Subject: REA, MORRIS Joan Hall wrote: Before I give up I thought I would give it one last try. I am looking for anyone connected with REA in the early 1800s. I have found a family that I think is correct Alfred son of James REA baptised 1821. I am now looking for the marriage of James and I hope someone else is researching this family as they seemed to get about a bit and Alfred ended up in Manchester. Alfred married Elizabeth MORRIS in Birmingham but I think she too came from Worcester or close by. She was born in 1838 and her father was John MORRIS a publican in 1859. I have the following, and this loolks like it may be a match. This James is my great-grandfather Edward REA's older brother. I have information on James' parents and grandparents, plus information from Edward down to present. Would love to make contact with you. James Rea, b. Sep 25 1823, Dewsbury Yorkshire England.
