Hello - Im trying to find out more about my great-grandmother Harriet (or Harriett). I already know that she was born in Wymondham, Norfolk 1877/8. Her mother was Hannah and her father George Wells. Siblings: John, Frederic, Elizabeth, Martha Ann, Emma H, Eliza Ann, William and Phyllis.

She was a domestic servant when she had my grandfather Leslie Norman Wells in 1899 (she was unmarried) also in Wymondham (He married Minnie Jannetta Tew in 1919 in Cardiff, S.Wales). What I'd like to find out more about is her marriage to an Alexander Morrison.

Think I've found her death: 4 April 1932, also in Wymondham, but can't find anything on her marriage. My mother always told me that they emigrated to South Africa, but I can't find anything, also not sure if Alexander is her husband's first name although this is what is stated on her death certificate which I have (A. Morrison), so if they did emigrate, she came back to die at home.

Any help would be great, thank you! Haven't been able to search for a while due to work commitments.
