JOHN MORGAN AND DAMARIS MORSE (General)

by jerigby , Sunday, May 12, 2013, 21:33 (4287 days ago) @ slowhands

John Morgan born 1815 West Dean married Damaris Morse at Awre on 21 November 1836. Damaris Morse was born 1818 daughter of John Morse and Damaris Bailey.

1841 Census

John MORGAN 25 Head Collier
Damaris MORGAN 20 Wife
Mary MORGAN 5 Daughter
James MORGAN 8 months son

1851 Census at Yorkley

John MORGAN 37 head Coalminer
Damaris MORGAN 38 wife
William MORGAN 87 son

1861 Census not found

1871 Census at Yorkley

John MORGAN 57 Head Coalminer
Damaris MORGAN 53 Wife
William MORGAN 28 Son Iron Miner (Unmarried)
Elizabeth POWELL 10 Granddaughter

1881 Census at Yorkley

John MORGAN 66 Head Coalminer
Damaris MORGAN 63 Wife

1891 Census at Pillowell

Damaris Morgan 83 Head Widow

1901 Census at Pillowell

Damaris MORGAN 83 Widow living on own means

Damaris died in 1901.

In the 1871 census Elizabeth Powell is classed as a grandaughter. The mother is likely to be Mary married to a Powell but I cannot find Mary after 1841 and no marriage to a Powell. Also son James doesn't appear after 1841 and William after 1871. I have searched the FOD Parish Records but can't find any possible burials. Also no record of John Morgan's death after 1881.

Any help would be appreciated.
