Hello lovely people !
I am stuck on finding the pre marriage life of my ancestor James Morris born abt 1848 - Manchester, Lancashire.
He worked as an iron turner, engine maker, engine fitter, mechanic in wire works, fitter turner - in that order on the census data I have.
He married Harriet Green (b 1851) on the 4 July 1868 in Manchester. I have all of the details of his life from his marriage onwards. But nothing pre-marriage.
On the marriage certificate it says his father was John Morris, a warehouseman.
James year of birth on the marriage certificate is 1848.
His death registration year of birth is also 1848.
Census data from 1871 to 1911 have his year of birth as - 1849, 1851, 1848, 1850, 1848.
So it looks like it's most likely 1848.
Please can anyone help me ? Thank you !
PS: I have his profile at ancestry:
