Hi everyone from a new lister. Does anyone have knowledge of a Whatkin MORRIS in the 1841 census/ Both Ancestry and FindmyPast have him indexed as aged 25, living in High Wycombe. There are other MORRIS families in the index for this location, but I don't know if he is living in the same household as any others. I have been researching Watkin MORRIS, born 1813 in Crickhowell Beaconshire, Wales. I now have him in 1851,1861,1871,1881 census in Middlesex, where he worked as a builder. However, I can't find him in 1841, and this record sees to be the most hopeful in all England and Wales [the name Whatkin does not turn up again in the records]. I would be very grateful for any suggestions! Barbara in Adelaide -- No virus found in this outgoing message. Checked by AVG. Version: 7.5.467 / Virus Database: 269.6.2/787 - Release Date: 3/05/2007

He's living with Ann (age 25), Edwin (age 2) and Miriam (age 2 weeks). Occupation looks like Chain Maker. Relationships aren't given in the '41 as you probably know. The indicators are that this is a family unit, though. However, if your man was born in Wales, the one you've found may not be him. The Whatkin MORRIS in High Wycombe is listed as born in county. That is, born in Buckinghamshire, England, not Wales. -- Regards _ / ) "The blindingly obvious is / _)rad never immediately apparent" The public wants what the public gets Going Underground - The Jam

I think that should be Chair maker. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brad Rogers" <brad@fineby.me.uk> To: <eng-buckinghamshire@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 08, 2007 8:22 AM Subject: Re: [ENG-Buck] MORRIS in 1841 > On Tue, 08 May 2007 16:28:54 +0930 > Barbara Randell <brandell@chariot.net.au> wrote: > > Hello Barbara, > >> Does anyone have knowledge of a Whatkin MORRIS in the 1841 census/ >> Both Ancestry and FindmyPast have him indexed as aged 25, living in >> High Wycombe.

Hello Barbara, The Whatkin Morris that you found in Bucks in 1841 is still there in 1851. He was married to Ann, with children Edwin and Miriam. He worked as a chain maker and was born in West Wycombe. There is a Watkin Morris in Llan Bedr in 1841 with Gwenllian Morris, (aged 80). This Watkin was born c1801 and worked as a Miller. In 1851, your Watkin appears to be with a younger brother William? If this is correct then in 1841 they are both in St Marylebone, Middlesex. Watkin has been transcribed as Walkin. He is 25, a mason, William is a carpenter. I can send you the details if this is correct.
