Hi

I am looking for any information regarding Rebecca Sarah Sheirtclif b 1831(?) died 1899 She married John Morris in 1859 in Qtr 1 Greenwich 1d 701. I beleive they had a son Frank possibly in 1866. Frank only appears on the 1881 census with his Uncle George Grover (B 1825 in Odiham, Hampshire) Can anyone find this family, John Morris, wife Rebecca, and son Frank on a census?

Rebecca went on to marry George Grover in 1895, she being his third wife. His previous wives being her sister's Ursula 1826 -1873 married 1843, Abigail 1821-1895 married 1874

Many thanks

Brian

Ancestry is down at the moment but I will have a look on censuses when I can.

According to the marriage cert Rebecca Sarah Sheirtcliff [mistranscribed as Shircliff] married John Morris 20 March 1859 at St. Alphege Greenwich. Both of full age. John was a shoemaker living in Shelton Street, father John Morris, a baker.

Rebecca was living in Stockerell Street and her father was Thomas Sheirtcliff, a leather dresser.

Witnesses were Ursula Grover and Thomas Sheirtcliff.

1851

51 Walcot Place, Lambeth, Surrey

Rebecca S Shenteleff [sic] 23 abt 1828 Bermondsey, Surrey, domestic servant

[head of household Robert Smith, overbuilder]

actual image looks like Shentcliff but this is the nearest match and the birthplace and year match later censuses.

Can't see her in 1841, sorry.

A thousand thanks Helen and Welshlady. I had looked but could not see!!! (I was looking for John Morris with wife Rebecca - the different approach helps!) Again many thanks
