MORRIS FAMILY

ProfilePosted byOptionsPost Date

Peter Report 31 May 2012 02:25

My name is Peter Morris. My family are from Worcester/Northampton area. Thomas Morris was my grandfather. He was born 1 July 1882 in Ombersley to George and Anne Morris. I think he had 2 brothers, William and Gilbert. Thomas was married to Annie Pitt Robinson on 22 Dec.1904. They migrated to Australia in 1928 on the ship, "Jervis Bay". They were living at 25 Lewis Road Northampton when they left England. I can't find anything much about this family before Thomas was born. Any help would be most appreciated. Thank you.

Lewis Road still exists, but i doubt the house that are there now, are the same ones he lived in, although you cont say when he lived there.
