I believe that the Charles Morris you refer to is Charles Young MORRIS (1856) Atherfield (or Brook ) son of Henry MORRIS and Frances Jane YOUNG of Mottistone. Frances b. Brightstone. Charles m. Elizabeth PITMAN and his brother Leonard married Elizabeth's sister Mary Ann. Daughters of William and Harriet PITMAN (cousins) of Hampstead/Shalfleet. Charles is my wife's Great Grandfather. The families moved to Compton Cottages (1881) and then in to Freshwater at Middleton also living at Sheepwash Farm in 1890 where grandmother Kate MORRIS was born.

Hello David, I have come across this confusion before and for what it is worth I think you are right. However these records .... Baptised Elizabeth Jane MORRIS the Daughter of Henry MORRIS and Jane MORRIS 14/09/ 1856 Shorwell Labourer of Little Dungewood Shorwell Baptised Charles Young MORRIS son of Henry MORRIS and Jane MORRIS 14/09/ 1856 Shorwell Labourer of Little Dungewood Shorwell Are both transcribed by me from the card index at the Isle of Wight Records office. I think I will have to go down eventually and dig the parish register out to confirm it! -----Original Message----- From: isle-of-wight-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:isle-of-wight-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of DAVID THOMAS Sent: 24 January 2010 15:43 To: ISLE-OF-WIGHT-L@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [IoW] MORRIS FAMILY I believe that the Charles Morris you refer to is Charles Young MORRIS (1856) Atherfield (or Brook ) son of Henry MORRIS and Frances Jane YOUNG of Mottistone.

Hi Ian Eizabeth Jane shows up on the IOWFHS Births as Jane I think. There was an older brother Geoorge Henry YOUNG (1849)who was born before parents married and then my records show Elizabeth Jane (1853) then Charles and Leonard followed by Rose (1862) Herbert (1866) and Fanny (1869). Elizabeth is there on the 1861 census aged 8 but has gone by 1871. I have noticed multiple baptisms in the family so to baptise Elizabeth age 3 at the same time as her younger brother is not unusual. 1861 records Elizabeth as being born in Carisbrook other childen being born in Chale, Shorwell and Fanny in Ryde so they obviosly moved about a bit.
