Hi John & others, As I said in an off line email to you that my great-grandfather was William Morris Mordey who was born in Sunderland, b28 Mar 1856;died 01 Jul 1938. He married Hannah Smith in 1882 but kept my great-grandmother as a mistress and put his name to my grandmother's birth certificate! At the time my grandmother was born it is stated on the birth certificate that both parties are living at the same address? However when you check the census it clearly gives both Hannah and William at the same address in the Greater London area. So any further information about the Mordey family would be interesting, I do have two more generations back from William; John Goodchild Mordey was William M Mordey's father and his mother was Mary Stephenson - John's father was 'William Mordey' and that is about as far as I can go! William Morris Mordey had an older brother, Robert Stephenson Mordey, I have a few notes about the Stephenson family. I do however, have several generations of Goodchild's from a very kind researcher who shared his files with me of over 8000+ names! I hope that sheds a little light on my Sunderland/Durham research and I would be very happy to share any if it with any of you:-) Kind Regards, Susan _http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/k/e/n/Susan-J-Kennedy-Lanarkshire/ index.html_ (http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/k/e/n/Susan-J-Kennedy-Lanarkshire/index.html)
