Morton/Murton

The same enquiry posted here http://www.rootschat.com/forum/index.php?topic=778678.msg6326530#msg6326530

Perhaps better to have all the answers on that thread? It's not a good idea to have two running simultaneously

Hello I was wondering if you would be able to help me, on another post you had a stab at a family tree for James Morton, you thought that James Morton's father was also a James Morton. I have just received the marriage certificate of James Morton and Margaret Jane Hudson nee gibson and it states that James Morton's father was a William Morton who was a farmer. Just wondered if you have any william Morton's with occupation farmer in your research? James Morton dob would have been 1887. Thank you

Hi,

Can you tell me precisely what is entered on the birth certificate (everything).

It would be better if you could send me a scan.

I do not have a birth certificate for James Morton as I don't know which one to order think their are quite a few James Morton's and the index only shows father's last name not first so don't know which James Morton came from a farmer william morton. I do have Doris Morton's birth certificate (James's daughter) and I have the marriage certificate between James and Margaret. I would happily send you scans of those.

Sorry, I meant the marriage certificate.

Doh!

Every time I try to attach it is says file too big? Any ideas?

[andygmandrew]

I’ve sent you my email address in a personal message. You should be able to send it there.

Hopefully andygmandrew will be able to help you.

I was going to ask you the following

What was James’ address and occupation on m/cert. - might help you find him on 1911 census which would hopefully give you his pob and then you could look for him on 1901/1891 with his
father William

Were any of the witnesses related to James?
