[rmorris110941]

I  am looking for the family of Jacob Morris. Born in 1808 , Regisdtration district Morpeth, Sub-district Bedlington. His fathers was Thomas Morris 1873 In lancanshire. Thomas's father's Fathers name was James Morris, a coal-miner. Don't know his birth date of birth place. I have a baby book that lists Thomas mother as Hanna. Have been trying for a year to find more information traceing this side of my family but having no luck. I have records for Thomas and Margarer after the arrive ing the US but need help I England.

Jacob Morris born 1908, registered Morpeth

In the free 1911 index there is Jacob Morris age 3 living in Bedlington with Margaret Morris age 31, Mary age 9 and James age 5.

1901 census has Margaret Morris age 21 with husband Thomas Morris age 28 and daughter Susannah Morris age 2 at Bedlington. They are living with what could be Margaret’s sister Catherine and her husband Jacob Miller. It says Thomas Morris was born Bedlington.

So Thomas Morris was born 1872/73 in Bedlington. You should be able to trace him back from there using the census and the birth registrations.

There seem to be three threads going so far so I am going to lock this one to avoid further duplication.
