Oh Sandy, thank you so,so much.  So it's as they say, don't believe all that is written (re submitter).
I will endeavour to get my head around all this now.  If I need help trying to locate John Morris birth registration and now also William Morris, where do I go??  I have also found on the internet that a resident from the Macleay River (New South Wales) is looking for family of Jesse Morris (son of George) who came to Australia in around 1850 and became one of the noted people of this place.  Macleay River is about three and a half hours east of where I live.  Once again thank you.  Joanne
P.S.  If I can do it, as I have the list the Morris Clan from John Morris down, I would like to give it to the Northants history house if they would like it.  It would be about 10generations.

Hi Sandy,
Again many thanks for that.  It must be interesting to delve and look into people of the past and what they did and where they lived.  I love history and just to be able to go back and find where I came from  is interesting.  My late Grandmother left me her photo album and in it were photos of my Great grandmother and some photos of my Grandfather and his siblings from England dating back to the late 1800's., also some wedding photos which I have been able to work out who they were.   I suppose I'm very lucky to have this and it was this that started me thinking of where I came from.
Again, thanks so much for your help.
Joanne

Hi again Sandy,
I would dearly love for you to look up the Raunds and Chelveston records to see if John is on them for a Baptism.
