Do you know when he married or who he married or occupation?

Found this one but still looking:

Marriages Mar Qtr 1909
MORRIS Thomas Chester 8a 599
ROBINSON Sarah Ann Chester 8a 599

1911 says married 3 years and daughter born Mansfield Woodhouse so may not be that marriage.

Ok, this is it:

Marriages Mar Qtr 1908
CROWE Sarah Mansfield 7b 115
MORRIS Tom Mansfield 7b 115

With your help i got them on the free 1911 now and saved it :biggrin: Thanks.

 

[DaveHam9]

I hope you got the image too.

I suppose you want his arrival in Australia now.

 

[gibbo]

Yep got the images:biggrin:

I cant find any kids births for them after 1911 on the free bmd.

Maybe i should now put a thread in the other forum :2fun::2fun:
Will be interesting to see if they did infact come here.

 

[DaveHam9]

Sarah Ann MORRIS in E/R in Qld, Vic, NSW and WA.

Don't know if she used her middle name in E/R and don't know if it's Tom or Thomas.

 

[gibbo]

Thanks Dave. I put a new thread in the travel and migration forum.

 

[DaveHam9]

A tree says he died in 1978 in Nottinghamshire but I can't see it 1977-1979.

3 sons, 5 daughters

The Morris births in Mansfield have mother's name = CROW but the names of those children don't match the names of the children in the tree. ??? Except for Cyril b. 1917.

 

[DaveHam9]

There is Dorothy:

Births Mar Qtr 1909
MORRIS Dorothy Mansfield 7b 76

The other tree has no marriage and no death.

 

[DaveHam9]

Births Sep Qtr 1888
CROW Sarah Ann Ulverston 8e 791

 

[gibbo]

I have to go to Townsville in the morning so i'll have another look at it when i get home.

 

[DaveHam9]

Ok. I'm off now. You probably had this:

Marriages Jun Qtr 1885
MORRIS Tom Chesterfield 7b 1075
Stephenson Alice Chesterfield 7b 1075
