If anyone is able to look up the birth of Jane Morris in 1843-44 in Basford it would be very greatly appreciated. Her father is listed as Thomas Morris a miller on her marriage certificate but I can not find any registry listing for her so I thought parish records may be the place to turn. There is a Jane Morris listed but when i ordered the birth certificate it said father was a coal dealer master something. I have found this Thomas in later census returns and he is still a coal dealer. Thanks in advance Julia in Canada
Hello Julia, Some of the Basford Parish Register info has been transcribed by FreeREG, but the index doesn't show what dates have been done. I couldn't locate your Jane MORRIS. There are other children in the family who have been transcribed though - Children baptised at St Leodegarius-Basford, with parents Thomas and Elizabeth MORRIS - 3 September 1828, Mary Ann Morris (father a schoolmaster) 3 January 1830, Sophia Morris (father a miller) 9 January 1831, Mary Matilda Morris (miller) 12 February 1832, Eliza Morris (miller) 30 June 1833, Thomas James Morris (miller) 7 July 1836, Elizabeth Ann Morris (miller) On the IGI there are these children for this couple who were baptised at Basford - 28 November 1819, John Smith Morris (parents: Thomas and Mary Morris - previous marriage maybe?) 3 September 1828, Mary Ann Morris 3 January 1830, Sophia Morris 9 January 1831, Mary Matilda Morris Sorry I couldn't help further, but with luck FreeREG will continue their wonderful work and you will find a baptism for Jane MORRIS.
