Hi Julie, Welcome to the list. I am not sure what you already have but after a quick look at the material I have I can see the Pring family on the 1891 census index. Do you have that material??? I can send it later if you want it. You need to obtain the marriage certificate of the Pring - Morton marriage to allow you to follow the name Morton back which is a very common Sheffield name so you might have a little problem searching for her. FreeBMD's is an ideal way to start. From the 1891 census index.
