Many thanks slow hands. I hadn't seen the 1871 Census return or "Ester Ann's" baptismal record before. The Census return is obviously full of errors. Do you think that ANN MORGAN is in fact ELIZA ANN as the ELIZA named is obviously Esther Morgan?

In 1876 Eliza Ann married William Morgan, the oldest son of William Morgan (preacher) and Tryphena. They subsequently moved to South Yorkshire and later to Co.Durham. William's name, I believe, appears on Hester Morgan's marriage certificate where he claims to be her father and in 1901 he registers her husband Thomas Keddie's death as "father in law" living in Stanley and working as a miner.

When "Ester Ann" was born William was married to "Fanny". Her children were William and Edith. An Edith Morgan appears as a witness Hester's marriage. Could you help me to find out anything about these people?

Thanks again.
