I am trying to do some research on H S Morris as our St Ives Archive has been donated some of his photographs.

This is the man in the 1901 census

St Ives, Cornwall
Herbert S Morris Boarder 25 Mining Engineer b Manchester

and his birth registration

Births Dec 1875   
Morris  Herbert Sinclair    Salford  8d 2

I have tried to trace him back through the censuses but have been hampered by my poor knowledge of the Manchester area.  I have set out below, what I have found and would be grateful if someone could check through my findings.

I am not sure of the second initial for Fanny, Herbert's mother. I have also not been able to find her on the 1871 or 1901 census.  Her husband, Henry is missing from 1881.  Neither have I found a marriage for Henry and Fanny.  I am still looking 

Thanks in advance.

I have recently bought a  copy of the books called "The Lewin Letters."  They relate to the Lewin family which was based in the Eltham area of Kent from about 1800 but spread to London, Devon, Hampshire and Sussex.
Many members of the family were in the East India Company.
I am happy to do look ups.

Hello Rootschatters

I have recently become a volunteer at the St Ives Archives and am starting a project to research St Ives people who emigrated to the US.  I hope to use some of the information at our open day which is planned for September.
I am currently going through passenger lists and trying to trace people through the censuses.
Does anyone have ancestors from St Ives who would be willing to share their family information?
This is a link to our website, so that you can see what we do.

Hoping to hear from you.

Could somebody please double check the death references for 2 of my Lewin family.  The images on the full indexes are not entirely clear.

They are
Lancelot Lewin JuneQ 1960
and
Hendrina Aletta Lewin MarQ 1855

The latter death is on FreeBMD but I am not sure that the transcription is correct

Thanks in advance.

The IGI has a baptism as follows

HANNAH HEDDINGTON 
 
 Birth:  17 DEC 1821   
 
 Christening:  24 DEC 1821   Saint Mary, Bury Saint Edmunds, Suffolk, England

Father  RICHARD HEDDINGTON 
Mother AMY ALBON 


Is anyone able to confirm this for me in the PRs and to give me  any other information recorded..  I am particularly keen to know the occupation of father Richard.

I am sure this is a London family so I am also intrigued as to what they were doing in Suffolk.
