb.
And it looks as though you have read my ancestry chart.

Is it possible to enhance a copy of a newspaper photo of my great Uncle Thomas who died in Flanders.

Maggsie,

Thankyou for your reply, and in answer to your question about location I do not live in OZ, in fact I live in the Southwest of England.
I am a direct descendant of William Webb born 1827, his second wife was Mary Southall, whome he married in 1859, 4 years after John Webb born 1855, we believe that Hannah Maria Oakley was his mother she died in 1858.

We know that John Emigrated to OZ around 1895.

His nephew Thomas Webb went out to OZ in 1909/10 and returned via new York in 1912, to have a "look around" whether he visited John we do not know.


You can send the post over if you wish, if it is the same John Webb, it will add a new dimension to our tree.

regards
Martyn

As the subject heading suggests I am trying to research into when and how my grt Grandparents Thomas & Susannah Webb,  lived and worked at the above site.

I have been told there is a booklet out there somewhere called "Monckton it's Origins & History," by P A Thorpe. 
I have tried our local library here in Devon, even looked on Amazon & ebay, with no luck whatsoever, is there anyone out there who can help???
