As far as I can tell Joseph does not appear in either the 1842 or 1868 Directory for Newnham.

Newnham was an important centre with at least one Leather tannery ( Underhill Tan house ) he may have been a small scale shoe maker selling his output at Market rather than with a shop.

Oak Place is near Nailyard in the North West quarter of Newnham,

Hi all,

I am looking into my Great Grandmother Harriet Morris. She lived at Oakplace, and Passage Lane, Newnham.
Her Father was Joseph Morris also born in Newnham. He was a Cordwainer. I am wondering if he might have owned his own shop in Newnham. It seems his sisters and mother were either shoe binders or dressmakers. Is there anyway of finding out?
Joseph's wife was Ann Evans, born I think in Llunduno.

Any info really appreciated.

Barbara
