Morris/Edmunds family in Hereford
« on: Wednesday 01 March 23 16:32 GMT (UK) »
Hello
I am searching the above family for more information.
The parents are Susan Morris and Samuel Edmunds/Edmunds. I have census for 1841 to 1881.
Both parents were born around 1817/1818 and some of the family lived at some time in Turks alley, green street or  St Owen Street. Children seem to have been born between 1839 and 1863 which seems to be a long period of time. I am wondering if I may have got two families mixed up. Mother’s maiden name is Morris.

In 1871 census, son Richard Valentine is born in 1863  (mothers maiden name Morris). His brother Thomas born in 1861 appears to have mothers maiden name as Williams according to GRO. There is another Thomas born in 1845 with mother’s maiden name as Morris. He is on the1851 census.

(Ann) Elizabeth Edmunds I believe is born in 1849 according to GRO. In 1881 Elizabeth Edmunds is head of house and has children. No mention of a husband. My interest is in her son Harry born 1878 who later in life appears to have married a Lily Harford and lived in Gloucester.

Elizabeth’s daughter Susan appears to have the surname Powell in her name and wondered if anyone could find out any definite information about Elizabeth Edmunds/Edmonds.

In 1851 Susan’s brother James is living with them. He is a shoemaker born in 1823

Thanks for any help in confirming if same family, the name Powell, or anything else

Gill

Children of Samuel and Susan Edmonds/Edmunds- all registered Hereford and Dore

Mary Ann 1838
Samuel 1842 died 1843
Susan Maria 1844
Thomas 1846
Emily 1848
Ann Elizabeth 1849
Samuel 1851
Julia 1856 died 1857
---------

In 1861 they have a James 6 and Charles H 2 listed as children but no corresponding registration
(that I have found)
There is a James Edmonds 1855 with no mother's maiden name.
Charles H Powell  (not Edmonds) with mmn Morris  - which would be her mothers maiden name
and not the mothers name of Edmonds.

They appear to be the sons of daughter Mary Ann.

1871 census Mary Ann 36 single is living next door to Samuel and Susan with her daughter Alice
registered as Alice Edmonds 1863 with no mmn.- illegitimate
-----------------
**Richard Valentine Edmonds 1863 was baptized as Valentine 12 October 1863 as a son of Samuel and Susan
