If anyone has info on William Morton 1770 and his wife "Flora" 1770 I would be grateful. They are the parents of William 1796. He had a brother John 1799.

Hi Maggie,
Just do what I do when trying to help others.

1)Check FreeBMD for possible Marriage for the Girls.
The check for the possible Spouses on the 1851 Census and see if their Wives match the Girls POB/DOB
2) Check Familysearch for possible Marriages.
3) Check FreeREG

Was Ann c 1826 born In Leics?

1851 in Nottinghamshire we have;
Ann Morton, 34, Head, Unm*, Shoebinder, born Leicestershire
Ellen Morton, 8, Daug, born Sneinton, Nottinghamshire
James Morton, 6, Son, born Nottinghamshire

Looks like Ellen was Reg as Ellen Wilkinson Morton 1843

1861 Census
Nottimgham, Nottinghamshire
Ann Morton, 44, Head, Mar,
Catherine*** Morton, 64, Mother
Ellen Morton, 17, Daug
James C Morton, 15, Son

FreeREG has a JAMES WILKINSON Morton Bapt 28 March 1842, St Mary, Nottingham
Mother ANN Morton
Abode Union St
(may have died as doesnt appear 1851 Census)

1871 Census
Calerine Morton, 77, Head, Widow
Wenfina LANE*, 70 (hard to make out but down as Mother!)
Ann Marton, 54, Daug, Unm

1881 Census
Ann Morton, 64
Jaes Morton, 35, Son
Elizabeth Morton, 32, Daug in Law
Olive Morton, 8
Percy Morton,7

1841 we have;
Catherine Morton, 45
Ann Morton, 15


So if right Family it appears Ann did not marry

[trish1120]

FreeBMD has a Ellen Morton Marriage 1841;

1841 in Nottingham we have;
Wm Smith, 20, Coalman
Ellen Smith, 20

Using ne GRO Index we have;
SMITH, MARIA, Mothers mn MORTON**
GRO Reference: 1843  D Quarter in NOTTINGHAM  Volume 15  Page 594

Cant find them on 1851 Census though.


EDIT a Tree has William/Ellen Smith having Children;
Mary 1841
Maria 1844
John 1847

They also say Ellen died 1848 and there is a Death Reg;
SMITH, ELLEN, age 27***
GRO Reference: 1848  D Quarter in NOTTINGHAM  Volume 15  Page 405

You would nee the M/C to establish if this is your Ellen though.
