MORRIS family - Stevington - Help please !
« on: Monday 18 April 22 14:39 BST (UK) »
I know it's a long shot, but are there any PR's for Stevington, that go back before 1550 ?  I have a Robert MORRIS b.c.1550. He had a son William MORRIS (Husbandman) who was born in 1575 & who died in 1641, and he married Ann (who was born in 1569).  I'm just wondering if Robert came from somewhere else or was, in fact, a native of Stevington. Many thanks !

However they only start around 1603.

Thank anyway JohnP, - I knew it was a long shot because in 1550 England had just gone through the turbulent years of Reformation, and many church records would have either been destroyed or just lost. Shame !
