johnm Posted January 16, 2009 Share Posted January 16, 2009 Hi Dave I have a Morris family in Grimesthorpe around the turn of the century ( the last one that is!) Hi Dave, My mum was Morris and lived at 43 Rothay Rd , Grimesthorpe. My gt grandad was John Morris who was born in Bingham Notts in 1845 and together with his twin borther James, moved to Sheffield in the 1860's. He married Fanny Mosley and had children Mary, Charles and William (my grandad born 1884). Charles Morris married Beatrice Davis and had children Stanley & Eileen. William married Lilian Bellamy, children were Marjorie ( my mum ) and Kenneth. James Morris married Mary jane Hall and children were Albert, Arthur and Anthony - they lived Sharrow Vale. Sheffield Both John and James were Wesleyan Reform Church local preachers and James was ordained abt 1890. Any names ring a bell? John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
