[CaroleW]

Removed - wrong census details

[CaroleW]

A tree on Ancestry shows her parents as Stephen Matthews b 1806 Bitton Gloucs died 1886   & Matilda Mary Cranfield b 1815 Middlesex died 1895

She is on the 1891 census with her brother Charles & his wife Amelia.   Birthyear 1857!!

Dec qtr 1856 - Clara Mary Matthews Chelsea 1a 132 - mmn was Cranfield

1891

That could be a possibility!  :-D

In 1871 she is aged 14 b Chelsea & shown as sister in law to Henry W Lockyer & wife Helen Elizabeth nee Matthews (married 1867).  Marriage cert shows father Stephen occ wood carver

If you order the 1896 marriage cert from the GRO - total cost is £11 which includes all postage costs

That's better.  I was looking at the Chelsea Registers Office and it was another £27 for international delivery.

If the cert shows her father as Stephen - she lied about her birthyear as William Morris was only born 1869

Just for info. Clara Mary Morris was living in Norwood in the very latest census with William Cooke Morris. I question the opening post with Clara dying in Warwickshire. There is a death as below
