West Bromwich Birth/Marriage Look Up request
« on: Monday 27 November 17 12:14 GMT (UK) »
Hi,

I have returned with a look up hoping that maybe new eyes/available records might be able to help with my query that has baffled me for years.
It's a bit of a puzzle, I would love it if someone could finally solve it.

I cannot go back any further that my great grandparents as I have been unable to find out their marriage or either of them on a census prior to 1871.
This is what I have so far -
Marriage - Henry Morris & Sarah Ann? - I can only find marriage record for Sarah Ann Harborn, all parish/birth certs list mother as Crowther
Census-
1871 - Victoria Street West Bromwich
1881 - 42 Moor St West Bromwich
1891 - 6 Oak Lane back house West Bromwich
1901 - Henry Morris West Bromwich union workhouse

1892 - Sarah Ann Morris died - 6 Oak Lane
1904 - Henry Morris died - West Bromwich union workhouse

Henry Morris and Sarah Ann? had 7 children (taken from census) -
Sarah Ann b approx 1872 - can't find birth or parish record -
Harriett b 1875, christening 1875 Lyttleton St- mother Crowther
Elizabeth b 1877, christening Hall St - mother Crowther
Henry b 1879,
William b 1884 11 Virgins End, christening Reform St - mother Crowther
Frederick b 1887 98 Richard St South, mother Crowther
Edith Ellen b 1890

Thank you for looking.

It looks like mother Harriet (nee RICHARDS?) died in 1854-before Sarah Ann was baptised.

Just to put me out of my misery,can anyone spot the Richard and Emma CROWTHER who were enumerated just before the MORRIS family in 1871 on the 1861 census??

Finally I am beginning to piece this together.
Just need to find where Sarah Harborne and Henry Morris were on the 1851 census.
